Fr. Al: On Covetousness

"Covetousness is a vague word, but it means simply greed or desire for material possessions, goods and money. It is written in the Psalms, "Be still and you shall know your God." Desire, greed, and covetousness keep our hearts from being still. They agitate our hearts. They create this inner noise and we do not hear God, nor find Him, nor be one with Him. So, we must make our hearts still, silent and quiet by ridding them of all desire, greed and covetousness. If we do this, then we will hear the voice of God. " ~  Fr. Al's Homily to his Children, February 19, 1992

Fr. Al: On Prayer

"By prayer, we leave this earth. We leave this material, visible world. We enter the world of God. We discover the beauty of God’s world. We experience a new joy, new delight, and new pleasure. We become spiritual beings. That is why Jesus wants us to pray for ourselves." - Fr. Al Schwartz

Fr. Al: On Devotion to the Eucharist

"The Eucharist is the main source of Grace in our life. Devotion to the Eucharist, then, should be the heart and center of our spiritual life." - Servant of God, Fr. Aloysius Schwartz
