FAMOUS QUOTES BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to

test a man's character, give him power.”

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their

minds to be.”

“And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years.”

Stanz: Put them in your backpack, they are designed to

deepen your commitment to the church. Please share

them with a friend or your family.

Think of your oldest church-related possession. Is

it your First Communion prayer book and rosary?

Is it a scapular? Is it your baptismal gown? Read

person who was instrumental in passing on the

Catholic Faith to yo
