    MEN OF GOD ARE CHOSEN IN SECLUSION BY GOD HIMSELF.
    I WONDER IF THE NUMBER 25 WILL HOLD WHEN DAIJIWORLD PUBLISHES THE NUMBERS IN YEARS TO COME.
    MUCH MUST CHANGE ON THE PART OF PARENTS' THOUGHTS ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN.
    MUCH MUST BE PLANTED FOR A CONTINUED TRUST AND BELIEF,
    MUCH MUST BE SACRIFICED FOR A CONTINUED CATHOLIC MOVEMENT.
    SIMPLY PRAYING MAY NO LONGER BE ENOUGH.
