From the words of the Late Blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen...

“A reasonable being should ask himself why - if chemicals can enter into plants, and plants be taken up into animals, and animals be taken into man - why man himself, who is the peak of visible creation, should be denied the privilege of being assimilated into a higher power? The rose has no right to say that there is no life above it and neither has man, who has a vast capacity and unconquerable yearning for eternal life and truth and love.”

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Thank you for posting the Archbishop Sheen quote. He is one of my favorites.
