“WHAT IS FAITH? IT IS THE CONFIDENT ASSURANCE THAT SOMETHING WE WANT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS THE CERTAINTY THAT WHAT WE HOPE FOR IS WAITING FOR US, EVEN THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE IT UP AHEAD.”
"To suffer with others is the essence of the word compassion. When we ourselves experience rejection, betrayal, or injustice, we are faced with a choice. We can turn inward in bitterness and self-pity, or we can choose holy compassion, loving even in the midst of pain, rejection, and abuse, like Jesus did while he hung from the cross."
“NOT A SHRED OF THE NEW TESTAMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN” IF JESUS’ APOSTLES HAD NOT HAD AN EVIDENCE BASED BELIEF THAT THEY SAW HIM ALIVE AFTER HE DIED.
IF YOU COULD ASK JESUS FOR ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
An act of mercy, giving drink to the thirsty

“I BELIEVE, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND-AND I UNDERSTAND, THE BETTER TO BELIEVE.”
DO YOU TRUST IN GOD TO GIVE YOU HIS HELP AND STRENGTH WHEN YOUR FAITH IS PUT TO THE TEST?
SOME COME TO REALIZE THAT THERE WAS NO WAY ONE CAN LIVE A LIFE OFFENDING GOD AND THEN TO BE ACCEPTED IN THE END.
WE ARE BORN TO LOVE, WE LIVE TO LOVE, AND WE WILL DIE TO LOVE STILL MORE.
GOD SAYS: MY NAME IS I AM. MY NAME IS NOT I WAS. MY NAME IS NOT I WILL BE. GOD IS WITH US ALWAYS. HE IS IN CONTROL EVERYWHERE, IN EVERYTHING AND ALWAYS.
St. Raphael the Archangel
IN THE END OF YOUR LIFE, TO HEAR THESE WORDS; “GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER INTO THE JOY OF YOUR LORD, IS WORTH MORE THAN ALL THE TREASURES OF THIS WORLD.
SEVEN DEADLY SINS
SIN DOES NOT JUST HAPPEN FROM EXTERNAL FORCES. IT FIRST SPRINGS FROM THE INNERMOST RECESSES OF OUR THOUGHTS AND INTENTIONS, FROM THE SECRET DESIRES WHICH ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL MIND AND HEART CAN CONCEIVE.
THE MEASURE YOU MEASURE WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU
WHOEVER EXALTS HIMSELF WILL BE HUMBLED; BUT WHOEVER HUMBLES HIMSELF WILL BE EXALTED
LORD, I AM NOT WORTHY THAT THOU SHOULDST ENTER UNDER MY ROOF, BUT ONLY SAY THE WORD AND MY SOUL SHALL BE HEALED
SAINT PETER
JESUS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THERE ARE NO NEUTRAL PARTIES, WHEN IT COMES TO ONE’S OWN LIFE. YOU ARE EITHER FOR JESUS OR AGAINST HIM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD OR AGAINST.
JESUS HAS GIVEN YOU A PARTICULAR MISSION HE HAS NOT ENTRUSTED TO ANOTHER. SAY “YES” TO THAT MISSION TODAY.
OBEYING GOD IS A BLESSING, NOT A BURDEN. IT MAKES US WHO WE ARE MEANT TO BE.
