WHO DO YOU SAY THAT JESUS IS? “LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE AND I PROFESS THAT YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. TAKE MY LIFE, MY WILL, AND ALL THAT I HAVE, THAT I MAY BE WHOLLY YOURS NOW AND FOREVER.”
WHAT PROFIT IS THERE FOR ONE TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND FORFEIT HIS LIFE? WHAT COULD ONE GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS LIFE. NEITHER MONEY OR POSSESSIONS CAN BUY HEAVEN, MEND A BROKEN HEART, OR CHEER A LONEY PERSON. SEEK GOD ABOVE ALL ELSE AND YOU WILL FIND THAT NOTHING THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER COMES CLOSE TO THE RICHES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
FAITH COMES THROUGH HEARING AND READING. HEARING THE WORD AND TESTIMONIES OF SACRED SCRIPTURE AND BELIEVING THEM.
FORGIVE AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN. GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU
THERE ARE FUNAMENTALLY ONLY TWO CHOICES THAT DETERMINE THE COURSE OF OUR LIVES AND THE FINAL DESTINY THAT AWAITS US; THE CHOICE TO LIVE FOR GOD’S KINGDOM OF PEACE, JOY, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OR THE PURSUIT OF THE WORLD’S KINGDOM WHICH STANDS IN OPPOSITION TO GOD’S AUTHORITY AND COMMANDMENTS. WHO DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE THE MASTER AND RULER OF YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY?
WAIT ON THE LORD. HAVE PATIENCE. ”ACCEPT WHATEVER BEFALLS YOU, WHEN SORROWFUL, BE STEADFAST, AND IN CRUSHING MISFORTUNE BE PATIENT.”
“TO MAINTAIN A JOYFUL FAMILY REQUIRES MUCH FROM BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN. EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY HAS TO BECOME, IN A SPECIAL WAY, THE SERVANT OF THE OTHERS.”
ST. MATTHEW
EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED
SAINT LUKE
GOD NEVER ASK HIS SERVANTS TO DO WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TRUST GOD AND HE WILL HELP YOU
OUR LIVES ARE NOT OUR OWN-THEY BELONG TO GOD
A FAITHFUL FRIEND IS A STURDY SHELTER, HE WHO FINDS ONE FINDS A TREASURE
WE COULD NOT FIND OUR WAY TO GOD IF HE DID NOT FIRST SEEK US OUT AND DRAW US TO HIMSELF. THAT IS WHY THE FATHER IN HEAVEN SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE LORD JESUS, TO SHOW US THE WAY TO THE FATHER
ST. JAMES
O FATHER, GIVE US THE HUMILITY WHICH REALIZES IT’S IGNORANCE, WHICH ADMITS IT’S MISTAKES, RECOGNIZES IT’S NEED, WELCOMES ADVICE, ACCEPTS REBUKE
FOR HUMAN BEINGS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT FOR GOD. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR GOD
“SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD ABOVE ALL ELSE, AND LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED.”
ST. PHILIP THE APOSTLE
THE THINGS WE MOST SET OUR HEART ON IS OUR HIGHEST TREASURE. THE LORD HIMSELF IS THE GREATEST TREASURE WE CAN HAVE
ST. THOMAS THE APOSTEL
BETTER IS A POOR MAN WHO WALKS IN HIS INTEGRITY THAN A RICH MAN WHO IS PERVERSE IN HIS WAYS
WE LOSE WHAT WE KEEP AND GAIN WHAT WE GIVE AWAY. GENEROSITY WILL BE AMPLY REPAID, BOTH IN THIS LIFE AND IN ETERNITY
JUDAS ISCARIOT
MONEY IS NOT THE SOURCE OF FULFILLMENT IN LIFE. LOVE IS
