Rely on Him…
Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
— Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Called to be faithful…
God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Free ourselves to be…
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Prayer at anytime…
Make sure that you do not limit your prayer merely to a particular part of the day. Turn to prayer at anytime.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Do not ignore…
No one has ever been accused for not providing ornaments, but for those who neglect their neighbor a hell awaits with an inextinguishable fire and torment in the company of the demons. Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Honor the body of Christ…
Do you wish to honor the body of Christ? Do not ignore him when he is naked. Do not pay him homage in the temple clad in silk, only then to neglect him outside where he is cold and ill-clad. He who said: ‘This is my body’ is the same who said: ‘You saw me hungry and you gave me no food’, and Whatever you did to the least of my brothers you did also to me.’ … What good is it if the Eucharistic table is overloaded with golden chalices when your brother is dying of hunger. Start by satisfying his hunger and then with what is left you may adorn the altar as well.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
