We can all love…
Not all of us can fast, or undertake arduous journeys in God’s service, or give generous alms, but we can all love. All it takes is the sincere desire to do so.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Through confession purify…
Be brave and try to detach your heart from worldly things. Do your utmost to banish darkness from your mind and come to understand what true, selfless piety is. Through confession, endeavor to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it. Enliven your faith, which is essential to understand and achieve piety.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
We will be judged by…
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Faith is a gift….
Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built on faith – faith in Christ, who has said, “I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick and I was homeless, and you ministered to Me.” On these words of His all our work is based.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament…
The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Family that prays together…
Where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By loving one another. But we cannot love one another unless we pray for prayer gives a clean heart. Prayer – family that prays together, stays together and if you stay together, you will love one another as God loves you. And the fruit of that prayer is love, joy, peace. The fruit of prayer is deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love and the fruit of love is service and the fruit of service is peace.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
