"Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone,, all the time…this is what it means to be contemplative.” – St.Teresa of Calcutta

The Only Thing That Matters In The End

In the end it does not really matter whether I am successful in a thousand and one other things.  In the end the only thing that matters is whether or not I save my soul.  And it is up to me! 

Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S. 

Let Us Not Waste Our Time!

We have only short moments of this life to work for God's glory. The devil knows this and that is why he tries to make us waste time in useless things. O, let us not waste our time! Let us save souls! 

Souls are falling into hell innumerable as the flakes of snow on a winter day. Jesus weeps! Instead of consoling Him we are brooding over our own sorrows…There is only one thing to do during the brief day, or rather, night of this life:Love Jesus with all the strength of your heart and save souls for Him, so that He may be loved! 

 St. Therese of Lisieux

The reason why we find life so hard, mortification so difficult, and why we are inclined to avoid all that we dislike, is because we have no real love for Jesus.

He Was Not Off The Mark, Was He?
