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

"…Christians are a joke to much of the world.  We are often salt that has lost its flavor and “is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot” (Matthew 5:13).  Unrepentant, lukewarm Christians are the most nauseating (see Revelations 3:16), pitiful creatures in the world. Repent! "

Will You Stand Up For What You Believe?

Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.  Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.
