Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence. 

(Blessed Teresa of Calcutta) 

There Is Only One Thing To Do!

There is only one thing to do, then, and that is to invest our affection, our desire, our love in something stronger than ourselves – I mean in God, the source of all strength. He is our God who loved us without being loved. And once we have discovered a gentle love, strong beyond all other strength, we cannot cling to or desire any other love but Him.

St. Catherine of Siena

Protect This Precious Pearl

The diamond is easily lost in the dunghill, and the precious pearl of faith is in great danger of being lost in a conscience defiled with the filth of sin.
