The Worst Poverty

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)

"When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out of society – that spiritual poverty is much harder to overcome. And abortion, which often follows from contraception, brings a people to be spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most difficult to overcome." 

Saint Teresa of Calcutta

What Does It Mean To Be Humble?

 

Oh, To Have Such Faith!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) And, therefore, my good daughter, do not let your mind be troubled over anything that shall happen to me in this world.   Nothing can come but what God wills.   And I am very sure that whatever that be, however bad it may seem, it shall indeed be the best.  St. Thomas More

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)
