Christian perfection consists in three things: praying heroically, working heroically, and suffering heroically.

Remove from your lives the filth and uncleanness of vice.
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and Alleluia is our song.
Physical death closes the night of this present life and introduces us to the rising of the future life.
It is not the work that we do that makes us saints, but the way in which we do it.
The Passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love. The greatest and most overwhelming work of God's love.
Remember the word of God to us today in our first reading from the Book of Prophet Isaiah 45:6 “I am the LORD, there is no other.” So let us to stand up for the truth by sincerely rendering and giving to God what is God’s when we truly live out and teach the gospel of Christ in our world today as emphasized by Jesus Himself in today's gospel reading from the gospel of Saint Matthew 22:15-21.
Christianity is not a matter of persuading people of particular ideas, but of inviting them to share in the greatness of Christ.
I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.
Leave it all to God and leave your interests in His hands. He knows what is fitting for us…
If offences abound, then, let mercy also abound; for with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous, redemption.
Sinners, how much I want to tell you… Do not risk losing Jesus for all eternity, for he is so good.
Virtue is acquired primarily through an intense sacramental life, and the Eucharist is undoubtedly the culmination of charity.
Let us do so firstly, by truly Accepting God’s Word into our lives. Secondly, by sincerely Living out the Word of God we have received and accepted. Thirdly, by Carrying our crosses daily and following Christ. Fourthly, by Fighting the temptations that come our way as we answer our call to discipleship. And lastly, by Loving God and our neighbors as ourselves. Amen!
I die, but my work will not die.
