Strive to be faithful to that which God has called you.
Strive to be faithful to that which God has called you.
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled (Titus 1:15)
Let us pray in today’s Eucharistic celebration for the grace to truly and sincerely answer our call to discipleship like Peter, Andrew, James and John with a spirit of commitment and service to God, by constantly deepening our faith in God when we listen to and believe in His Word; by professing our Faith in Him; by confidently living out our faith and bearing witness to it daily in our lives; and lastly, by spreading it in the world.
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them—every day begin the task anew.
I do not think of reward; I am working for God and do so cheerfully.
To endure faithfully is a victory beyond this life.
I would offend my Spouse if I were to try to please you. He chose me first and He shall have me!
In this life, nothing is of value, only God, God alone is worth all our striving.
I am Fr Tommaso of Cori and I come here to become holy - St. Tomasso da Cori
My dear brothers and sisters, let us pray to God in today’s Eucharistic celebration for the grace and assistance to truly witness to Him by going back to Him through the practice of an Examination of Conscience, a Call to true Contrition and a sincere Call of Reformation in our spiritual lives.
When you lie down on your bed to sleep, remember with thanksgiving the blessings and the providence of God.
If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor.
Prayer is the source of all strength. Without it, we can do nothing.
Prayer ought to carry over into our thoughts, our words and our actions.
The Word was made flesh so that flesh might be made holy - St. Hilary
