If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God.
True holiness consists of the renunciation of ourselves, following completely our common life and the exact fulfilment of all the duties that obedience imposes on us.
My dear brothers and sisters, let us pray in today’s Eucharistic celebration that we will deepen and strengthen our faith and belief in God this Lenten season by working hard in our spiritual lives so as to continue to trust and hope in Him even in these difficult times in our world today.
Receive everything from the hands of God, and see the image of God in everyone.
Be humble and poor on earth, that you may be rich in heaven.
I unite my sufferings to yours, Jesus.
Let us not fear suffering, but embrace it as a path to Christ.
Love never says I have done enough.
He prays always who lives well.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to change our lives and truly repent of our sins. It is time to say "yes" to God and sincerely go back to Him this Lenten season by Hearing His word, by Accepting His word we have heard; and by Putting the Word of God we have heard and accepted into practice in our daily lives.
Stand fast in the faith, and love one another, all of you, and be not offended at my sufferings.
If there be a true way that leads to the everlasting kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured.
Silence and humility are the strength of those who wish to serve God.
true nobleman cannot respect his nobility more than when he serves Christ in the person of the poor.
