All our religion is but a false religion... if we have not that universal charity for everyone.

My brothers and sisters, it is time to start preparing ourselves for the kingdom of heaven today because we do not know when our lives here would end or when the judgement day will come. So let us be encouraged by Jesus’s words to us in today’s gospel reading that ‘by our perseverance, we will secure our lives,’ and let us continue to answer His call to be His true disciples by accepting His gospel and by living it out in our world today.
The greater and more persistent, your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive, all that you ask.
He who loves peace will always love God.
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend upon material success… but on Jesus alone.
Please God I will give my life for the holy union, for the supremacy of Peter and of the Holy Father, his successor.
I am a soldier of Christ; it is not permissible for me to fight.
Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife.
So my sisters and brothers, since God’s presence in our soul in this life is an invitation to increase constantly the intensity of our personal closeness to the Him, let us come closer to Him today as we celebrate the feast of the dedication of St. John Lateran Basilica by being reverent and respectful to Him when we enter a church, recognizing that He is present in the Tabernacle and that His Divine grace in us makes us His living temples.
I have found heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul.
Of all that happens, take the good and let go of the bad.
Prayer, prayer…pray for a while each day, and life will be easier and bearable.
Work always with the same spirit of Christ. Keep Jesus before your eyes. He is the model of all called to glory.
If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness.
Do not complain, that shows discontent with the will of God in the present moment. That is also proof of impatience.
