Make way! Jesus is coming!
Fight all error but do it with good humour, patience, kindness and love.
My brothers and sisters, as we come closer to birth of Christ, let us not forget the message of Christ’s coming into our world and our lives, which is, to do the will of God. So let us do the will of God by practicing love always, by being faithful to God and by being humble.
For the sake of obtaining that eternal life, no works of piety, ought to seem too difficult to a true believer, no toil too heavy, no pain too bitter, no time spent in labour and suffering, too long or too wearisome.
In tribulations, turn to God with confidence. You will obtain strength, light and knowledge. In joys and successes, turn to God with fear and sincerity. You will escape all snares and be free of everything false - St. John of the Cross
It is not the pain but the purpose that makes a martyr - Saint Augustine.
Our Saviour appeared to Gatian saying, “Fear not! Thy crown is readied and the Saints await thy arrival in Heaven.”
I who have helped build so many churches am not in the habit of burning them down - St. Olympias of Constantinople
For though we are beheaded, and crucified, and exposed to beasts and chains and fire and all other forms of torture, it is plain that we do not forsake the confession of our faith - St. Justin Martyr
My brothers and sisters, as we draw closer to the birth of Christ on Christmas Day, let us work harder this Advent season to bring the happiness and joy of God into our lives first and then, into our world by praying constantly and consistently; by being generous and charitable and by being just and honest in our dealings with others.
The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.
Those whose hearts are pure are temples of the Holy Spirit.
Know, know for sure, my dearest, littlest and youngest son that I am the perfect and ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the God of Truth, through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near us, the Lord of Heaven and earth.
He, I believe, will make Damasus rise again from the dust
