As soon as I came to believe there was a God, I understood that I could not do otherwise than live only for him.
Are you living for God, because who you are today, all you have today, and all you have achieved in life, are His gifts to you.
I am happier than you are, because I have the Hidden Jesus within my heart - Saint Francisco Marto. Oh, my Jesus! This is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, for the Holy Father, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary - Saint Jacinta Marto
It is as if you are pouring water on me. Please repent and become a Christian like me.” (Saint Charles Lwanga, said to the Guardian of the Flame as he—Charles—was being burnt).
Unless a man gives himself entirely to the Cross, in a spirit of humility and self-abasement; unless he casts himself down to be trampled underfoot by all and despised, accepting injustice, contempt and mockery; unless he undergoes all these things with joy for the sake of the Lord, not claiming any kind of human reward whatsoever - glory or honor or earthly pleasures - he cannot become a true Christian - Saint Mark the Evangelist
