Homily for the 5th week of Lent
Selflessness
“The many troubles in your household will tend to your edification, if you strive to bear them all in gentleness, patience, and kindness. Keep this ever before you, and remember constantly that God’s loving eyes are upon you amid all these little worries and vexations, watching whether you take them as He would desire. Offer up all such occasions to Him, and if sometimes you are put out, and give way to impatience, do not be discouraged, but make haste to regain your lost composure.” St. Francis de Sales
Unconditional love
Never give up!
“Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.” Helen Keller
Get back up and find a way!
Loving everyone!
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.” Thomas Merton
Everyone is worthy of your love!
Worrying?
“Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due.” Will Rogers
