Growing in our love for Christ
“It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master: no path of redemption can make a detour around it.” Hans Urs Von Balthasar
How do you react when confronted with the cross? “Thank you, Jesus for this opportunity to grow in my love for you”…or “Good Grief!”
Prayer corners are needed now!
“With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim the journey!” Dorothy Day
*With our Sacramental life being temporarily put on hold, I encourage all of you to make a prayer corner somewhere in your house. Read Scripture and good spiritual books, pray the rosary, speak to Jesus and Mary from the heart, follow Mass on line…and take advantage of your home being, in the words of St. John Paul II, a “Domestic Church”!

We are God’s gift
“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been born in God’s thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest and most precious thing in all thinking.” CS Lewis
Spiritual battle
“Remember that it is not feeling of guilt that constitutes sin but the consent to sin. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.” St. Padre Pio
March for Life!
“. . . we are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between good and evil, death and life, the “culture of death” and the “culture of life”. We find ourselves not only faced with but necessarily in the midst of this conflict: we are all involved and we all share in it, with the inescapable responsibility of choosing to be unconditionally pro-life.” (St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae)
Walking with Jesus
Trust in God
“You must have boundless faith in the divine goodness, for the victory is absolutely certain.” St. Padre Pio
