“It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found – not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.” St. Teresa of Avila
God’s merciful love is always flowing abundantly in the Sacrament of Reconciliation…take advantage of this tremendous gift!!
“Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other’s good, and melt at other’s woe.” Homer
“In times of aridity when I am incapable of praying, of practicing virtue, I seek little opportunities, mere trifles, to give pleasure to Jesus; for instance a smile, a pleasant word when inclined to be silent and to show weariness. If I find no opportunities, I at least tell Him again and again that I love Him; that is not difficult and it keeps alive the fire in my heart. Even though this fire of love might seem extinct I would still throw little straws upon the embers and I am certain it would rekindle.” St. Therese of Lisieux
“People themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them forever.” (Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice)
