St. Charbel

St. Charbel was a “hidden” saint,
Austerity…without complaint,
A life of prayer and self-restraint,
Humility…without a taint!
So many miracles!…you wonder why?
Whatever God wanted, he would comply,
Joyful suffering was his “battle cry”!
If Charbel “asks”…Christ can’t turn a blind eye!
Husbands

“The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother”
– Coach John Wooden
Holy “husbands”
Childhood…

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T.S. Eliot
The adventures of childhood
Motherhood

“Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares a world she will not see.” -St. Pope Paul VI
A mother’s patience
Seeking Jesus!

“Where have You hidden Yourself, / And abandoned me in my groaning, O my Beloved? / You have fled like the hart, / Having wounded me. / I ran after You, crying; but You were gone.” St. John of the Cross
