Passing through dirt…
Every flower must grow through dirt.
—Proverb The beautification of our souls depend on the amount of purification that we lovingly embrace in our lives…
Purification is needed
First a witness…
“Do you really believe what you are proclaiming? Do you live what you believe? Do you really preach what you live? The witness of life has become more than ever an essential condition for real effectiveness in preaching.” Pope St. Paul VI
St. John Paul II walked the walk and his fire and love for Christ came out in his preaching and in his daily life…he was first a witness, then a Saint!

Exaggerating a bit?
Persevering in love
“It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.” St. Mother Teresa

Sensitive souls
“It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.” Charles Dickens
