“How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.” -George Washington Carver
Sail away with Jesus
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.” –Mark Twain
Sailing with God
Silence and prayer
Silence is precious: by keeping silence and knowing how to listen to God, the soul grows in wisdom and God teaches it what it cannot learn from men. Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew
The need for silence
Following Jesus
“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.” Ernest Hemingway
Living as a Catholic
Unanswered prayers..
“A certain pride, a certain awe, withheld him from offering to God even one prayer at night, though he knew it was in God’s power to take away his life while he slept and hurl his soul hellward ere he could beg for mercy.”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
