Boasting too much?
“God hates those who praise themselves.” St. Clement of Rome

Giving credit to: God!
Sweet friendships
“What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!” St. Teresa of Avila

The gift of good friends!
Accepting your imperfections…
“This is the way of perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.” -St. Augustine

Nobody’s perfect…
Choices…
“Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before…all your life long you are turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature.” CS Lewis

We are “under construction”…
The Saints are our friends!
“I believe the Blessed in heaven have great compassion for our miseries. They remember that when they were weak and mortal like us, they committed the same faults themselves and went through the same struggles, and their fraternal tenderness becomes still greater than it ever was on earth. It’s on account of this that they never stop watching over us and praying for us.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Praying to the saints is simply asking the best friends of Jesus to intercede for you…they are up there with him!
