Leaving our comfort zone

by

“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”― C.S. Lewis


God wants all of us to soar to the heights, leaving our comfort zone, trusting that his grace will be more than enough!

Adoration

by

“How pleasing to our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is the short quarter of an hour that we steal from our occupations, from something of no use, to come and pray to Him, to visit Him, to console Him.” (Saint John Vianney)

Hard training

by

“Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis
  Training hard for a marathon translates into a better time and generally a little less pain during the “wall” period of the race. Pray and discipline your passions, and then virtues tend to shine a little brighter…

Prayer heals

by

Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness. –St. John Chrysostom
  Prayer heals, strengthens, consoles and sweetens the heart…make more time for Jesus!!
 

Your fishbowl

by

“How can we answer to ourselves for the souls who have in our times lived and died in sin; the souls that have been lost and are now waiting for the judgment, seeing that for what we know, we were ordained to influence or reverse their present destiny and have not done it?” Blessed Cardinal Newman
  Who has God providentially placed in your fishbowl? Are you leading them closer to Jesus?

Wasting time?

by

“We have only short moments of this life to work for God’s glory. The devil knows this and that is why he tries to make us waste time in useless things. O, let us not waste our time! Let us save souls!” St. Therese of Lisieux
