“If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon our Lady, just say this simple prayer: ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.’ I must admit, this prayer has never failed me.”
– St. Mother Teresa
“It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.” J.R.R. Tolkein
“Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.”
— Saint Philip Neri
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Neale Donald Walsh
“Today’s society does not pray. That is why it is falling apart.” St. Padre Pio
“We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice.” Pope St. Paul VI
“Open wide your door to the one who comes. Open your soul, throw open the depths of your heart to see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the sweetness of grace. Open your heart and run to meet the Sun of eternal light that illuminates all men.” St. Ambrose
“Always live under the eyes of the Good Shepherd and you will walk unharmed through evil pastures.” St. Padre Pio
“You must speak to Jesus also with the heart, besides the lips; indeed, in certain cases you must speak to him only with the heart.” St. Padre Pio
