“The reason for our existence is to quench the thirst of Jesus. When he asked for water, the soldier gave him vinegar to drink—but his thirst was for love, for souls, for you and me.” St. Mother Teresa

Gratitude
“Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” C.S. Lewis

Swimming in God
“In God we live and move and have our being. It is God who gives life to all, who gives power and being to all that exists. But for his sustaining presence, all things would cease to be and fall back into nothingness. Consider that you are in God, surrounded and encompassed by God, swimming in God.” St. Mother Teresa
Are you willing to help God?
“The most deadly poison of our times is indifference. And this happens, although the praise of God should know no limits. Let us strive, therefore, to praise him to the greatest extent of our powers.” Maximilian Kolbe
God is looking to you for help…are you willing?

Dear Friends, in Christ,
I am re-sending the note below because we really could use your help…any small amount would be deeply appreciated! I do ask those who support the NY Tri-State to wait to support our local effort in the New Year. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
It has been a real pleasure to serve all of you through my daily videos, reflections and LifeZette articles. Your supportive comments and emails are very encouraging, and I am glad that this simple service has been useful to you and your families.
Once again, I would like to make my annual request for help. I know that many of you have already been extremely generous in showing your financial support both in DC and NY, so for those who have already given, thank you!! With 14 priests, seminarians, and mission corps young men currently living in our house in DC and 10 priests living in our house in NY, we have a combined annual budget of over $300,000 and hope to send an additional $30,000 to our seminary in Cheshire, Ct. to support their needs as well. All donations will be divided between NY and DC. Please consider being an ANGEL FOR A DAY, whose support will be felt all year by many, by using the link below to make a tax deductible donation*:

Sometimes, just hanging in there and trying your best to do God’s will is an incredible thing…persevere with love and trust in Christ!
