“As love grows in you, beauty grows, too. For love is the beauty of the soul.” St. Augustine
An oyster that has never been wounded will never produce pearls; so spiritual beauty shines out move vividly when we joyfully embrace the daily crosses that Jesus allows in our lives. Don’t waste suffering…offer it up and don’t forget the incredible witness that you give to those around you!
God bless,

“Love, to be real, must empty us of self.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Sometimes, it can be really hard to love and be nice to someone, especially when they take it for granted or show little respect or appreciation. It’s easy to love our friends, but we know that Christ also wants us to go where it can be tough as well!

“Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others, and talk to God.” St. Francis de Sales
A brief spiritual “time out” to converse with Our Lord, can be so helpful to regain the focus and generosity needed to keep going strong!

“Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw out love.” St. John of the Cross
Some people can just be difficult to love. Yet, they give us an incredible opportunity to love in a pure and disinterested way, with no advantage or perk coming our way.

“It’s much better to do good in a way that nobody knows anything about it.” Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes the simple gift of “presence” when you don’t feel like it can go a long way!

“If you are suffering from a bad man’s injustice, forgive him, lest there be two bad men.” — St. Augustine
You can get upset, you can let it ruin your day or even your week, you can plot out revenge, you can spread bad rumors about the person who hurt you…or like, Christ, you can say, “Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do”, pray for them and ask God to help you forgive them from the heart. This is the pathway to peace and holiness…

“Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.” St. John Chrysostom
God ALWAYS listens to our prayers. If he does not grant our request, it is usually because he sees this might not be the best for our soul or he has something better in mind…

“To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.” St. Teresa of Avila
Our vision, our plans, etc…rarely turn out the way we had thought. Surprises, both pleasant and painful, are the moments God allows to test our faith and they serve as golden opportunities for us to trust in his wise and loving plan.
