“God enriches the soul which empties itself of everything.” St. Padre Pio
The less your heart is filled with your own interests, selfish desires and worries, the more God can fill it with his love and grace. Let Jesus in!

“It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.” -St. Ignatius of Loyola

“Remember that it is not feeling of guilt that constitutes sin but the consent to sin. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.” St. Padre Pio
Feeling tempted is not sinful; consciously consenting is when you cross the line. Temptation can be a golden opportunity to grow in virtue and holiness.

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.” — Charles Dickens

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape.” Charles Dickens
This is who we are following. Don’t be surprised by suffering, but try to see the good that God is trying to bring about through your personal crosses!
God bless,
