“Jesus will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness. Only then, will his hand be free with you.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
David beat Goliath, Moses beat Pharoah, Noah beat the flood,…with God, with his help and grace, you too can do all things!

Dear Friends in Christ,
“Listen to me! If you do not give time to prayer nor accept the counsel of a spiritual guide, the confusion of the world can even succeed in drowning God’s voice.” (St. John Paul II, March 21, 2002)
Ever since 7th grade, I have had the grace of a holy priest to guide me in my spiritual life. Life can be confusing and our passions and emotions can often cloud our reason. My spiritual guides have helped me to grow in my prayer life and to see the crosses and challenges of life through the eyes of Faith. Personally, when I offer spiritual guidance, I always begin with a prayer to the Holy Spirit, because I know that his inspiration and illumination is what is most needed.

“No Mary, no Jesus…no mother, no son.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Plain and simple. Jesus cannot say no to his mom. To Jesus through Mary!

“The Chinese have a very good proverb: The bird of sorrow has to fly, but see that it does not nest in your mind.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
One of the devil’s greatest temptation is to paint every black, dark and without hope. He wants your discouragement to morph into despair. Fight this temptation! Dig deep in your love for Christ, and remember that Christ is right there with you, pointing you towards the light!
God bless,

“The fullness of the heart is expressed in our eyes, in our touch, in what we write, in what we say, the way we walk, the way we receive, the way we need.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Christ made us to be “Him”, to reflect his love, his kindness, his compassion, his selflessness in everything we do. Pray daily, go to Mass/Confession, visit Jesus frequently in the Eucharist, read Scripture, pray the rosary,…and this transformation will naturally happen!
God bless,

“If you were to die today, what would others say about you? What was in you that was beautiful, that was Christlike, that helped others to pray better?” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“You don’t know how very happy I am to let God just do whatever he likes with me.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Are you willing to let the Holy Spirit change your plans? Do you pick up the internal phone to listen to his message when you hear his message ringing in your heart and mind?
God bless,

“Kindness has converted more people than zeal or eloquence.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Truly listening, holding a door for someone, steering the conversation towards the other person’s interest, taking the middle seat in the car, filling a glass with water during a meal, handwritten thank you notes, making a fresh pot of coffee,…these are the “little” things that can make a huge difference.
God bless,
