Fading out or fighting on?

Loving God

Protect your peace!
“Joy is one of the best safeguards against temptation. The devil is a carrier of dust and dirt; he uses every chance to throw what he has at us. A joyful heart knows how to protect herself from such dirt. Jesus can take full possession of our soul only if it surrenders itself joyfully.” –St. Teresa of Calcutta
Keep going!
“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces… never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again. That’s the beauty of being alive… We can always start all over again. Enjoy God’s amazing opportunities bestowed on us. Have faith in Him always.” St. Bernadette

Moms
“Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail.

Feelings
“We live in a sensate age. We are no longer governed by Faith, we are no longer governed by reason. We are governed by feelings.“ Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
