Inspirational thoughts
God’s will…
“I will attempt day by day to break my will into pieces. I want to do God’s Holy Will, not my own!” -St. Gabriel Possenti of Our Lady of Sorrows
Is your Sunday a “day of rest”?
“Enjoy yourself as much as you like—if only you keep from sin.” ― Saint John Bosco
Sprinting to the finish
“We must often draw the comparison between time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean” – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Prayer
“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” – Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
The storms of life
“I know well that the greater and more beautiful the work is, the more terrible will be the storms that rage against it.” -St. Faustina
Learning to let go
Anxiety
“Anxiety increases in direct ratio and proportion as man departs from God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Trust
“Leave it all to God and leave your interests in His hands. He knows what is fitting for us…” St. Teresa of Ávila
“Joy” beats happiness!
“Joy is prayer–Joy is strength–Joy is love–Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls…. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen.”
– SAINT MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA
