“A sign that we love truly love God is that we love Him the same in all occasions.” St. Francis de Sales
When the going gets tough…
Marriage…
“And if the husband is kind and straightforward, why should not love last? The first phase of married love will pass, it is true, but then there will come a love that is better still. Then there will be the union of souls, they will have everything in common, there will be no secrets between them. And once they have children, the most difficult times will seem to them happy, so long as there is love and courage.” Fyodor Doestovsky

Start your day with Jesus!
The will of God
“For by doing what God demands of us with total surrender of our innermost being, we cause the divine life to become our own inner life. Entering into ourselves, we find God in our own selves.” St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Working on your “inside”
