“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.” St. Mother Teresa

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” –Mark Twain
    Allow Jesus to love others through you…and make space in your day to pray so you have the grace to make it happen!

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

–Confucius
    When the race of life gets a little tougher, and you are feeling down and out and simply want to give up…look up to see Jesus cheering you on and remember all the souls that he has entrusted to you…the finish line is not that far away!!

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” — Dr. Seuss    It can be a good thing to review the highlight film of your life and thank God for the victories and for the moments that allowed you to get back up and grow in virtue….

 “In America, you are not required to offer food to the hungry or shelter the homeless. There is no ordinance forcing you to visit the lonely, or comfort the infirmed. No where in the Constitution does it say you have to provide clothing to the poor. In fact, one of the nicest things about living here in America, is that you really don’t have to do anything for anybody. But when you do, you give meaning and provide soul to the concept of community…and develop a sense of purpose to something greater than one’s self….” Pope St. Paul VI
