“I wish my voice could reach all sinners: Come to Christ where all is love.” St. Padre Pio
The calling of Matthew by Jesus says it all…the greedy tax collector simply could not say no to Jesus, and gave up everything to follow him. Jesus is a friend of sinners!!
“Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not tell you so. Love demands a personal commitment to the will of God.” St. John Paul II
If we are truly Christians and trying to follow in Christ’s footsteps, we should not be surprised by the cross: the pathway to peace, inner joy and inspiration for all those around you!
Downshift, hit the brakes…slow down the brain.
Get off the fast track…get off the train!
Stop sprinting…before you get a sprain!
Hoping this poem…provides a chicane!
Less thinking, more praying…so Christ reigns!
Lean into his heart… and there remain!
You never waste time with God…pure gain!
Trust his plan…enter his domain!!
“Wherever I go I will find you, my God.” St. John Baptist De La Salle
“What is the mark of love for your neighbor? Not to seek what is for your own benefit, but what is for the benefit of the one loved, both in body and in soul.” –St. Basil the Great
