Fools for Christ
“Ah, well, I am a great and sublime fool. But then I am God’s fool, and all His works must be contemplated with respect.” Mark Twain
Compassion and self-mastery
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” Mark Twain
Try to see Jesus present in these difficult moments…the person hurting you is probably hurting inside worse than you are…try to see that person through the eyes of Christ’s merciful love, and allow your feeling of anger to slowly become compassion!

St. John Henry Cardinal Newman
Looking for God’s plan

Friendship requires quality communication
