Sail away with Jesus

by

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover.” –Mark Twain

Silence and prayer

by

Silence is precious: by keeping silence and knowing how to listen to God, the soul grows in wisdom and God teaches it what it cannot learn from men. Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew

Following Jesus

by

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.” Ernest Hemingway

Unanswered prayers..

by

“A certain pride, a certain awe, withheld him from offering to God even one prayer at night, though he knew it was in God’s power to take away his life while he slept and hurl his soul hellward ere he could beg for mercy.”

James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
