Don't judge
each day by the harvest you reap ... but by the seeds you plant!
Let your
light shine brightly so others can see their way out of the dark. Dare to
reach out into the darkness, to pull another into the light.
“The man
who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” – Chinese
Proverb
“Many of
life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison

“People who are
crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Apple
Computers
“How to pray?
This is a simple matter. Pray any way you like, so long as you do pray….
Sometimes it takes courage to pray; but it is possible to pray, and necessary to
pray. “
~ John Paul II, The Way of Prayer~
Love is celebration. Love is
joy. Love is moving forward. ~Pope Francis
“Lazarus, come forth!'' is a cry addressed to all. Christ does not resign
Himself to the tombs we have built…with our mistakes
and our sins. He invites us, to come forth from the tomb in which our sins
have buried us. [It is] an invitation
to free ourselves of our bonds, the bonds of pride.
Our resurrection begins here: when we decide to obey
Jesus' command to come into the light, to life;
when the shroud falls from our faces – often we are shrouded by sin, - and we
rediscover the courage of our original face,
created in the image and semblance of God.
There is no limit to the divine mercy offered to all.
The Lord is always ready to lift the tombstone of our sins, that separate us
from Him, the light of the living. ~Pope Francis
“It is better to share, because we
bring to Heaven only that which we have shared with others,”
~Pope Francis
