There is no need to squander time in hatred for our brothers and sisters. Only God can judge their hearts. Our duty is to treat everyone with respect and love

Lord, help me to be humble of heart so that you will heal me.Relieve me of the bondage of selfso that I may do your will.

We have the Spiritual Ability to overcome the self-indulgence that leads to serious personal problems. With the Holy Spirit’s aid, we can say no to the temptations that lure us into serious wrongdoing. God is not foreign to my freedom.The Spirit breathes life into my most intimate desires,gently nudging me towards all that is good.

We change the world little by not doing things.Living right does not consist merely in not doing bad things, we must work to also do good things.

Work to become someone to whom any soul can come to discover God’s truth and God’s love. Dear God: Take my will,Take my life, Take this day and make it yours.
