Help me, a sinner
“Lord, watch out for me today lest I betray you yet again today.” (Taken from a quote by St Phillip Neri}
See Christ
“I can see the sun light, but if I close my eyes, I cannot see; this is not the fault of the sun, but mine” – Saint Thomas Aquinas
Live Heaven Now
You are living eternal life right now. And if you’re not living it properly on earth, before death, why should you expect to live it in heaven after death? If you don’t choose to give your life to Jesus now, why would you expect to be with Him forever?
Getting Dizzy
We wander in a circle, longing after something to gratify our yearnings, yet madly rejecting that which alone can bring us to the desired end. – St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Happiness
Only God meets the deepest longings of the human heart, which is never fully satisfied by what this world has to offer. – “Gaudium et Spes” (“The Church in the Modern World”)
Stuff
“possess and love nothing that your are not ready to give up at the first sign” – Words of Our Lord to Sr. Josefa Menendez
A Prayer
Lord, have mercy on me and grant me the grace to be able to say: ‘I have seen the Lord, not because he appeared to me, but because I saw him with my heart.’
Priorities
“Never mind the drink. One Communion more and then eternity.” – St Elizabeth Seton (on her deathbed)
