Humility is preserved when I give credit where credit is due - to God.
From Mother Angelica
Jesus did not always like the Apostles' way of acting, but by adapting himself to their temperament, praying for them to his father, giving them a holy example of conduct, he loved them, and that love changed them.
Holiness of life is not the privilege of a chosen few - it is the obligation, the call, and the will of God for every Christian.
Today's man of the world proclaims that sin, and his enterprising in sin, are a part of modern living, but it is not modern. It goes back to Adam and Eve - to desire and the temptation to know - to experience evil.
Every moment of life is like a sacrament in which we can receive God. It is a channel through which God speaks to us, forms us, and directs us.
A sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible reality.
I am not like a pebble on the beach - a grain of sand on the seashore or just one of millions of human beings past, present and future. No, I am a unique human being loved by God as if I were an only child - the only fruit of his creative powers.
Every time I say 'no' to a small temptation, I strengthen my will to say 'no' to a greater one.
I do not ask for the riches that perish or the fame that fades away like a morning mist.
Death at times seems like a dark tunnel to be traveled, and the future seems bleak.
