My Catholic Life

[saintquotes]

It is better to be alone with God. His friendship will not fail me, nor His counsel, nor His love. In His strength I will dare and dare and dare until I die.

St. Joan of Arc (via saintquotes)

[saintquotes]

Arm yourself with prayer rather than a sword; wear humility rather than fine clothes.

St. Dominic (via saintquotes)

[catholicconnect]

“God’s invitation to become saints is for all, not just a few. Sanctity therefore must be accessible to all. In what does it consist? In a lot of activity? No. In doing extraordinary things? No, this could not be for everybody and at all times. Therefore, sanctity consists in doing good, and in doing this good in whatever condition and place God has placed us. Nothing more, nothing outside of this.” -Blessed Louis Tezza #CatholicConnect

God’s Hands

“More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth. But now there is a difference, the initiative is entirely with God. It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know and feel myself totally in God’s hands.”--Pedro Arrupe, SJ

As Lent is a time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst; ‘Repent and Believe’ Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of hearts. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor. He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.

Blessed Mother Teresa of calcutta (via sermoveritas)

“Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭MSG‬‬ (via pureblyss)

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genetrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus nostris, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.

{We fly to Thy protection, O Holy Mother of God; Do not despise our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin}
