The Future Starts Today



"Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

True holiness does not mean a flight from the world; rather, it lies in the effort to incarnate the Gospel in everyday life, in the family, at school and at work, and in social and political involvement."


-Pope John Paul II

If We Pray


“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass--grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

~Mother Teresa

Christian Love



JESUS CHRIST SAID:
“If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you...

...If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”


-Matthew 5:41-48

Come Follow Me

“W
hat exchange shall a man give for his soul?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works.”

Care of the Soul



“Being good does not consist in not committing any fault; rather in knowing to amend one’s self .

If you save your soul, you’ll be happy forever; but if you lose your soul, you lose everything: soul, body, heaven, God, which is your supreme destiny...and this, for all eternity”

~St. John Bosco

Be Not Afraid!


“Christianity is not only a religion of knowledge, of contemplation. It is a religion of God's action and man's action.

-John Paul II

Let Us Begin




“When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.


You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing.

Jesus made it very clear: 'Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.'”

-Mother Teresa
