Fill Your Lungs

“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”

-Padre Pio

Young Human Beings

“It is not enough for Christian parents to nourish only the bodies of their children; even animals do this. They must also nourish their souls in grace, in virtue, and in God's holy commandments.”

- St. Catherine of Siena

Honor Them

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise: That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.”

Ephesians 6:1-3

Treasures of the Heart

“For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.”

Prayer Life

“In order to pray well we must be in the disposition of spirit for prayer. There must be honesty before God; complete openness inside with God; utter frankness and sincerity towards God. No pretense.”
-Fr. John A. Hardon S.J.

Dialogue with God

“It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone, or seated in your shop ... while buying or selling ... or even while cooking.”

- St John Chrysostom

Begin to Pray

“When you go to pray, let this be a firm resolution: Don't prolong your prayer just because you find consolation in it, nor curtail it just because you find it dry”

-St. Jose Maria Escriva

Spiritual Reading

“I advise you to read the New Testament and to enter into each scene and take part in it, as one more of the characters.

The minutes you spend in this way each day enables you to incarnate the Gospel, reflect it in your life, and help others to reflect it”

St. Jose Maria Escriva

Live the Gospel

JESUS CHRIST SAID:
“Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?”

“The one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

Luke 6:46
