"Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon they own prudence. In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."
St. Therese of Lisieux

Mother Teresa
MOTHER TERESA
Sister Gabriela is here. She works beautifully for Jesus - the most important is that she knows how to suffer and at the same time how to laugh. That is the most important - she suffers and she laughs.
ST. FRANCIS DE SALES
When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven and the earth's sweetest nectar from the flowers, it turns it into honey, then hastens to its hive. In the same way, the priest, having taken from the altar the Son of God (who is as the dew from heaven, and true Son of Mary, flower of our humanity), gives Him to you as delicious food.
ST. ANGELA OF FOLIGNO
If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament, I am sure that the thought of Christ's love for us would transform the coldness of our hearts into a fire of love and gratitude.
"Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors' souls and come to their rescue."
St. Faustina
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.
1 Corinthians 13:11
Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6
His Lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou has been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
