“I am a Catholic priest from Poland; I would like to take his place because he has a wife and children.”
—St Maximilian Kolbe
The man St Maximilian gave his life for at Auschwitz lived to be 93 years old and he was present at the canonization of St Maximilian in 1982
Life is very fragile and our days are not our own.
May Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and all those who pass away today Rest In Peace.
May God show them His deep and tender mercy and console the families who grieve.
Happy Mother’s Day to every woman as she gives the gift of herself, her tender receptivity, her sheltering heart and the strong protection of her love.
If 2020 isn’t a call to personal conversion, to examine our hearts, turn away from darkness and ask Jesus to heal us so we can live for Him, I don’t know what is.
We are not the sum
of our weaknesses and failures.
We are the sum
of the Father's love for us
and our real capacity
to become the image
of His Son Jesus.
-St John Paul II
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
-St. Teresa of Avila
Thank you God for:
All You have given
All You have withheld
All You have withdrawn
All You have permitted
All You have prevented
All You have forgiven me
All You have prepared for me
For having created me to love You for eternity
Deo gratias!

We are not
some casual
and meaningless
product of evolution.
Each of us is the result
of a thought of God.
Each of us is willed,
each of us is loved,
each of us is necessary.
-Pope Benedict XVI
Every life is a gift.
Every life is sacred.
Every person is a precious treasure.
Every person is a unique and unrepeatable creation.

So saddened to hear about Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade. Depression and hopelessness is a dark place. I battled it myself for many years. Please tell someone about it. Your life is precious and you are needed in this world.The darkness of today is not the end of your story 🙏🏻

This is the sound from the NY Senate chamber after the 38-24 vote to:
- Add abortion to the NY Constitution
- Allow non-physicians to commit abortions
- Allow abortion through third trimester
- Repeal protections for surviving babies
Pure evil.
On this feast day of St Monica, we thank God for all mothers who pray, sacrifice, offer and who never give up on their children.
Mothers, you may not see the fruit of your love on this side of heaven, but one day you will see everything in the light of God‘s love.
Thank you.
It is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness;
He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you;
He is the beauty to which you are so attracted;
It is He who provoked you with a thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise.
-St John Paul II
Praying for all of the awesome priests who will be praying many masses beginning this evening! You are loved and appreciated, thanks for serving the Bride, the Church 👰🏼⛪️

He is not here.
He is risen.
This day of resurrection
changes everything.
From darkness to light
From despair into hope
The wounds of Jesus are transformed from death to life.
May our hearts be enlightened,
our wounds transformed,
our lives resurrected.
Happy Easter ✝️
Stand firm.
Do not give up.
Hope is not lost.
Whatever you are facing is passing.
The Lord does not leave you nor forsake you.
You are loved with an eternal love.
Forever.
"There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us.
There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered.
There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us,
and does not now bear with us."
— St. John Paul II

So grateful to God for 20 years of espousal to Jesus, it’s been an amazing and wonderful adventure! ♥️

Pray for our world.
Teach us.
Guide us.

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.

God will provide the way
and the means,
such as you could
never have imagined.
Leave it all to Him,
let go of yourself,
lose yourself on the Cross,
and you will find yourself entirely.
-St Catherine of Siena
The world needs mothers.
As religious women,
We pray for you
We care for you
We sacrifice for you
We take your cares to heart
We bring your needs to Jesus
We cry with you
We laugh with you
We love you.
Somewhere in the world right now,
a Sister is praying for you.
Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love bears all things,
Endures all things.
Love never fails.
-1 Cor 13:4-8
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,

His love is eternal.
His love endures.

“Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same understanding Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day.
He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace.”
—St Francis de Sales
God,
We thank you
For the love you give
For the blessings we have
For the unknown graces given
For the sufferings so mysterious
For the people you have sent us
For the steadfast care you offer
For the protection hidden
For sins forgiven
For every gift
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Am I not here, who is your Mother?
Are you not under my protection?
Am I not your health?
Are you not happily
within my fold?
What else do you wish?
Do not grieve nor be
disturbed by anything.
-Our Lady of Guadalupe

Heal our broken hearts
Heal our hardness of heart
Bring us into love
Bring us into truth
Brings us into your own Heart
Jesus, heal us.

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.
When one loves, one does not calculate.

Botham Jean's brother to Amber Guyger: "I forgive you."
In a stunning moment, Brandt Jean asked the judge to allow him to hug the former Dallas police officer after she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing his sibling.
Happy Birthday dear Mother Mary. You are glorious, beautiful, humble, strong and full of grace.
Pray for us, your little children.
Intercede for us, protect us, and bring us closer to your Son, Jesus.
Love is patient,love is kind.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres.
Love never fails.

God, grant us the serenity
To accept the things we cannot change;
The courage to change the things we can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
