My favorite quotes

Mother Teresa

Wilt thou refuse? When there was question of thy soul I did not think of Myself but gave Myself freely for thee on the Cross and now what about thee?

Wilt thou refuse?

I want thee a victim of My love, who would be so very united to Me as to radiate My love on souls. I want thee free, covered with My Poverty of the Cross. I want thee obedient, covered with My Obedience on the Coss. I want thee full of love, covered with My Charity of the Cross.

This Evening's Plans

I had a date tonight with a handsome young man who is not my husband. :unsure:

Theology, theology, and...

At our Sunday mass we had a visiting priest--a monsignor, actually--from México. He gave a rousing homily about his role as a shepherd, a pastor of Christ's flock, and about our need to be "on fire" with the Gospel, and our responsibility to evangelize others.

With him he brought a young man whom he praised as an "amazing talent". The young man played his own composition as our recessional hymn. Later, this fellow was selling his CDs at the community get-together we have a... [Read More]
