If you no longer have any income, you will not be neglected-you will not starve to death. . . . We panic at first, but God does not always allow the evil that is feared to happen.

Charity is the cement which binds Communities to God and persons to one another . . .

If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts.

We should strive to keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people, and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God.

We should spend as much time in thanking God for his benefits as we do in asking him for them.

The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.

We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love.

Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favorable light at all times and under all circumstances.

Let us do our duty well; let us go straight to God; let us work to become very humble, very patient, very mortified, and very charitable.

God allows us to give rise to the practice of two beautiful virtues: perseverance, which leads us to attain the goal, and constancy, which helps us to overcome difficulties.

Let us allow God to act; He brings things to completion when we least expect it.

Gratitude raises your awareness and focus and it can inspire you to achieve better for yourself and the people around you.

There's nothing like a pack of mules to give one a sense of entourage.

The Lord is my strong shield.

I don't know the beginnings and the end of all things? But apparently most people do.

Everyone knows what falling in love is like but being in love is what people have lost. That intimacy to be in bed with somebody and just laugh and not hold anybody accountable for what they say.

Life is a mystery to be experienced, not solved.

The Sovereign Lord is our secured safety refuge.

I'm the worst ad anyone could possibly be for abstaining from anything.

Life's not easy for anyone. Everyone has scars they're afraid to show and we all get slammed headfirst into a proverbial locker from time to time by someone bigger and badder.

I wrote my first book when I was 22 years old. I have a way with words and I love to write. I can write without getting writers block so I knew, it was a gift.
