Lord #‎ God , I praise Your Holy Name. Let every beat of my heart be a note of love in the symphony of my life.

Faith is what gets you started. Hope is what keeps you going. Love is what brings you to the end.

Those who tell the Truth love you. Those who tell you what you want to hear love themselves.

Holiness is not for wimps and the cross is not negotiable, sweetheart, it's a requirement.

Unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous. When you have God, you don’t have to know everything about it; you just do it.

God wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.

Simply believing in the existence of God is not exactly what I would call a commitment. After all, even the devil believes that God exists. Believing has to change the way we live.

Faith is one foot on the ground, one foot in the air, and a queasy feeling in the stomach.

You can't go to Heaven hating somebody. Forgive now. Be compassionate now. Be patient now. Be grateful now. Love Jesus and Mary now. Accept God's will now.

If you're not a thorn in somebody's side, you aren't doing Christianity right.

It's your obligation to speak the truth, and everyone can either take it or leave it. But truth must be in us. We live in such a poverty of truth today.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

Sometimes the only way to gain someones favor is to stop giving them yours.

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.

You may travel the whole world, but you'll not find true religion anywhere. Whatever there is, it is in your own mind.

We are to work not to satisfy our own needs, but rather for the good of others and for the purpose of establishing the Kingdom of God here on earth.

My brother was a great favorite with everybody, and his death cast a gloom upon the whole neighborhood.

Real power comes by empowering others.

No one is truly poor but except the one who lacks the truth.

Man is never so authentically himself as when at play.

Shame must be accepted to be effective.
