Faith and love

The goal of all our undertakings should be not so much a task perfectly completed as the accomplishment of the will of God.

For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever. - St. Therese of Lisieux

When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future. - St. Therese of Lisieux

Courage is not freedom from fear. It’s being afraid and going on anyway -- Anonymous

If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it’s not the gospel you believe, but yourself -- Augustine of Hippo

Know what you are doing, and imitate the mystery you celebrate: Model your life on the mystery of the Lord's cross --- From the rite of Ordination of a Priest

Let nothing disturb you;
Let nothing make you afraid;
All things pass;
But God is unchanging,
Patience is enough for everything.
You who have God lack nothing.
God alone is sufficient -- Teresa of Avila
