FAITH

MY HOPE

In Christ alone, my hope is found.

In Mary, His mother, my requests land on fertile ground.

With her love, for all her Son’s people

She brings to Him, the pleas of all the feeble.

She brings to Him our requests that find favor

And asks that He grant them for all who labor

Here on earth seeking heaven’s gates

Guarded by Peter, founder of the Church, Earth seems to hate.

In MARY alone I find Jesus Christ, incarnate.

In MARY’S womb alone I find God made flesh.

In MARY’S heart alone I find the sword of Simeon’s prophecy.

In MARY’S soul alone, I find the Mother and Nurturer and Bearer and Lover of Jesus Christ, who is GOD.

I’d say there is much hope to be found in Mary, because God willed Himself to be found in Her from all eternity, and She said yes.

WHO IS THIS BABY JESUS?

HATRED FOR SIN

Jesus, let my hate of sin not be from fear of hell but love of you.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

LIKE THE SHEPHERDS OF BETLEHEM, LET US ADORE HIM AND GIVE HIM OUR HEARTS SO THAT HE MAY SET UP HIS ABODE IN THEM.

CHRISTMAS EVE

MARY IMMACULATE, MOTHER OF JESUS, HELP US WALK THE WAY THAT LEADS US TO YOUR SON.

DO YOU BELEIVE THAT HER SON'S COMING INTO THE WORLD CHANGED EVERTHING, AND STILL DOES?

THE LORD'S MERCY

THE WEARY WORLD WILL ONLY RECJOICE IN CHRIST

THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

THE CHRISTMAS CRIB

DO NOT FORGET TO PUT ON THE CHRISTMAS CRIB AT HOME.

LEST WE FORGET

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” (Matt 5:13-16)

POWER OF MY GOD

PRAYERS

If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more;
 and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them

A SECOND THOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS

Our King does not have a crown of gold; He has a crown of thorns. He is born in a manger in a lowly place on the edge of an Empire of which He is the Ruler.

Infact He is the ruler of the whole universe.

MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN TODAY - HOW?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Enter into yourself, O my soul, and seriously weigh what it means to lose God.
St. Anthony Mary Claret

JESUS IS OUR LEADER

I AM AN INNKEEPER

MARY IMMACULATE

Such was Mary, that her life is an example for all. Have then before your eyes, as an image, the virginity and life of Mary from whom as from a mirror shines forth the brightness of chastity and the form of virtue.

St. Ambrose, (De Virginib. L. ii., c. ii.)

LAST JUDGEMENT

"For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first.Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.”

- 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-17

SEVER THOSE TIES

BURN YOUR SHIPS

"When the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés 

arrived on the shores of Mexico in 1519, he 

discovered that he was up against a powerful 

empire. With 600 men and a few horses and 

canons he was to face the Aztecs, a vast empire

 whose capital was larger than any city in Spain,

 and whose  religious festivals saw tens of 

thousands of human lives sacrificed in a weekend.

His men were justifiably terrified. They wanted to

 hop back in their ships and sail home.

So Cortés burned the ships.    

 There was really no possibility of turning back. 

We need to have this same mentality when faced 

with the temptation to go back to the old life. Are 

there sins that still hold allure to you? You need to

sever those ties! If you find yourself looking back 

with fondness for some sin, say a prayer that God 

will give you grace to strengthen your resolve, that

you may walk in the light of life.

GENUFLECTION

Be a Catholic: When you kneel before an altar, do it in such a way that others may be able to recognize that you know before whom you kneel.

STAND UP AND BE COUNTED THESE DAYS

If you happen to be eating  in a restaurant, do you feel ashamed to say your prayer before setting down to eat?

CHRIST, CHRIST AND ALWAYS CHRIST

“ Having more of this world never fulfills. Only more of Christ does. ”

HOW TO BECOME A SAINT

APOSTOLATE FOR GOD

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of christians would go to heaven.

St. John Vianney

FAITH AND TRUST

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.

God holds the world in His hand, yet still sees such small details.

PRIDE VERSUS HUMILITY

JESUS LOVES US

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that 

whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal 

life." – John 3:16

TO BE A CHRISTIAN IS A SOURCE OF JOY

Many people perceive Christianity as something institutional — rather than as an encounter with Christ — which explains why they don’t see it as a source of joy.
“
— Pope Benedict XVI

THE BEATY OF A SOUL

GOD'S MERCY

"Do not be surprised that you fall every day; do not give up, but stand your ground courageously. And assuredly, the angel who guards you will honour your patience." - St. John Climacus

"And even if the sins of soul are as dark as night, when the sinner turns to My mercy he gives Me the greatest praise and is the glory of My Passion." – Our Lord to Saint Faustina

GIFT OF LIFE

TEMPTATIONS

The devil only tempts those souls that wish 

to abandon sin

 and those that are in a state of grace. The others belong to

 him; he has no need to tempt them.

 —St. Jean Vianney, the Curé of Ars  

PRAYER

We must take great care never to do anything before having said our morning prayers…The devil once declared that if he could have the first moment of the day, he was sure of all the rest.

— St. John Vianney

THINK NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

DEATH

DEATH IS ONE THING THAT MAN CANNOT ESCAPE.

IT IS SURE TO COME

WHEN, NO ONE KNOWS

AND

IT IS ONLY ONCE THAT WE DIE.

SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT DAY.

HOLY SOULS

Let us commend to Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother the Holy Souls in Purgatory, in particular those of our relatives, benefactors, friends, and enemies; especially those for whom we are bound to pray; and let us offer our prayers for them, pondering over the great sufferings which these spouses of Christ endure.

JOY

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy.
— 
Pope Paul VI

ACTION IS WHAT MATTERS

Of what use is it to make the Sign of the Cross upon your 

body if the Sign of the Cross is not upon your heart?

God does not want us to simply make pictures of His signs,

but to act upon them.

— St Augustine, On Psalm 50:1

HOW TO FOLLOW JESUS

The throne of grace is the cross on which Jesus sits to dispense graces and mercy to all who come to him. 
But we must quickly have recourse to him, if we would find seasonable aid for our salvation: for there will come a time perhaps when we shall no longer be able to find it. 
Let us go quickly then and embrace the cross of Jesus Christ, and let us go with great confidence. 
Let us not be frightened by the sight of our miseries; in Jesus crucified we shall find all riches, all grace.”

St. Alphonsus Liguori
