“Do you wish to learn the secret of true Eucharistic prayer? Consider, then, all the mysteries in the light of the Blessed Sacrament. It is a divine prism through which they can all be studied. The Holy Eucharist is, indeed, 'Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today, and the same forever' (Heb 13:8). In this Sacrament He glorifies all the mysteries of His life and prolongs, as it were, the exercise of all His virtues. The Eucharist is, in a word, the great Mystery of our faith to which all Catholic truths lead” LightTodayJesusWishChristPrayerSecretForeverVirtueMysteryDivineExerciseHolyJesus ChristCatholicBlessedYesterdaySacramentsGlorifyEucharistBlessed SacramentPrismsEucharisticHoly EucharistYesterday And Today Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like. v One could wish no easier death than that of Socrates, calmly discussing philosophy with his friends; one could fear nothing worse than that of Jesus, dying in torment, among the insults, the mockery, the curses of the whole nation. In the midst of these terrible sufferings, Jesus prays for his cruel murderers. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a philosopher, the life and death of Christ are those of a God.” PeopleIfsEnoughPhilosophyWholeSufferingJesusNationsWishEasyChristTeachDyingPrayingTerribleEasierPhilosopherCurseInsultLife And DeathMidstSay AnythingTormentMurdererMockeryDiscussingFear NotFear Nothing Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“In the story of the good Samaritan, Jesus not only teaches us to help people in need; more deeply, he teaches us that we cannot identify who “has it”, who is “in” with God, who is “blessed”, by looking at exteriors of any sort. That is a matter of the heart. There alone the kingdom of the heavens and human kingdoms great and small are knit together. Draw any cultural or social line you wish, and God will find his way beyond it.” PeopleWayNeedsHumansHeartMatterHelpingStoriesTogetherJesusHeavenWishSocialLinesTeachDrawsBlessedGods WillKingdomsExteriorMatters Of The HeartSamaritans Author:Dallas Willard
“God would not make me wish for something impossible and so, in spite of my littleness, I can aim at being a saint. It is impossible for me to grow bigger, so I put up with myself as I am, with all my countless faults. But I will look for some means of going to heaven by a little way which is very short and very straight, a little way that is quite new[...] It is your arms, Jesus, which are the lift to carry me to heaven, And so there is no need for me to grow up. In fact, just the opposite: I must stay little and become less and less.” WayNeedsLooksMeanLittlesI CanFactsJesusHeavenWishGrowsGrowing UpImpossibleArmsOppositesBiggerAimFaultsSaintLiftsSpiteGoing To Heaven Author:Therese of Lisieux
“The sign of the cross is the most terrible weapon against the devil. Thus the Church wishes not only that we have it continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost Jesus Christ, but also that we should make it at every juncture ourselves: when we go to bed, when we awaken during the night, when we get up, when we begin any action, and, above all, when we are tempted.” ShouldMindSoulActionNightJesusWishChristChurchFrontsTerribleCostBedWeaponsDevilJesus ChristCrossesGet UpRecallsTemptedJuncture Author:John Vianney

“If you really wish to follow Christ, if you want your love for him to grow and last, then you must be faithful to prayer. It is the key to the vitality of your life in Christ. Without prayer, your faith and love will die. If you are constant in daily prayer and in the Sunday celebration of Mass, your love for Jesus will increase. And your heart will know deep joy and peace, such as the world could never give.” IfsKnowsWorldWantGivingHeartLastsJoyDiesJesusWishGrowsChristPrayerKeysMassAnd LoveIncreaseConstantFaithfulSundayCelebrationVitalityBeing FaithfulFaith And LoveDaily Prayer Book:Pope John Paul II in My Own Words Source: Pope John Paul II in My Own Words
