Growing In Love

God knows how hard it is to suffer. But he has created us to love. Our hearts are made for him. We can only grow in this life by recognizing him and loving him more.

I AM for LIFE...It takes courage...

It takes courage
to stand-up for the Truth.

It takes courage
to defend the Good.

It takes courage
to defend LIFE.

Life is precious.
Life is gift.
Life is from God.

I pray for courage
to defend LIFE
as freely given to all
from conception to natural death.
Life created by God.

that genius which belongs to women...

"The frenetic pace of modern life can lead to an obscuring or even a loss of what is truly human... Perhaps more than in other periods of history, our time is in need of that genius which belongs to women, and which can ensure sensitivity for human beings in every circumstance."

- Blessed (Pope) John Paul II

The gift of silence...

God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen.
And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be....
- Mother Teresa
