The path I am on is a path that I am still unsure of. All I know for sure is that the Lord loves me very much. For now, that is enough for me.
Lord, give me the grace to allow myself to be surprised by Your love.
Divine Heart of Jesus and Loving Heart of Mary, be with me always.
St. Faustina, persevering in unwavering hope, pray for us.
Jezu ufam Tobie
Lord, thank You for relentlessly pursuing me. You not only meet me in my joys, but also in my sorrows. You meet me where I am as I am. Lord, thank You.
Divine Heart of Jesus and Loving Heart of Mary, be with me always.
Jezu, ufam Tobie.
Remember that the passion of Christ ends always in the joy of the resurrection of Christ, so when you feel in your own heart the suffering of Christ, remember the resurrection has to come. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.
– Blessed Mother Teresa
Divine Heart of Jesus and Loving Heart of Mary, be with me always.
Many times I forget that, praying does not necessarily mean having to recite a set of prayers. But rather, simply just conversing with the Lord. It is getting to know Him and getting to know ourselves through Him.
“To pray is to talk with God. But about what?’ About what? About Him, about yourself: joys, sorrows, successes and failures, noble ambitions, daily worries, weaknesses! And acts of thanksgiving and petitions: and Love and reparation. In a word: to get to know him and to get to know yourself: ‘to get acquainted!’” – St. Josemaria Escriva
Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in You.
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
– Pope Saint John Paul II
“O my Jesus, the misunderstandings are so great; sometimes, were it not for the Eucharist, I would not have the courage to go any further along the way You have marked out for me.”
– St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
Lead Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home-
Lead Though me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene – one step enough for me.I was not ever thus, nor pray’d that Thou
Shouldst lead me on,
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride rules my will; remember not past years.So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.– Blessed John Henry Newman
