We adore Thee most holy Lord Jesus Christ, here in all Thy Churches, which are in the whole world, because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

Blessed is the servant who esteems himself no more highly when he is praised and exalted by people than when he is considered worthless, foolish, and to be despised; since what a man is before God, that he is and nothing more.

For it is in giving that we receive.
