We can't understand our calling and our vocation until we listen to the Lord... until we look upon the Lord... until we realize who it is that we're really serving. Are we serving God? Or the world?

We must not become so preoccupied looking for "major" miracles that we miss all the daily ones.

You don't become a saint by comparing yourself to a sinner.

Many of us want to know why we don't "hear" God when we pray. Few of us shut up long enough to really listen.

We often talk about how we are God's "hands and feet," which is true. That being said, we can't fall into the trap of thinking God needs us like we need Him. He's God - which makes the reality that He wants to use us and be in relationship with us an even sweeter, more profound truth.

Sometimes we forget that sin really is optional.

When we get ashes we are not publicly proclaiming our greatness, but God’s. We are not saying, 'look at how great I am,' but 'ask me about how great my God is!'
