Where most men work for degrees after their names, we work for one before our names: Saint.

You want to do something for the Lord...do it. Whatever you feel needs to be done, even though youre shaking in your boots, youre scared to death -- take the first step forward. The grace comes with that one step and you get the grace as you step. Being afraid is not a problem; its doing nothing when you feel afraid.

God keeps the entire Universe in order, and still finds time to take a personal interest in you and me.

I guess that is what dying must be like; to be finished and to be able to look back at the struggles of life, and know that God was your constant companion.

God wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.

Holiness is not for wimps and the cross is not negotiable, sweetheart, it's a requirement.

We are all called to be great saints, don't miss the opportunity.
