Jesus is giving you such an opportunity to be holy, holier than all the saints that have ever been, because the world is in such need of shining lives, beacons to see by.

If you're not a thorn in somebody's side, you aren't doing Christianity right.

Those who tell the Truth love you. Those who tell you what you want to hear love themselves.

If you want to be holy, if you seek meaning in your life, start looking into your own life and attacking your pride in all of its many forms. God will give you extraordinary light and the ultimate reward of holiness. For your holiness relies not on what you do, but on what you allow God to do through you. Have courage. God will perfect you.

You can't go to Heaven hating somebody. Forgive now. Be compassionate now. Be patient now. Be grateful now. Love Jesus and Mary now. Accept God's will now.

We did not happen to be--we were chosen by God to exist.

God is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something; we go to give something.
