All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart

Be faithful in little things, for in them your strength lies. To the good God nothing is little, because He is so great and we are so small.

Who is Jesus to me? Jesus is the Word made Flesh. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Victim offered for our sins on the cross. Jesus is the sacrifice offered at holy Mass for the sins of the world and for mine. Jesus is the Word - to be spoken. Jesus is the Truth - to be told. Jesus is the Way - to be walked. Jesus is the Light - to be lit. Jesus is the Life - to be lived. Jesus is the Love - to be loved

If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean.
