How very beautiful and consoling our faith is! For the little work we do here on earth it promises in return all the joys of assured happiness.

O Jesus, my Divine Saviour, I offer You my mind and heart. Direct their movements while I pray, so that I may offer my prayer in union with Your Immaculate Mother.

Jesus, I live for Thee, I labor for Thee, I desire only Thee. Thou in me and I in Thee; Thou with me and I with Thee; Thou all mine and I all Thine.

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

God alone and the desire of His glory - nothing else matters.

Preach by example of your lives rather than by words. Example is the very best sermon.
