Let nothing disturb you. All things are passing.
If you have God you have everything.
God Alone Suffices
– St Teresa of Avilla
The fact that our heart yearns for something earth cannot supply
is proof that heaven must be our home
– CS Lewis
Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to Him
That is all the doing you have to worry about
– St Frances de Chantal
Faith in the resurrection of Jesus says that there is a future for every human being; the cry for unending life which is a part of the person is indeed answered. God exists: that is the real message of Easter. Anyone who even begins to grasp what this means also knows what it means to be redeemed
– Pope Benedict XVI
.
Let us seal the Doorposts of our thoughts with the holy word of God
just as the Israelites marked the doorposts of their house with the
saving blood of the Lamb. So are we guarded from every enemy
by a constant return to prayer in moments of quiet.
Lord Jesus, you healed the sick in their need. Heal our illness in body, mind and soul as we prepare to celebrate the mystery of your Death and Resurrection. Renew the world by mysteries beyond all telling. We pray that your Church may be guided by your eternal design and not be deprived of your help during these difficult times. We ask this in your name, who lives in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever
and ever Amen. ( Magnificat )
