Enjoy More Fully Your God Given Gift Of Life

To enjoy more fully your God given gift of life, with care, humility, and openness of heart read from the bible every day. In baby steps or considerable portions reflect in thought or write on new discoveries and revelations. Polish and rejoice in what you already know. Share the lessons, wisdom, and morals out loud and by example with others. Fine tune daily the imperfect words that part from your lips. Routinely practice with your developing holy insight and witness your inner spirit grow. Each day the virtuous attitudes you shape and the moral and upright choices you make in the face of fear, in the presence of normalcy and in the company of the awe and wondrous works of the Lord are what make the God given gift of life a blessing to more fully behold.

Journey With The Saints

"For the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name." Mary attributes nothing to her own merits. She refers all her greatness to the gift of the one whose essence is power and whose nature is greatness, for he fills with greatness and strength the small and the weak who believe in him.

St. Bede the Venerable

He was ordained when thirty, devoting himself to the study of Scripture and to teaching and writing. He is considered one of the most learned men of his time and a major influence on English literature. In 1899, was declared the only English doctor of the Church. He died in Wearmouth-Jarrow on May 25. His feast day is May 25th.

I Said A Prayer For You Today

I Said A Prayer For You Today

I said a prayer for you today and I know God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn’t mind),
I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He’d be near you at the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.

-Frank J. Zamboni

Inspirations

Journey with the Saints

With mind entire, faith firm, courage undaunted, love thorough, let us be ready for whatever God wills.

St. Bede the Venerable

The couage the counts with God is that type of courage which our Lord showed in the Garden of Olives: On the one hand, a natural desire to turn away from suffering; on the other, in anguish of soul the willing acceptance of the chalice which his Father had sent him.

St. Therese of Lisieux

I firmly believe, and in this I find joy, thta God guides those who give themselves up to his leading and that he takes care of the least things that concern him.

St. Claude de la Colombiere

Journey With The Saints

Our home is not the one we live in at present, which serves only as a temporary dwelling; our home is eternity.

St. Alphonsus Liguori

I am every day more convinced that happiness in heaven is for those who know how to be happy on earth.

St. Josemaria Escriva

As the Lord's sheep, let us set out for those pastures where we shall keep joyful festival with so many of our fellow citizens . . . Let us stir up our hearts, rekindle our faith, and longneagerly for what heaven has in store for us.

St. Gregory the Great

Journey with the Saints

God did not tell us to follow him because he needed our help, but because he knew that loving him would make us whole.

St. Irenaeus

What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when he caresses us, and to be cold immediately when he afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus love themselves too much to love God with all their heart.

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.

Brother Lawrence

If we love God above all things, then the little streams of our lawful affections will lose themselves in the divine wellspring.

St. Madelein Sophie Barat

Journey with the Saints

"Let your prayer be completely simple, for both the publican and the prodigal son were reconciled to God by a single phrase . . . do no launch out into long discussions that fritter away your mind in efforts for eloquence . . . A single word full of faith save the good thief.

St. John Climacus

"It gives more praise to God and more delight if we pray steadfast in love, trusting his goodness, clinging to him by grace, than if we ask for everything our thoughts can name . . . The best prayer is to rest in the goodness of God.

Julian of Norwich

"Anyone who has not begun to pray, I beg, for love of the Lord, not to miss so great a blessing. There is no place here for fear, but only desire.

St. Teresa of Avila

Journey With the Saints

"Resolve from now on to keep heaven before your mind, to be ready to forego everything that can hinder you or cause you to stray on your journey there."

St. Francis de Sales

"It is not said, "May the joy of thy Lord enter into thee," but "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord," which is a proof that the joy will be greater than we can conceive. We shall enter into a great sea of divine and eternal joy, which will fill us within and without, and surround us on all sides."

St. Robert Bellarmine

"The country in which I live is not my native country; that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings."

St. Therese of Lisieux

I confess that I am bewildred and lose myself at the thought of the divine goodness, a sea without shore and fathomless, of God who calls me to an eternal rest after such short and tiny labors - summons and calls me to heaven, to that supreme Good that I sought negligently, and promsies me the fruit of those tears that I sowed so sparingly.

St. Aloysius Gonzaga

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI FOR LENT

"Dear brothers and sisters, Lent culminates in the Paschal Triduum, in which this year, too, we shall celebrate divine justice – the fullness of charity, gift, salvation. May this penitential season be for every Christian a time of authentic conversion and intense knowledge of the mystery of Christ, who came to fulfill every justice. With these sentiments, I cordially impart to all of you my Apostolic Blessing.

From the Vatican, 30 October 2009

POPE JOHN PAUL II: WORDS TO LIVE BY

If we wish to welcome the Lord, we are called to conversion. This is the path put before us, the path that enables us to follow Christ in order to live as he did, sons and daughters in the Son.

Homily at the Sports Palace in the Complex of the Olympic Center of Athens, May 5, 2001

Look today to John the Baptist, an enduring model of fidelity to God and his law. John prepared the way for Christ by the testimony of his word and his life. Imitate him with docile and trusting generosity.

Homily at Chayka, Airport, Kiev, Ukraine, June 24, 2001

It is important that the faithful, especially the young, be equipped to deal critically with the advertising which is a ubiquitous part of life today. This means they must be given a clear sense of the human and Christian values which are fundamental to the Catholic understanding of human life.

Apostolic Exhortation: On the Church in Oceania, November 22, 2001

Pope John Paul II: Words to Live By

Without the spiritual nourishment that the body and blood of Christ gives us human love is always tainted by selfishness. On the other hand, communion with the Bread of Heaven converts hearts and instills in them the capacity to love as Jesus loved us.

Angelus Address, June 17, 2001

Christians must feel compelled to take the initiative and to reach out to their brothers and sisters where they live and work; wherever it is possible to listen together to the one word of salvation-the word of God-wich is more indispensable than bread for everyone's life.

Homily at the Pastoral visit to the Roman Parish of St. Raymond Nonnatus February 21, 1999

It is every believer's duty to take part in building up society, putting himself at the service of his brothers and sisters through the service for the common good. By his work, which enables him to meet his needs and those of his family, he also shares in developing and perfecting creation.

Address to the Bishops' Conference of France, February 1, 1997

Counting Our Blessings

We have all been blessed with many talents, capable bodies and minds to accomplish great things. We all possess a gift from God, a heart that is alive, and is being nourished by our attitudes, exercise and food. Take care of your special heart for it supports your body, the temple, insist on moving it to improve strength and body functions, and nourish your blood and veins with food that promotes optimal health. Listen to spirit filled music that is motivating, read inspirational books, and open the bible to obtain words to live by. The end result: A healthy mind and praiseworthy attitude. What a gift!

A tale of blessings!

Good hearts and their good deeds are everywhere and their admirable works must be recognized so as to initiate change among us. Take a few minutes and share a story about a blessing bestowed on you or that which you’ve witnessed for others. Send your story to Godinsight4me@yahoo.com

By your own good works you will bless others and your reward is greater than recognition. “[But] take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. Matthew 6:1-4.

Leap up from your seat and go out and be a blessing to someone today!
