Spirit of Fortitude and Vigilance:

Merciful Jesus, you willingly shared in the thick of humanity’s battle against the power of evil. You conquered its works forever by the victory of your Cross. Grant me the Spirit of fortitude and vigilance in the midst of life’s trials, that I may trust and know that your grace is enough for me.

Live – Responsibly:

We are all called to witness to God’s Truth and Love. This is not so “difficult” if our hearts allow God’s strength to sustain us and His Spirit to direct us. Our focus in witnessing should be, “How can we love God more.” To love God is to live responsibly and to witness powerfully.

Joy Unspeakable:


There is a life, though the world comprehends it not. It has a body without defect, want, misery, anger, or death. The Holy Spirit is its air and spirit, and it is filled with love and joy. This life has been from eternity, rising up and blossoming. It is not of this earth, but of another substance—eternal life.

To all you who are in the process of birth: may each of you be strengthened and bud in the life of God, and grow, and bear fruit on the Tree of Paradise—may each branch and twig shelter all the others, that this tree may become a great tree. Then shall we all be filled with joy unspeakable, and glory.
