Words of Wisdom:

I look for eloquence in words, to express my praise And polysyllable words to express my joy. But though I search for weeks and days, My soul with wonders words can’t trace. Because so wondrous are you, Lord, That all the words of men can never comprehend The majesty of your love, the power of your grace.

Jesus’ Anger:

In His anger Jesus chased the cheating money changers out of the Temple of worship. When we get angry at evil deeds like: cheating, abuse and exploitation of the weak, poor, aged and the like, they are justifiable as we are living the Gospel values. Timidity is a weakness and a sin of omission .

God’s Gifts – To be Used:

Jesus says, “Anyone who is trustworthy in little things, is trustworthy in great.” If we use God’s gifts e.g. talents, time, faith etc more fully for the good of His Kingdom, God will bless us with even more gifts. But, if we are selfish with God’s gifts, we will only find emptiness in our lives.

Does our life become from day to day more painful, more oppressive, more replete with sufferings? Blessed be He a thousand times who desires it so. If life be harder, love makes it also stronger, and only this love, grounded on suffering, can carry the Cross of my Lord, Jesus Christ.

- Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro (1891-1927)

Forgiving is love's revolution against life's unfairness. When we forgive, we ignore the normal laws that strap us to the natural law of getting even and we release ourselves from our own painful pasts.

- Lewis Smedes
