St Augustine

“Peace is tranquility of order.”

Bishop T.D. Jakes

"You face your greatest opposition when your closest to your biggest miracle."

Blessed Mother Teresa

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action." 

fr everett corvera, corvera everett, everet corvera

Pope St. Gregory the Great

"The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist."

fr everett corvera, corvera everett, everet corvera

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."

St. Agnes

"Christ has made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him Whom the Angels serve."

Thomas á Kempis

"Try to turn your heart from the love of things visible and bring yourself to things invisible. For they who follow their own evil passions stain their consciences and lose the grace of God. "

Shing Xiong says

"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away."

Oswald Chambers says

"One great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul, but prayer puts my soul in command of my body."

A Wise Man as narrated by Jesus

The closer you get to me
the more you will smile

The closer you get to me
the more you will know me

The closer I am to you
you will feel the difference

The more you open up
the universe will be yours

Talk to me, cry to me
it is all the same

Lessons I can teach you
are all abound

The world is busy and screaming at you
but hold on to your faith
and save a piece for me

Life is like a flower
beautifully unfolding
you have to know how to hold it, view it and feel it

Wise men think before they act and speak
They try not to hurt others
They cherish life and all the gifts abound

They turn to me for guidance, security and love
They rest their heads on my shoulder
without the view of the whole world
A wise man is a strong one, however
his worship may be private

Treat others as you wish me to treat you
for I shall

Are you a Wise Man?

Albert Einstein

"Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous."

G.K. Chesterton

"Optimism is the noble temptation to see much in everything."

St Philip Neri

"When the devil has failed in making a man fall, he puts forward all his energies to create distrust between the penitent and the confessor, and so by little and little he gains his end at last."
St Philip Neri

Socrates

“How singular is the thing called pleasure and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it…yet he who pursues either is generally compelled to take the other; their bodies are two but they are joined by the same head.” 

–Socrates

“All that the downtrodden can do is go on hoping. After every disappointment they must find fresh reason for hope.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Prayer

Prayer doesn’t change God – but it changes us.
