"Ask
Jesus to make you a saint.
After
all, only He can do that.
Go to confession
regularly
and to Communion as often as you
can."
St. Dominic Savio
"This world is filled
with many vulgar and dishonorable things
that will claw and tear at your
Christian purity if you allow them to.
Don't let them! Seek instead the things
of God. He will
purify you and free you from your slavery to
profane
and inconsequential things." - Patrick
Madrid
“There is no shame so
great that God’s mercy cannot shine forth from its midst. … Jesus is not afraid
to go to the core of our shame to heal us. Sins and secrets do not scare Him.
The serpent causes shame and hiding;
Jesus invites us to mercy
and communion.” ~ Fr Richard
Veras
"I think one of the
central elements of my own discipleship so far has been my pastors’ focus on the
Cross. The way of Jesus is the way
of the cross. It is terribly painful to give up one’s sins and self-will,
to
allow one’s old self to be crucified along with Jesus …
and I have been
very grateful to my pastors who acknowledge how hard
and painful it can be along
this Christian journey. But the way of the cross is also
the way of life and peace.” - Dr Holly Ordway (excerpt - Former Atheist: Christianity
Really Does Make Sense)
"One of the most admirable effects of Holy Communion
is to preserve the soul from sin, and to help those who fall
through weakness to rise again." - St Ignatius of Loyola
