God is our refuge
and our strength.
An ever present help
in times of trouble.

"No virtue, my daughter, can have life in itself except through charity, and humility, which is the foster-mother and nurse of charity."

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I love Thee and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Thy will.
“I am a nobody, I am a small rope, a tiny ladder, the tail end, a leaf.”
São Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin
"In the evening of this life, I shall appear before you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is blemished in your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in your own justice and to receive from your love the eternal possession of yourself."
"Our actions are our own;
their consequences belong to Heaven."
St. Francis of Assisi
