PARADOXICAL

“If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place.” Rainer Maria Rilke

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.” St. Francis of Assisi

Holiness is a gift from God, not something we can ever claim as a result of our own doing. Life is humbling, very humbling. We need a lot of humiliation for a little bit of humility.-HJMN

The heart knows so much more than the mind.

We are called not just to serve the poor, but to be poor. HJMN

People need space. Some recognize it but only a few dare to fill it. We make choices only to realize in the end that it doesn't fit at times. But the best part is we tried and we learn.

Even if we're not wealthy, God has called us to radical generosity. We can share what we do have and be rich in good deeds. If we have a generous attitude about money, we are much more likely to be generous in other matters concerning God' people and His work.

The worst regret we can have in life is not for the wrong things we did, but for the right things we could have done but never did.

Those who think they have arrived have lost their way. HJMN

God will use my weakness for the accomplishment of His work, since the God of might loves to show His power by making use of nothingness. -St Therese

The sand taught me one thing: You can't hold too many things, no matter what you do to make them stay, so learn to let go and choose carefully which you must in every way.
