God's calling

God's being all-powerful is simply a definition of God - limitless. But God's power is never mere force. It is the relentless but gentle pursuit of the human heart, never intruding, but always calling.

From Believing in Jesus

Faith flourishes in the dark

Trials, temptations, spiritual dryness and suffering are all opportunities for our faith to grow stronger. We can, of course, neglect these opportunities and allow our faith to wither and die. But those who praise God in life's difficulties will experience the opposite effect.

From "Real Women, Real Saints"

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the loveliest thing in God's eyes.

Servant of God John the Gardener

We are all equal

There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Discover the sacred

Turn us into Magi, God. Boot us out of the familiar into the Holy City. Send us to the place where you dwell. As we leave the ordinary we discover the sacred, finding our heart's delight hidden in the midst of your world.
