Thought:
If chastity were easy, it wouldn't be a virtue.
And really, that goes for any of the virtues.

To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances;
to seek Him, the greatest adventure;
to find Him, the greatest human achievement.
Saint Augustine
About Me
- Lioness
- I'm a Catholic girl trying to live a life of faith, beauty, hope, and love in a world lost in darkness. I am very imperfect, and rely on God's infinite mercy and patience as He continues to mold and form me (sometimes painfully) into the woman He wishes me to become. I am like a baby learning how to talk, trying to form with my own lips the words Christ said in prayer: Not my will, but Thine, be done. I still have a long way to go in learning to speak this His language, yet with Mary's help -- she who spoke it most perfectly of all creatures -- I will persevere. For to speak God's language fluently is to be a saint, which is the calling of every single one of us.
Behold the Heart which
has so loved men
I adore Thee, O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, inflame my heart with the divine love with which Thine Own is all on fire.
to Our Lady.
Pray for us, Saint Brigid of Kildare, that the ancient fire you and your sisters tended for centuries will burn in our hearts also, as the fire of love for God and His Church.
Saint John Bosco, pray for us and for parish priests!
"Jesus treated sinners with a kindness and affection that caused some to be shocked, others to be scandalized, and still others to hope for God’s mercy. And so He bade us to be gentle and humble of heart."
Saint Thérèse, Little Flower of God, pray for us, that we, too, will burn with the desire to make God loved everywhere throughout the world, by every human heart;
and teach us to live as you did, in complete childlike trust and abandonment to Jesus.
"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 stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself."
"You, Lord, will descend to my nothingness and transform that nothingness into living fire."
O Saint Kateri Tekakwitha,
We thank God for your heroic courage, constant perseverance, passionate purity, and deep love for our Crucified Lord.
Pray for us that our love for Christ may deepen, and that we may imitate you in following God's will even when difficulties arise. Amen.
Flower of the Algonquins and
Lily of the Mohawks, pray for us!
{Her name is pronounced:
Gah-deh-ree Deh-gah-gwee-tah}
Pray for our Holy Father
Pope Benedict XVI
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your shepherd, the Pope, a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build Your Church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
We love you, Papa Benedetto!
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Gone too soon...
You are beautiful, no matter what they say. We love and miss you, Michael. Your work for God has only just begun.
"Love lives forever."

"When I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul. But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not recognize love! They treat Me as a dead object."
~ Our Lord to St. Maria Faustina
"The world of fairy tale, fantasy, and myth is inimical to the secular world and in total opposition to it, for it is interested not in limited laboratory proofs, but in truth."
~ Madeleine L'Engle
"It is no use to believe in God if your cosmology is no better than that of an atheist. With such theistic belief comes a whole other world of spirits, beneficial, benign, and sometimes harmful."
~ Arturo Vasquez
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
~ Saint Francis of Assisi
