“When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.” ~ Dalai Lama

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

I'm starting a new church.
Our mission statement is simply this: Don't be horrible to people.
Don't treat them as less worthy of love, respect, dignity, joy, and opportunity than you are.
I hope it catches on with Evangelicals.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us not be content, like the people in the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5-19), to admire the beautiful stones of the temple, while failing to recognize God’s true temple, the human person, especially the poor, in whose face, in whose wounds, we encounter Jesus. #WorldDayOfThePoor

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We point a finger and correct others often but why is it so hard to correct ourselves? No one's perfect. Admit your faults and start correcting them today.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us always remain close to our brothers and sisters in martyred Ukraine. Close in prayer and with concrete solidarity. Peace is possible! Let us not resign ourselves to war.

[The Secret @thesecret]

The key to absolute freedom and joy for each and every one of us is to let go of fear.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We've all been hurt & learnt painful lessons. But each time, we pick ourselves up & move on with quiet confidence. This is what beautiful patience is about. It doesn’t complain, knowing the Almighty’s in full control of everything. Relief will come soon.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Confide in the Almighty when you want something badly. There’s no need to tell others. One of the best ways to do it is to talk to Him when the world sleeps; in the depths of the night, away from distractions of the waking hours. Ask from your heart. Sincerely.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Holy Spirit is a wellspring of unity. His fire burns away worldly desires and kindles in our lives the warm and compassionate love with which Jesus loves us, so that we in turn can love one another like that.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Christian joy is contagious because the Gospel makes us go beyond ourselves to share the beauty of God’s love. We cannot keep Christian joy to ourselves. It multiplies once we start spreading it.

[The Secret @thesecret]

Pure love has no conditions or boundaries. Love does not hold back. Love gives all the time and asks for nothing in return.

[The Secret @thesecret]

Sometimes the Universe moves things away to allow other wonderful things to appear. Change is always, always good.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The habit of reviewing one’s own life forms the outlook, sharpens it, enables it to notice the small miracles that the good Lord accomplishes for us every day. #Discernment #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us #PrayTogether for all those who have lost their lives due to the violent flooding that has hit #Nigeria, and for all those affected by this devastating calamity. May our solidarity, and the support of the international community, not be lacking.

“When we Christians behave badly, or fail to behave well, we are making Christianity unbelievable to the outside world.” - C.S. Lewis
