Christian martyrs of various confessions – how many there have been in these recent years! – form a single starry sky, guiding our way as we journey through the deserts of history. We have the same goal: all of us are called to the fullness of communion in God.
"One of the great difficulties we encounter in hearing God’s voice and thus being able to bear fruit are distractions. Quietly but awfully efficiently, distractions keep us from remaining in Him."
Fr. Luis Casasus

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Mt 11: 28-30

“Renew your faith by attending Holy Mass. Keep your mind focused on the mystery that is unfolding before your eyes. In your mind’s eye transport yourself to Calvary and meditate on the Victim who offers Himself to Divine Justice, paying the price of your redemption.”
– Padre Pio
“We must always have courage, and if some spiritual languor comes upon us, let us run to the feet of Jesus in the blessed sacrament, and let us place ourselves in the midst of the heavenly perfumes and we will undoubtedly regain our strength.”
- St Padre Pio

“All your ways may be straight in your own eyes,
but it is the LORD who weighs hearts.
To do what is right and justb
is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.”
