[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The first advice offered by the Holy Spirit is, “Live in the present”. There is no better time for us: now, here and now, is the one and only time to do good, to make our life a gift. Let us live in the present!

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

"When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected." // Pope Francis #LaudatoSiWeek #LaudatoSi6

[Catholic Diocese of Shreveport @dioshpt]

The environment is God's gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor, towards future generations and towards humanity as a whole. (Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate [Charity in Truth], 2009, no. 48) #LaudatoSiWeek

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

The Spirit of God dwells within us and he uses us to speak his words to others. Be aware of the opportunities you have today to convey the Lord’s consolation and guidance to those you meet. Also, be open to hearing how the Lord will speak to your heart through others this day.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Praying is not easy. Each time we want to pray, we think of many other activities that seem more important and urgent. Almost always, after putting off #prayer, we realise that those things were not essential at all. This is how the Enemy deceives us. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Which way should I follow? There are ways that do not lead to Heaven: the ways of worldliness, the ways of self-affirmation, the ways of selfish power. And there is Jesus’ way, the way of humble love, of prayer, of meekness, of trust, of service to others.

Monsignor LaCaze has died and gone to his eternal reward. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
