“Unless we wish to sink into an obscure mediocrity, let us not long for an easy life, for ‘whoever would save his life will lose it’ (Mt 16:25)” #GaudateEtExsultate
When individuals are close to God, love and desire to serve the Lord, the usual strategy of the devil is to cause them to lose their peace of heart, whereas God, on the contrary, comes to their aid to give them peace.
// Father Jacques Philippe
Wrapped up our Life Teen year yesterday and dang I am so proud of the amazing young people I get to work with and the selfless adults that serve them. V v blessed.
Honestly super over the HGTV shows that portray couples as against one another to stir up drama. Give me more of that Fixer Upper type joy and less of the petty drama.
baby James was sassy with the nurses, pulled out his cannula, and ate more food today than ever before. Everybody says it goes so fast but I was NOT expecting this level of teenager this quick.
“We cannot truly be at peace as long as our hearts have not found their unity and our hearts cannot be unified until all our desires are subordinated to the desire to love God, to please Him and to do His will.” -Fr. Jacques Philippe
