How can there be too many children? That's like saying there are too many flowers. -- Blessed Mother Teresa


Lo, I am Thy servant, ready to obey Thee in all things; for I do not desire to live for myself, but for Thee; O that I could do so after a faithful and perfect manner!
St. Therese, the Little Flower

On Prayer

"To pray does not mean to think about God in contrast to thinking about other things or to spend time with God in contrast to spending time with our family and friends.  Rather, to pray means to think and live our entire life in the presence of God."  Father Steven Peter Tsichlis

Jesus Prayer:  Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

"We pray as we live because we live as we pray.  If we do not want to act habitually according to the Spirit of Christ, neither can we pray habitually in his name."

"Our Father knows what we need before we ask him, but he awaits our petition because the dignity of his children lies in their freedom."
