Prayer

Mother Teresa says:

Prayer is joy,

prayer is love,

prayer is peace.

You cannot explain it,

you must experience it.

It is not impossible.

God gives it for the asking

"Ask and you shall receive."

The father knows what to give to his children,

how much more the Heavenly Father knows.

St. Maria Goretti

Maria Teresa Goretti, a poor Italian virgin-martyr, is one of youngest canonized saints of the Roman Catholic Church. She died from multiple stab wounds inflicted by her attempted rapist after she refused to submit to him. Maria had forgiven him though on her deathbed.

Beatification ceremonies were held in the Saint Peter's Basilica in 1947 by Pope Pius XII, while the canonization ceremonies were held in the Piazza San Pietro.

Maria is the patron saint of the youth, of chastity, purity, forgiveness and poverty.

Something New

"There are only two things that will change your life: either something new comes into your life, or something new comes out of YOU.     
 
Brendon Burchard 

Tested by Trials?

Bo Sanchez shares that "crisis shapes your character".

When you know that only God can save you, it keeps you humble. It removes your pride. It pushes you to seek God. Trials have a way of bringing you closer to God.

Bounce from your trials. Bounce forward. Bounce Godward!

Who Are You In Five Years?

Who are the people you hang around with the most? Do you realize that in 5 years you will be the average of these people -- 
in income growth and contribution?
