Pray without Ceasing

That is not enough, my son! That is not enough, because love cannot be reduced to the indispensable minimum; love demands the maximum! Do you think that I could practice charity if I did not ask Jesus every day to fill my heart with His love? Do you think that…

The End of All Human Actions and Affections Is the Love of God

(from “Jesus Appeals to the World” by Father Lorenzo Sales, I.M.C.) The most that a creature can give Him is already His, and He can ask for it back, even to life itself. But not so with love; here on earth, the creature is free to refuse it. But God…

To Unite Our Crosses to Jesus’ and Mary’s

“Blessed Lady, if I imitate your humility, I will be protected against temptations to pride. If I take on your purity, no impurity will tempt me. And so, with every other virtue you display. Help me to cover myself in the spiritual armor of God!” –Dr. Paul Thigpen, “A Year…

“Let us not lose a moment of suffering, for one cannot love without it.”

A letter from Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque to Sister Félice-Madeleine de la Barge (on January 5, 1689): I am satisfied, most beloved dear Sister, that we should write to each other, provided that we speak only of love and the cross. For the only thing I can say to you…

The Wounds of the Savior

Our Crucified Lord

(Jesus, in private revelation given to Maria Valtorta on February 20, 1944) All those who so desire, who ask the Lord God to make them ‘saviors,’ must properly consider that Mary and I are the model and that those are the tortures to be shared in so as to save.…

The Most Perfect Consecration

Assumption of Mary stained glass window

From “True Devotion to Mary” by Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort: All our perfection consists in being conformed, united, and consecrated to Jesus Christ; and therefore the most perfect of all devotions is, without any doubt, that which the most perfectly conforms, unites, and consecrates us to Jesus Christ. Now,…

The Transformation into Love

Divine Mercy Image

An excerpt from “One Heart Full of Love” by Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta: Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts. It cost Jesus to love us. He even died for us. Now it is our turn to love one another as Jesus…

To give oneself to God

Mother Most Pure

(from the book “The Gift of Oneself” by Father Joseph Schryvers) To give oneself to God is to forget self, to deposit in the Heart of Jesus all preoccupation, all solicitude, and the thousand perplexities of daily life; it is to confide to Him all one’s interests, charging Him to…

The Opportunity for Reparation

Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

Seeing Jesus with the crown of thorns on His head… He doesn’t take it off In His life, He never said, “Begone, suffering!” But rather, “Begone, Satan!” So when we choose the infernal father of lies and a life of pleasure and sin, Jesus reveals the Father of Mercy and…
