O my God, teach me to be generous_x000D_ to serve you as you deserve to be served_x000D_ to give without counting the cost_x000D_ to fight without fear of being wounded_x000D_ to work without seeking rest_x000D_ and to spend myself without expecting any reward_x000D_ but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will._x000D_ Amen

Discouragement is not from God.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISES whereby to conquer oneself, and order one's life, without being influenced in one's decision by any inordinate affection.

If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.
