For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs That never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’

“We love” – actively, positively, without looking for a reward or paycheck – because [Jesus] first loved us. Be blessed day 23

So long as you are empowered by the Holy Spirit to offer yourself as a living sacrifice to God through Christ so long you may know that the offering is holy and acceptable. Day 3, the Spiritled Woman

“Why don’t you remove that picture altogether, and not be giving practicing and collapsed Catholics palpitations in their secret hearts?” sez I. – p. 213, A Monk Swimming, Malachi McCourt

I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed to me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.

Before they call I will answer while they are still speaking I will hear.

The just shall live be faith.

The God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

Why shut the door? To leave behind

The workings of thy natural mind –

Discouragement, self-pity blind –

God’s light with those thou canst not find.

Enter thy secret place, and more –

Shut to the door, shut to the door.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, NKIV
