This is your joy

"This is your joy, your unutterable and glorified happiness, that you love Jesus Christ, Whom you have never seen; that you believe in Him, Whom you have never beheld. Your reward will be the salvation of your souls, the eternal inheritance of heaven."

--1 Pet. 1:8

When you come to the edge...

"When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe that one of two things will happen: There will be earth on which to stand or you will be given wings to fly."

--Author unknown

For his feast day

"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Help of Christians
and you will see what miracles are."

--Saint John Bosco

Once again

How nice it is to hear the birds warbling once again,
echoing each others' song back and forth!

Agnes

"I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world."


--Agnes Wickfield in David Copperfield

A cold

For days I've been trying
to keep you away;
And just when I thought
that the coast was clear,
you appear.
You've caught me!
Or rather,
I've caught you.
Achoo!

Wonder

A sense of wonder is
the way of understanding,
with a child's heart,
that all that's true and good
has come from God; and that
the beauty which we see
is but a glimmer of His majesty.
