Prayers for the Feast of All Saints Day - 1 November 

God our Father, source of all holiness

the work of Your hands is manifest in Your saints,

the beauty of Your truth is reflected in their faith,

May we who aspire to have part in their joy

be filled with the spirit that blessed their lives,

so that having shared their faith on earth 

may we also know their peace in your kingdom.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Small things...

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies

Mother Teresa

Greatest Poverty

          We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Mother Teresa

Missing drop...

We ourselves feel that what we are doing 

is just a drop in the ocean. 

But the ocean would be less 

because of that missing drop.

~Mother Teresa~

It's Up to You!

It may be easier to give up

than it is to keep going

It may be easier to say

It's someone else's fault

than to take the blame yourself

It may be easier to make excuses

than to offer apologies

but there's no guarantee that

the easy way through life

is the best way

Make your travels through time worthwhile

Choose the roads that allow you

opportunities to grow and change

Look for adventures that challenge

your abilities

and find mysteries in life

that excite your sense of wonder

Search for the truths that you believe in

and discover as many secrets about life

as you can

Journey one day at a time

Today....

How precious it is, and how full of possibilities.

How sad it would be to waste it worrying about

the future, and how wrong it would be to spend 

it dwelling on problems from the past.

Today... is here. Today is now.

Today is filled with as much magic as you want

to give it. Today is filled with amazing grace

waiting for you to live it.

I am as I am

   

                                     I will not pretend to be anyone but me - 

                                                          I am as I am
