Quotes

• “The origins of true courage are always found in humility and surrender.” Alexandria DeSanctis (Evangelization Culture, issue #22) 

• “Courage, courage, my daughters. Remember that God does not give anyone more trials than can be suffered and that his majesty is with the afflicted. For this is certain; there is no reason to fear but to hope in his mercy. He will reveal the whole truth; and some machinations, which the devil kept hidden so as to create a disturbance, will be made known.” St. Teresa of Avila

• “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” Mark Twain

Prayer

Unity Prayer  - Elizabeth Kindleman

My adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together. May our hands gather in unity, may our hearts be in unison, may our souls be in harmony. May our thoughts be as one. May our ears listen to the silence together. May our glances profoundly penetrate each other. May our lips speak to pray to the eternal father.
