You become a prayer when you have become a fire of love for God, and at the same time, a fire of love for man. #CatherineDoherty

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. #19thSunOT #Psalm34

I shall open my mouth, and it shall be filled with the Spirit, and I shall sing a hymn of praise to the Mother and Queen; with great joy I shall celebrate and sing her praise. (Acathist Hymn to the Mother of God) #FeastofAssumption Madonna House Apostolate

The glorified body of Our Lady is a sign and symbol of what we hope for. Her Assumption is the prefiguration of what will happen to me if I gain heaven. #CatherineDoherty #FeastoftheAssumption

Every baptized person is also a contemplative, for what is contemplation but unity with the Beloved. #CatherineDoherty

When you love, it is no effort to bring before you the one you love. It is the same with prayer. What can stop me from having the face of my Beloved before my eyes? And what will stop my heart from saying “Jesus, mercy”? #CatherineDoherty

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. #20thSunOT #John6

Mother of God - what awesome words! How could it be that femininity enfolds Divinity? And yet it did. #CatherineDoherty #QueenshipofMary

Just being a Christian is prayer. You are baptized in the death and resurrection of Christ, and it is in baptism that prayer finds its source. It lies like a seed in your heart, opening like a flower as you grow. #CatherineDoherty

Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God. #21stSunOT #John6

Why do we talk of media and technology? Because it is part of the eternal search that love demands, the flaming love that one has for others, love that can never rest...[With some tools] you plough the field to put the seed of the supernatural knowledge. #CatherineDoherty

We are weak, sinful and unimportant. But we must try to live the Gospel with our lives. #CatherineDoherty

The essence of any Christian vocation is to connect ordinary life, seemingly boring in its repetition and constant details, with Love, who is God. #CatherineDoherty

"For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is whenever we call to him?"#22ndSundayOT #Deut4 #MadonnaHousebanner

"The farm is a school of restoration. With the sweat of your brow, with the power of your bodies, with your heart singing and full of reverence for God, you enter the liturgy of nature...and you become one with creation, co-creators with God."#CatherineDoherty #ApostolicFarming

Remain small, weak, depending totally on God. For it's in that weakness, through that weakness, that God comes. #CatherineDoherty

Go to the school of love. Go to the woman who gave birth to perfect Love that casts out fear. Go to the Mother of God, the beloved of the Trinity, the mother of all men and women. #CatherineDoherty #OurLady

"Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?"#James2 #23SundayOT

He who works with the earth from whence he came and to which he will return gets healed of his wounds. He becomes deeply reconciled with God, and walks with Him at eventide while they both look over the creation of their hands. #CatherineDoherty #ApostolicFarming
