Resist your resentment. When you see rioters or racists (both of whom are destroyers) you see people who need to be STOPPED, but you, Christian, need to see more. See people in need of the Gospel. Don’t curse them. Pray for them. Cut through the noise with the name of Jesus.

Amen to that pearl of wisdom from St Bridget!

"Abandon yourself into the hands of Mary. ~~ She will take care of you."

"Place all your trust in the ♡ heart of Jesus. ~~ Never abandon your faith and renew it always. Faith has never abandoned any man, and far less so will it forsake a soul that yearns to know God."

"If you should fall, be humble, make a resolution to be submissive to God's will and then get up and carry on."

"Life without God is worse than death."
