Bread of Life

Prayer...

Prayer is, in the strictest sense, a humble religious petition of man to God to seek divine benevolence and benefits he needs for life, both temporal and eternal. It is a conversation with God, either by accepted prayer forms, or from the heart. Consider these words as if God were speaking them to His children...

"It is not necessary my child, to know much in order to please me much; it is enough that you love me fervently. Speak here to me then, as you would speak to your most intimate friend, to your mother, to your brother."

~God your Father~

He Gave His Only Son

"Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

John 21:29

Quotes to Live By

There should be less talk. A preaching point is not a meeting point.

The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise.

In the West there is loneliness, which I call the leprosy of the West. In many ways it is worse than our poor in Calcutta. (Commonweal, Dec 19, 1997)

It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.

The poor give us much more than we give them. They're such strong people, living day to day with no food. and they never curse, never complain. We don't have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.

I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?

I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

~Mother Teresa~

Turning to God When Emotions Falter

by Kelsey McKay

Are there times in our lives that we must turn the other cheek? It seems that way. Jesus reminds us that in order to be loved, we also must love in return. So that means turning the cheek when the time calls for it.

Our lives are filled with so many emotions on a daily basis that it seems hard to keep track of them all, but there's really no need to do so. You see, all we need to do is have faith and trust in the Lord, and He will guide us in the direction we need to go.

Jesus reminds us that in order to be loved....

...we also must love in return..

Some of us struggle, yes, but that's no reason to give up. We all find ourselves emotionally dragging at times, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I see it and you can too. Just trust in God to keep the light bright for y ou.

Just trust in God to ...

...keep the light bright for you.

It's not a game, but something to be taken into consideration. God is here and He's here to stay.

Listen and you shall hear, you shall see and then you'll understand. Please, allow God to direct you on your spiritual journey.
