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

• 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~

So times seem to be tough for a lot of us out there, but have no fear for the Lord is here. I recently went through a surgery that I felt was going to help me a lot. I am personally afraid of going under for any type of procedure, so I prayed that everything would be ok; and I am still here. I want to personally thank all those who kept me and continue to keep me in their prayers...THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have come to realize that prayer is more powerful than I ever imagined and I would like to share a little story (God moment) with you. A couple of weeks ago I was at the lloyd center doing a little shopping, after I left and had done my shopping at the dollar tree I had realized that I had lost my phone. So the employees there helped me look for it to no avail. I prayed and prayed that I would find it. After praying, something told me to go back to Ross, where I had been previously, so I did. I approached one of their security guards and told him that I had lost my phone, what it looked like and that I could really use his help. He radioed it in and w/in a matter of a minute a cashier handed him my phone. I was so overjoyed that my prayers had been answered w/in only minutes. Thanks B2 God!! I just wanted to share that w/all of you. I have learned from not only that experience, but others as well, that no matter the situation, place or time of day; God will answer your prayers, just believe, trust, and know he is there to watch out for us. My experiences have been so AWESOME I want to share them all, however I can not so instead I give back to those who are in a state of more than I am.? Remember:

"For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope at the end. And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you. And I will be there, when you have gone after me w/all your heart. I will be near you again, says the Lord, and your fate will be changed, and I will get you together from all the nations and from all the places where I had sent you away, says the Lord; and I will take you back again to the place from which I sent you away." JEREMIAH 29:11

I have faith, so keep on believing and you will see His Love.

"O my God! I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your Divine Son became man and died for sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived." AN ACT OF FAITH
