God Speaks

Here are some of the things he has been saying to me repeatedly, lately. 

"Be who God meant you to be and 

you will set the world on fire." 

- St. Catherine of Sienna

"Don't ask what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. 

Because what  

the world needs is people who have come alive." 

- Howard Thurman

All Things Are Changing. God Alone is Changeless.

A temptation in awaiting the Kingdom is to despair of the times of trial through which we must pass. But in the words of St. Theresa of Jesus, “all things pass,” only God remains. Nothing we suffer will remain as the Kingdom approaches. And yet all these “trials” are the most valuable and powerful means to bring about the Kingdom in our own souls and in the lives of others, especially in those who wander. Use the tools of the Kingdom: Suffer trials with faith, and respond with a love that gives them an eternal value. May we never lose a moment in which to merit graces and build the Kingdom that comes. In the end, only what we have done for God and for our brothers and sisters remains. 

A brief reflection from a recent daily Regnum Christi email (above)....

Let nothing disturb you.

Let nothing frighten you.

All things are changing.

God alone is changeless.

Patience attains the good.

One who has God lacks nothing.

God alone fills all our needs. 

- St. Teresa of Avila
