Items No.2 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much
Seek to be consoled, as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned...
St. Francis of Assisi

 

 People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered;
 Forgive them anyway.
 If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
 Be kind anyway.
 If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some    genuine enemies;
 Succeed anyway.
 If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you;
 Be honest and sincere anyway.
 What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight;
 Create anyway.
 If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous;
 Be happy anyway.
 The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
 Do good anyway.
 Give the best you have, and it may never be enough;
 Give your best anyway.
Mother Teresa

" Is God Real? Is God There?

God is like
The wind and air
You can not see it
But you know it's there;
God is-love, peace and life
Through your darkest hours
He is the light;
Though fear and shame
May haunt you too
Gods love will
Be forever with you;
As sure as the wind blows
And you breathe air
You may not see him, but
God is there..."

--- By Joe Stevens Jr.

 
"Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to love & be loved, it is the privilege of the gods.
Take time to look around, it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul."
-- Old English Prayer

"When we die and go to Heaven,
our Maker is not going to say,
"Why didn't you discover the cure for such and such?"
The only thing we're going to be asked at
that precious moment is
"Why didn't you become you? "
-- Wiesel

Faith is to believe what we do not see;
the reward of this faith is to see
what we believe

-- Saint Augustine

 
Why is it when we talk to God
we are said to be praying, and
when God talks to us
we are said to be schizophrenic?

-- Lily Tomlin

 

_______

Grant, Lord, that we might overcome our enemies by transforming them into friends. 
Make them and make us conscious of those deep inward reaches whereby 
every heart is rooted in our world's deep common life.
-- Jewish Prayer

 
Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a confiding thought, a simple movement of heart towards God will renew our powers. 
Whatever He may demand of us, He will give us at the moment the strength and the courage that we need.
-- Francois de la Mothe Fenelon

I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. 
Wait for the Lord with courage; be stout hearted, and wait for the Lord.
