Beautiful is God!

"Beautiful is God, the Word with God.... He is beautiful in heaven, beautiful on earth; beautiful in the womb, beautiful in his parents' arms, beautiful in his miracles, beautiful in his sufferings; beautiful in inviting to life, beautiful in not worrying about death, beautiful in giving up his life and beautiful in taking it up again; he is beautiful on the Cross, beautiful in the tomb, beautiful in heaven. Listen to the song with understanding, and let not the weakness of the flesh distract your eyes from the splendor of his beauty."

-St. Augustine

Rest in Him

LORD, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. 

I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me.
Rather, I have stilled my soul, hushed it like a weaned child.
Like a weaned child on its mother's lap, so is my soul within me.

(Psalm 131:1-2)

Every Community must be a Community of Love

God is Trinity...He is communion of love, and the family - with all the difference that exists between the 

Mystery of God and His human creature - is an expression thereof which reflects the unfathomable

mystery of God-Love. ... The human family is, in a certain sense, the icon of the Trinity because of the love

between its members and the fruitfulness of that love. 

-Pope Benedict XVI

Where does my heart rest?

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.(Mt. 11:29-30)

Let Us Cultivate Hope and the Desert Will Bloom

 Let us sow goodness and holiness, and we will see barren fields bloom. 

-Bishop William Giaquinta

O Come O Come Emmanuel

O EMMANUEL, God with us, our King and Lawgiver, 

the expected of the nations and their Savior: Come to save us, O Lord our God.

O Come Desired of the Nations

O KING OF THE GENTILES and their desired One, the Cornerstone that makes both one: Come, and deliver man, whom You formed out of the dust of the earth.
