God so loved the world

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." 
(John 3:16-18 ESV)

Thomas a Kempis

"Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Be thankful for the least gift, so shall you be meant to receive greater.
 
Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back. 
 
Remember that lost time does not return.
 
First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
 
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise not blame.
 
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are."
 
Thomas a Kempis

What else do you want?

"What more do you want, o soul! And what else do you search for outside, when within yourself you possess your riches, delights, satisfaction and kingdom -- your beloved whom you desire and seek? Desire him there, adore him there. Do not go in pursuit of him outside yourself. You will only become distracted and you won't find him, or enjoy him more than by seeking him within you."
 
-- Saint John of the Cross

Life is a dream...

"Life is a dream, realize it.

 Life is a challenge, meet it.

 Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is a song, sing it.

 Life is a struggle, accept it.

 Life is life, fight for it."

 

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

''A clean heart is a free heart."

''Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well.''

'' Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing''.

''If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.''

''When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her.
It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.''


Mother Theresa

THE LIGHT (of Jesus' love)

 "Does it appear to you that God has hidden himself, that he has abondoned you?
But I repeat , do not fear: Jesus is with you and you are with him! In darkness, tribulation, anxiety of spirit Jesus is with you. You see nothing but darkness in your spirit , and I assure you on behalf of God that the light of the Lord fills and totally surrounds your spirit. It is a defect of the eye, which cannot yet bear this most pure light. But wait until the eye recovers completely, and then you will certainly see this light. You see yourself in tribulation and God repeats to you throught the mouth of authority: I will be with you in trouble (Ps 91 (90): 15).You belive you are abandoned, and I assure you that Jesus is holding you more tightly than ever to his divine heart."
 
 
 
by Padre Pio
 
 That was written by Padre Pio, a great humble mystic, a man of enormous love, mildness, sympathy, patience and sense of humor. He had some most unusual spiritual gifts ( bilocation, reading in peoples' hearts, visions, stigmata of Christ and intercession prayer)

 The worst prison would be a closed heart
 
 Let me tell you how I understand these words said by one of the greatest Poles ever: Karol Wojtyla (John Paul II).
Once we close our hearts we separate from the outside world. We may have been hurt by others badly so we do not trust anymore and we take on this protection shell. Like a wall around a medieval castle, our mental block divides us from the outside intruders. We want to control what we receive from the outside but as a result we close to many good things too. And the greatest thing we may close to is unconditional love. Life without true love certainly is like a gloomy prison.
We can, however, open up and remain strong inside. How? My favorite Polish poet said: "be as strong and as gentle as a dolphin". The dolphin really is like this and it is so unique in that sense. For me being both strong and gentle  is an ideal combination of traits.

let's...

"Let's hurry up to love the others as they pass away so quickly".
That was written by my favorite Polish poet who passed away just a few days ago. Hey, have you ever wonderd how important it is to really care for others , for your family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors, also strangers? Just to care for everyone you meet? You may either make their lives even a little bit better every time you meet or you may deprive them of the rest of hope they have. How can we care? Is that something naive and shallow? I just think we do care for them when we let them be whatever they are, when we open up our hearts to them by listening to their stories, by not criticising them . It is so important to make enough 'space' in our hearts for them so that they can feel there at home . There is no space for looking  down on anybody. We may look down on some evil we all do more or less often but there should be no place for any agression . Hope and  respect  we give to others are like good soil for a plant. It lets the plant develop to its very best.  What do you think my dear blog readers?
