Do Not Be Worried About Your Life... | Your Quote of the Day (Matthew 6: 25-27)

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single h our to his life?” (Matthew 6:25-27) #prayhopedontworry #qotd#LiveLikeNoOneElse

Where Evil Draws Its Power | Your Quote of the Day + Reflection

Today's quote of the day is taken from the Catholic Apolos apologetics group. 

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI hit the nail right on the head with this point. 

It's such a simple, practical lesson and that is what really boggles me about the spiritual life.  

Maybe most of us haven't yet realised it yet, or maybe we knew about this but have forgotten. 

Either way, mustn't take this lightly. 

Have you ever read C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters?  

If you haven't, you should. You MUST. 

Here is a quote:

It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. 

― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

As you can see, it's in the little things like indecision and concern for what others think that evil has the most power. 

Don't forget this. 

Apply this to every moment of your life.

Everyday is a spiritual battle from the moment we awaken. 

Fight the good fight with holy decisions and concern for what our Lord will think.

True Greatness | Your Quote of the Day + Reflection

I always struggle with myself about what it takes to reach the same level of sanctity as the saints we read about. 

For as long as I've known this after hearing talk many talks from Catholic speakers and from priests sermons, I constantly have to remind myself that there is no secret at all in being holy. 

There isn't any magical fairy dust that changes you in an instant. 

If there was a secret- 

the only secret about it is that their greatness is in simplicity- 

and it is in the quote you see above. 

"True greatness of the soul is in loving God and in humility." 

Who said this? Jesus. 

Actually, it was the baby Jesus who said this to St. Faustina. 

Faustina asked the baby Jesus how He could know this since He was not yet old enough to read. 

He replied, "I know; I know all things." 

Then, he disappeared. 

I was reading this in the pews of the St. Fidelis Friary chapel after the 12:10 PM Mass, and it gave me chills. I get chills everytime I think about it. 

The things is, Jesus didn't even give Faustina a road map with check points and this and that, etc. 

Our Lord just says 

"True great of the soul is in loving God loving God and in humility."
