"Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow, the same everlasting father who care for you today will take care of you tomorrow and everyday. Either he will shield you from suffering or he will give you unfailing strength to bear it"
-St. Francis De Sales
Great is His Faithfulness; His loving-kindness begins afresh each day. My soul claims the Lord as my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him
-Lamentations 3:23-24 TLB
“It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look."
-St. Francis of Assisi
"You're taking a big step. But as you leave what is familiar to head into the unknown, remember nothing is a surprise to the Lord. He prepared this way for you. He'll go there beside you and he'll meet you when you get there. And the ones who care for you are praying for his hands to guide your every step"

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do."
-Pope John XXIII
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
-Mother Teresa
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
-Mother Teresa
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
-Mother Teresa
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
-Mother Teresa
If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.
