Do We Really Know How To Love?

"I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’ Ask yourself, ‘How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?’ Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery."— Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta,

Good Morning, It's Time 4 Breakfast: Through Jesus To Holiness.

"We must all grow in a clear conviction of our duty to be holy as Jesus is holy. Holiness is one of the most beautiful gifts a human heart can offer to God. We should serve Jesus in his poor by doing for them the things we would like to do for him. This is where sanctity is hidden for us: In knowing Jesus, in loving Jesus, and in serving Jesus in the people around us. If we do this, we will become professionals in holiness."— Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Follow Jesus And Live!

"God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through Him the world is to be saved." - John 3:17 - By immersing ourselves in Jesus we come to the heart of God, we see the presence of God in action, curing the sick, loving the sinner. We also see in Jesus, then, what we must be if we are to come to the wholeness of life.

Check Yourself.

Jesus said, "Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?" - Luke 6:41. - In every conflict I am in, I have something to do both with starting it and resolving it. Until I am willing to examine my part in the problem, I have no right to criticize the other.

Nightcap: Be Still, God Speaks!

God speaks silently, God speaks in your heart; if your heart is noisy, chattering, you will not hear. - Caryll Houselander

Breakfast: Let Us Pray.

I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers to God make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those effects down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives. - Peter Kreeft

Nightcap: Love and Kindness.

Heavenly Father, we might be shocked if your Son came back today and attracted people who live differently from the way we live. Give me the grace to be accepting of all whom you have created in love. Help me to love the way Jesus loves so I can treat people with love and kindness. I ask this in Jesus's name. Amen.-from Stories of Jesus
