“Stand in Your Power: When a woman stands in her power and speaks her truth from the heart, it brings balance into the Universe and the opportunity to connect fully with Divine source”

“Our life of contemplation shall retain the following characteristics:—missionary: by going out physically or in spirit in search of souls all over the universe.—contemplative: by gathering the whole universe at the very center of our hearts where the Lord of the universe abides, and allowing the pure water of divine grace to flow plentifully and unceasingly from the source itself, on the whole of his creation.—universal: by praying and contemplating with all and for all, especially with and for the spiritually poorest of the poor.”

“I pulled her to me under the covers, resting her head under my chin. I kissed her head lightly and whispered words of love to her. From now on, I’d tell her how much I loved her every day.”

My sword or my heart?"-willow&bannor-”

“In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.”

“In loving one another through our works we bring an increase of grace and a growth in divine love.”
