What would it be like if I didn’t live for myself, for my own pleasure? If I could lose myself in service of others, how happy I would be! If I could care nothing about my own inclinations, I would be free. Lord, I want to be free. Help me to forget myself completely and […]

Cleanse my heart O Lord
Lord, I have been praying this for a while and now I pray it again: Cleanse my heart! Rip out every last vestige of any idol that is there. Break my heart if You will it, if it is what will free me to love You more deeply and serve You more completely. I will not […]
Fall in Love
Attributed to Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ (1907–1991) Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how […]
My vocation is “Beloved”

St. Augustine
Praise the Lord, but praise Him from the very roots of your being, that is, let not only your tongues and voices praise the Lord, but also your consciences, your lives, and all that you do.
The Message
God is near. God is here. God dwells among you. God dwells within you. He is what you long for, hunger for, thirst for. Seek no longer and let yourself be found by the very answer you sought. Be found by Truth. Be held by Love. Be adored by Beauty. Enter God’s presence in you […]
St. Margaret Mary
I ever posses, and take with me everywhere, the God of my heart and the Heart of my God.
2013: Let it be
It’s about to become 2014 in less than half an hour. What will I remember 2013 for? There are so many things to be grateful for. But I am learning to measure all things in terms of how I have been brought closer to God. And from this perspective, the great lesson for me in […]
