I am oppressed by the uncertainty of my future, but i cherish the lively hope of seeing my dreams fulfilled, because the Lord cannot place thoughts and desires in a person's soul if he does not really intend to fulfill them, to gratify these longings which He alone has caused - St.Pio of Pietrelcina
How often we complain of lifes monotony and emptiness, but as St. Ireneaus has said in God nothing is empty of meaning, nothing without symbolism. So does St. Agustines' restless are our hearts until they rest in Thee".
We are not fully at ease and at peace because we seek peace and ease where its not there.
In all the worlds riches, beauty and majesty.. has it ever been able to really satisfy the heart? ... to really give it rest...... and that peace it seeks?
.....inside each one of us is what the philosopher Blaise Pascal says, a God-sized vacuum that longs to be filled of its emptiness.
And at privileged moments we get a taste of the fullness that we await....
til the time we get to be united to God in eternity.
Lord, i pray that for all those who are seeking that peace, who seek rest, who are troubled, worried, feel restless, feel empty, depressed and lonely... may they realize that .. that emptiness is You, reaching out to us.
A Catholic Donkeys continuing JOURNEY.. Dear Jesus,you have made me be your little donkey. Please don’t leave me and I will stay with You always. Lead me, tightly harnessed by Your grace: You have led me by the halter; make me do Your Will. And so I will love you for ever and ever — The Forge, 381~ ST JOSEMARIA ESCRIVA

FORGIVENESS CORNER
this corner is for those who we want to forgive and those for whom we pray for forgiveness, let us ask Jesus to help us and open our hearts to forgiveness and forgiving. Look at the Cross and tell Jesus, Lord i want to forgive, im finding it hard to do so, help me. I chose to forgive and leave everything in Your loving hands.
