If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.                If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.                If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.                Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,                doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 13:6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;                bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.                Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

Hide your counsel from such as are jealous of you.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 37:10


You don't have a soul.
You are a Soul.
You have a body.

C.S.Lewis


Islamic missioners also use this, they do not tell women that in the paradise promised by Koran their role will be to serve men copulating with black-eyed virgins (see Surah: 36:55-57, 44,51-54).

They also do not tell millions of islamized Africans and Afroamericans, that, according to Koran, every black-skinned goes to hell and will not be saved, even if he converts to Islam (3:106-107).

Before some black muslim becomes proficient enough in the mekkan dialect of Arabic language to understand the meaning of that racist verse, they can fool the world about the universalism of islam.

After all, Allah himself stands as someone who is plotting tricks and is doing that best of all (Koran 3:54)

Miroslaw Rucki


...and you shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit down abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:

for Yahweh your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

Deuteronomy 23:13-14


It is a lack of instruction in a man to listen at the door; But the prudent man will be grieved with the disgrace.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 21:24


Before fire is the vapor and smoke of a furnace; So revilings before bloodshed.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 22:24


Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?

The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 15:18


For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you; neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

If you find yourself a bit irritated and overwhelmed, it's a sign that you're spending less time with God, and more time with this world.

Conversion is the matter of a moment, sanctification is the work of a lifetime.

St. Josemaria Escriva


www.facebook.com


Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

According to some reference books, "Desiderata" is still sometimes thought to have been 'found' at Old St. Paul's Church in Baltimore and to date back to 1692.


There never was, and never will be a place on earth free from sorrows.

The only sorrow-less place possible is the heart, when Lord is present there.

St. Nikon of Optina


The way of perfection passes by way of the Cross. There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle.68 Spiritual progress entails the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes:

He who climbs never stops going from beginning to beginning, through beginnings that have no end. He never stops desiring what he already knows.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2015


The children of our holy mother the Church rightly hope for the grace of final perseverance and the recompense of God their Father for the good works accomplished with his grace in communion with Jesus. Keeping the same rule of life, believers share the "blessed hope" of those whom the divine mercy gathers into the "holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2016


These differences belong to God's plan, who wills that each receive what he needs from others, and that those endowed with particular "talents" share the benefits with those who need them. These differences encourage and often oblige persons to practice generosity, kindness, and sharing of goods; they foster the mutual enrichment of cultures:

I distribute the virtues quite diversely; I do not give all of them to each person, but some to one, some to others.... I shall give principally charity to one; justice to another; humility to this one, a living faith to that one.... and so I have given many gifts and graces, both spiritual and temporal, with such diversity that I have not given everything to one single person, so that you may be constrained to practice charity towards one another.... I have willed that one should need another and that all should be my ministers in distributing the graces and gifts they have received from me.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1937


I thought that continence arose from one's own powers, which I did not recognize in myself. I was foolish enough not to know . . . that no one can be continent unless you grant it. For you would surely have granted it if my inner groaning had reached your ears and I with firm faith had cast my cares on you

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2520


Desire for true happiness frees man from his immoderate attachment to the goods of this world so that he can find his fulfillment in the vision and beatitude of God. "The promise [of seeing God] surpasses all beatitude.... In Scripture, to see is to possess.... Whoever sees God has obtained all the goods of which he can conceive."

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2548


There will true glory be, where no one will be praised by mistake or flattery; true honor will not be refused to the worthy, nor granted to the unworthy; likewise, no one unworthy will pretend to be worthy, where only those who are worthy will be admitted. There true peace will reign, where no one will experience opposition either from self or others. God himself will be virtue's reward; he gives virtue and has promised to give himself as the best and greatest reward that could exist.... "I shall be their God and they will be my people...." This is also the meaning of the Apostle's words: "So that God may be all in all." God himself will be the goal of our desires; we shall contemplate him without end, love him without surfeit, praise him without weariness. This gift, this state, this act, like eternal life itself, will assuredly be common to all.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2550


We must begin with thanksgiving for everything. The beginning of joy is to be content with your situation.

St. Ambrose of Optina

When handling the higher we are often hypocrisy, flattery, deceit, chelovekougodnichestvo; handling with lower - contempt, pride, arrogance, hubris.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors" (James 2,8-9).

Here is what is written on the subject of St. Seraphim of Sarov in the life of it. A special feature of his manners and conversation were the love and humility. No matter who comes to him, whether poor or rich man in rags in bright clothing, what man would not come to the needs, in whatever sinful state nor was his conscience, he kissed all with love, all bowed to the ground and blessing, he kissed the hands of even the uninitiated people.

Daily, at numerous meetings aliens in Sarov had happened in his cell about two thousand people or more. He is not burdened with all this and still found time to talk to the benefit of the soul. In a few words he explained to everyone that it was meet for him, revealing the innermost thoughts often turned to him. All felt it blagoprivetlivuyu, true love and her mate force, and a flood of tears sometimes escaped even those people who have a hard and petrified heart.

The Most Holy Virgin, in these last days in which we are living, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary. So much so that there is no problem, however difficult, temporal or above all spiritual, connected with the personal life of each of us, of our families, of the families of the world, of religious communities, or indeed with the life of peoples and nations — there is no problem, I say, no matter how difficult, which we cannot be resolved through the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves, we will sanctify ourselves, we will console our Savior and obtain the salvation of many souls.

Saint Ephrem of Syria

St. Nilus of Sinai


Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent. There are two things: sin and repentance.

St. John Chrysostom


Inexpressible is the soul’s delight when in full assurance of salvation it leaves the body, stripping it off as though it were a garment. Because it is now attaining what it hopes for, it puts off the body painlessly, going in peace to meet the radiant and joyful angel that comes down for it, and traveling with him unimpeded through the air, totally unharmed by the evil spirits. Rising with joy, courage and thanksgiving, it comes in adoration before the Creator, and is allotted its place among those akin to it and equal to it in virtue, until the universal resurrection.

======================== Mother Teresa ============================

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Mother Teresa

No matter who is saying what about you - accept it with a smile and keep doing your job.

Mother Teresa

If you can not feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Mother Teresa

======================== Father Bosko ============================

Only good deeds are true wealth, which is preparing a place for us in Heaven. In addition to prayer, which must always accompany us, we have to do many good deeds. Without them we'll waste our lives.

Father Bosko

Good deeds. To do good deeds, you need courage. Willingness to endure, never to humiliate anyone, to always be gentle. Do good to all, and don't do evil to anyone. At the end of life the fruits of good deeds get gathered.

Father Bosko

Lets trust in God and march forward. With God, every bird that feels the branch is swaying, continues to sing, because it knows that there are wings.

Father Bosko

Spiritual exercises (recollections). Spiritual exercises are nothing but a series of teachings and meditation to encourage people to friendship with God.

Father Bosko

Life. Our life is very short. We must do as many good deeds as possible, before we die. This world - as a theatrical act: passes away very quickly.

Father Bosko

Habit. Avoid any bad habits - we have to get used to do good and only good. Our body is insatiable: the more we give it, the more it demands, the less we give it, the less it demands.

Father Bosko

Theft. Other people's things have to be for us like fire.

Father Bosko

I equally accept both praise and condemnation. If people are praising me, they are saying what person I should be; if they scold me, they are saying what person I am. Regarding other people, I either say good or keep quiet.

Father Bosko

To call yourself a Christian, but to not live as a Christian is a disgusting hypocrisy.

Father Bosko

He who is lazy during his life will be crying at at the hour of his death.

Father Bosko

Who is not in peace with God, is neither in the peace with himself nor with others.

Father Bosko

We must never miss an opportunity that God gives us to do good.

Father Bosko

Complainings cool heart. Complainings are one of the greatest epidemics in public life.

Father Bosko

You will rest in heaven. We will not go to Heaven, thanks to a luxurious life. Heaven will pay for everything.

Father Bosko

Eyes are the windows through which the devil brings in the sin into our hearts.

Father Bosko

Frugality for the sake of big love. Save on everything, but give the ill ones all they need. Always repeat, that the day during which there is no mason, mechanic, electrician or any other worker in your house, - is a golden day.

Father Bosko

Do not justify your bad habits - you better get rid of them.

Father Bosko

Evil people are courageous because good people are afraid of them. Be brave, and you will see that evil people will lower their wings.

Father Bosko

The proud man is always dishonest.

Father Bosko

Your speach and behavior may always be tactful. Delicacy in your words and behavior will make others your friends.

Father Bosko

Do your best in what you have to do. Do everything as well as possible today, so that you don't have to blush with shame tomorrow.

Father Bosko
