Pope Leo the Great

“Thoughtful men and women, with hearts craving the truth, have come to seek in the Catholic Church the road which leads with surety to eternal life.

“There is in the Sacred Heart the symbol and express image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ which moves us to love in return.”

“Our Lord came to the aid of each great tribulation with a special devotion. The present and future tribulations of the Church and of nations are greater than at any other period, and this persecution is more dangerous than those of previous times. Hence, the devotion which God sends to the succor of His Church and of the nations at the present time is the devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist. It is the highest of all devotions.”

St Leo the Great

Do not be Afraid. Never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire. Do not be Afraid

I would like to invite each of you to listen careful to God’s voice in your heart. Listen to his voice. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Open your hearts. Open up your hearts to Christ. The deepest joy there is in life is the joy that comes from God and is found in Jesus Christ the son of God. Jesus is the hope of yours. He is my hope. He is the hope of the world.

People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him. True joy is a victory, something which cannot be obtained without a long and difficult struggle. Christ holds the secret of this victory.

Let yourselves be taken over by the light of Christ,
and spread that light wherever you are.

We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures
We are the sum of God’s love for us

Pope St John Paul II
