How many times have you approached God honestly, deeply and truly; Asking for nothing, but received everything. Had everything to hide, but hid nothing. Said not a word, but spoke endlessly. Never opened your eyes, but saw eternity… How many times have you approached your Maker; not as who you want to be, not as who you wish you were, not as who you think you are, not as who you ought to be; But just as you are, with all the dirt that covered you, when He first fell in love with you.

I don’t know what this picture has to do with anything, but I love the caption

The tongue that receives Our Lord in the Eucharist can become the same tongue used to reject others. It is a great sacrilege.

The greatest factor in your ability to hear God’s voice is your ability to believe God loves you enough to speak to you on a moment by moment basis.

Let’s throw out or complicated ‘prophetic formulas’ and teach relationship.

We need to stop cloaking the ugliness of abortion with misnomers like “proper medical coverage” or “choice.” It’s violence of the most intimate sort, and it needs to end.

When you see this post, reblog and say a Hail Mary for the end of abortion.
