To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him the greatest human achievement.

How to Trust God
A humble soul does not trust itself, but places all its confidence in God. Saint Faustina ♱⃓♱⃓♱⃓ A great Jesuit named Paul de Jaegher wrote a book called The Virtue of Trust. In it, we read that the more a soul advances in holiness the more trust it needs. This may surprise us at first, but it makes perfect sense because as we grow holier the crosses, inevitably, become heavier. The heavier the cross, the more trust is required. There are three ways to develop trust in God, w

If You Struggle with Lust...
Lust hath these three companions: the first, blindness of understanding; the second, hardness of heart; the third, want of grace. Saint Basil ♱⃓♱⃓♱⃓ Our Lady revealed at Fatima that more souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other sin.

The Mother of Jesus
Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did. Saint Maximilian Kolbe ♱⃓♱⃓♱⃓ When the Blessed Mother arrived at the house of Her cousin, God tells us that it was He, Himself, who spoke through Elizabeth. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women , and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. It should suffice without any other explanation that the Bl
