“The Atonement has practical, personal, everyday value; apply it in your life. It can be activated with so simple a beginning as prayer.”

I know what I did and how I accomplished it. I am proud of it and know that it was done with integrity.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF THE SPIRIT Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.

Most of what we acquire materially is found to not be worth what we must pay spiritually.

I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future.

One of the adversary’s sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.

It gets tiring, doing the same thing everyday.

It’s precisely the people who are considered the least ‘likely’ leaders who end up inspiring others the most.

That overflowing feeling became love. But I don’t sing for Ren’s sake. I sing for myself everyday.

Are you living everyday so that even if the end were to come you’d have to regrets?

Really, most of us just focus on what’s in front of us. We’re too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.

How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life? Throw out the concept of “spiritual life” and “everyday life.” There is only life, undivided and whole.

Nostalgia doesn’t make sense, because it’s like bringing the memories back to be a special part of my day or to be part of my week. And I’m inside my memories the same way I’m inside my everyday life.

A man, engaged in his simple reflections in everyday life, will comprehend neither the possibility, nor the benefits of self-sacrifice, but, when given (“qu’on lui donne”, Fr.) a great cause to defend, and he will find only natural to sacrifice oneself for it.
