“This promise from the Lord to His Saints does not imply that we will be exempt from sufferings or trials but that we will be sustained through them and that we will know that it is the Lord who has sustained us.”

Believing, desiring, deciding, and choosing correctly are the simple actions that define an increase in happiness and an increase in the inner assurance that transcends this life.

Yes, brothers and sisters, that internal tranquility that is born of the Spirit and which the Lord gives to His faithful Saints.

Happiness is a condition of the soul. This joyous state comes as a result of righteous living.

It does not matter the circumstances, trials, or challenges that might surround us; an understanding of the doctrine of Christ and His Atonement will be the source of our strength and peace.

Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor and saint, and heard great argument about it and about: but evermore came out by the same door as in I went.

My father was a saint. I’m not.

We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.

When I look up, I see people cashing in. I don’t see heaven or saints or angels. I see people cashing in on every decent impulse and every human tragedy.

I’ll admit I’m not perfect I’m like an angel fallen from grace. I’ve been a sinner and a saint.

The company of the saints helps us to recognize that God never abandons us, so that we can live and bear witness to hope on this earth.

The world needs saints, and all of us, without exception, are called to holiness. We are not afraid!

There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
