Words of Jesus

And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Mark 16:15-16

For us to reach God, Christ is the way; but Christ is on the Cross, and to climb up to the Cross, we must have our hearts free, not tied to earthly things. For our Lord said, "Whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple."

— St Josemaria Escriva

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful, faithful, hopeful and seeking to love as You love me – unconditionally is how I wake today. Concerned but not anxious, aware but not worrying, and doubtful but not fearful is how I think; confident in Your will is how I feel. For I not what I am without You, and I feel what I am becoming in and with You; and it is the thought of being and walking without You that makes me anxious, worry and fearful. I do not, cannot and will not let go of Your hand and I will continue to pray and ask You bless me indeed and that You will enlarge my territory, and that Your hand would be with me and my love ones to keep us from evil and me from causing any pain; but most of all that Your will be done in and through me. For I know that everything under the sun passes away, but anything which is rooted in You will last and be passed on. So I stay focused on being open; listening, watching and preparing to do Your will. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

1 Peter 5:5-14<http://www.ewtn.com/vbible/search.asp?abbr=_1Pet&ch=5&bv1=5&ev1=14>

5 Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you. 7 Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you. 8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
