Give Me Strength to Trust

I recently spoke with a priest, telling him that I found myself lacking in trust of God - I am too afraid to let go. I told him that I like to write in my journal, that it helps me feel better.

Living the Adventure

As the hot sun beats down upon us, lush 9 foot corn stalks breathe out their earthy, green scent, and humongous humidity make me wonder if rural Illinois should be called the biggest-corn-growing-jungle-of-the-world, I am trying to wrap my mind around the fact that a new school year and all of winte...

Therefore, be more concerned with keeping yourselves in the state of grace in order to meet death ... (www.catholic365.com)

To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price. This price is knowing God and loving Him enough to do His will. - He will always give us the strength we need.

At the age of 20, nothing but communion can keep one's heart pure. Chastity is not possible without the Eucharist. – St Philip Neri: (1515 – 1595: An Italian Pri... (www.catholic365.com)

You can sacrifice and not love. But you cannot love and not sacrifice.

Before loading up with our “cross”, the first thing we must do is to follow Christ. It is not a matter of first suffering and then following Christ... Christ must be followed from our Love, and from there we can then understand the sacrifice, the personal negation: «For whoever chooses to save his l... (www.catholic365.com)
