To grow in Holiness, to mature in being the Portrait of our Lord, we must live in His Presence Constantly! We are created to hunger and thirst for God and there is nothing of this world that can satiate this desire! "Our hearts are restless until they rest in God!" When we pursue things of this world, May we ALWAYS remember that we are left empty and often with the ashes of disillusionment in our mouth! When this occurs we see our Lord and Savior beckoning us to the absurdity of the cross! In the company of our Lord, in the midst of difficulties and suffering we are United With our God! Our eyes are opened and we begin to see the "Glory of the Cross"! The cross is the way to paradise but ONLY if borne willingly! Love and prayers! ✝️
