The health of civilization is inseparable from the health of the Church’s interior life. If we notice an increase of decay in society, it is an indication of increased decay within the Church. To reverse the trend, we must examine and root it out beginning with ourselves.

We will continue to struggle in our mission or perhaps to even discover it, if the water in our well is dry. The apostles who were ordained to spread the gospel, preached with little fruit to show until their 10 day retreat before Pentecost. If they required such attention to the interior life after living so close to Christ, how much more do we?

A preacher endowed with learning but of only mediocre piety may be able to paint a picture of Christian Truth that will stir souls, bring them a little closer to God, even increase their faith. But if one is to fill souls with the life-giving savor of virtue, he must first have tasted the true spirit of the Gospel and made it enter into the substance of his own life by means of mental prayer. -Jean-Baptiste Chautard

When we ask God to change our circumstances to bring us more comfort, we should be thankful when He does not grant this request. To grant this would be to strengthen the hold this world has on our hearts. Preventing us from moving on to the better world that awaits us.

St. Frances Cabrini faced rejection for being too frail from poor health. Yet she went on to found 67 institutions and became the first American citizen-saint. Her life reminds us that when we trust God with our weaknesses, He can build something magnificent through us. 🧵👇

Cabrini showed us how the interior life is the fuel for all the work we do for God. The deeper our union with Him, the more abundant His grace will be able to flow. St. Frances Cabrini's life reminds us that God will do great things through us, if we only make room for Him.

My mother and stepfather were told to keep the wedding small because “the Church doesn’t like to make too big a deal out of these things.” - In reference to their valid marriage after having their previous marriages properly annulled. So what in the world are we doing here?!
