“Jesus is asleep in the boat. What does that mean? It means that Christ who is the coming together of divinity and humanity, Christ who is divinity come into our humanity, is the place where we can find peace even in the midst of the worst storm” Bishop Robert Barron

“I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.”

Sometimes crying is the holiest thing you can do. Sometimes it’s sleeping. Or cooking for a friend. Or sending a note in the mail. Or listening to someone share how bad their work day was or about how scary the future seems. 

Sometimes sitting in silence - really sitting in that excruciating emotional pain and muttering the words “I don’t understand” and “God, please help me” over and over - sometimes that’s the most intimate and raw and spiritual thing.

Sometimes what we think is the least “holy” is actually so close to the very heart of God.

Do not be afraid to take EVERYTHING to the father.

“Love is always fruitful, the love of God is always fruitful, and if you let the Lord take you and you receive the Lord’s gifts, this will enable you to give them to others. God’s love always go beyond.”

— Pope Francis
