Mark Mcintyre

“By our attentive dedication to the teaching and activity of Jesus as the bringer of God’s reign (Mk 1.14–15), we grow to understand the positive response required from us in terms of metanoia, radical change and renewed belief in the saving power of the Gospel (Mk 1.15).”
― Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Faith Finding a Voice

“We could always entrust our cares and worries to our Lady; however small they may have been in our childhood, we always felt protected by her.”
― Georg Ratzinger, My Brother the Pope

“The stanzas of the Dark Night and The Spiritual Canticle, which were composed in prison,41 give testimony to a rapturous union. Cross and night are the way to heavenly light: that is the joyful message of the cross.”
― Edith Stein, The Science of the Cross

“2 When I look into the future, I am frightened, But why plunge into the future? Only the present moment is precious to me, As the future may never enter my soul at all. It is no longer in my power, To change, correct or add to the past; For neither sages nor prophets could do that. And so, what the past has embraced I must entrust to God. O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire. I desire to use you as best I can. And although I am weak and small, You grant me the grace of Your omnipotence.”
― Maria Faustyna Kowalska, Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul
