Catholic Saints

Let us pray, let us always pray in the serenity of our faith and with tranquility of soul.

Do not be in doubt about receiving divine assistance, and do not lean on yourself to deal with these multiple afflictions that constantly surround you.

Let your whole life be spent in self-surrender, in prayer, in work, in humility, in giving thanks to our good God.

Clare often called herself the “little plant of St. Francis.” And while St. Francis may have helped start her growth, she certainly did most of the growing and spreading on her own.

Francis was holding on to existence by a thread, and the San Damiano cross was his lifeline to his future.

We live in a hurting world. Suffering overwhelms people. We are not removed from that reality.
