I had no tears to shed nor a prayer for the deceased... There is no hope for the hopeless.

It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you Ned what good is it to wear a crown

Whether you teach or live in the cloister or nurse the sick whether you are in religion or out of it married or single no matter who you are or what you are you are called to the summit of perfection you are called to a deep interior life perhaps even to mystical prayer and to pass the fruits of your contemplation on to others. And if you cannot do so by word then by example.Yet if this sublime fire of infused love burns in your soul it will inevitably send forth throughout the Church and the world an influence more tremendous than could be estimated by the radius reached by words or by example.

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment to love my Lord my God with all my heart. I dont want the reputation that I love God I dont want to write songs about loving God I dont want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and its real.

Prayer for LoveThank You Creator of the Universe for the gift of Life you have given meThank You for giving me everything that I have ever neededThank You for the opportunity to experience this beautiful body and this wonderful mindThank You for living inside me with all Your Love and Your pure and boundless Spiritwith Your warm and radiating Light.Thank You for using my words for using my eyes for using my heart to share your love wherever I go.I love You just the way you are and because I am your creation I love myself just the way I am.Help me to keep the Love and the Peace in my Heart and to make that Love a new way of life that I may live in Love the rest of my life.Amen.

We must pray in order to grow and we must grow because Infinite Love will not cannot settle for less than the greatest joy of which his beloved creature is capable.

He had no idea that he never went out of the house without her blessing going with him too hovering like a little echo of finished love round that once dear head

To live pray. To learn read. To love give. To listen pay attention. But to be wise apply all that you have acquired

So take a breath and find what is unsolved in your heart.Breathe in patience breathe in love.Love yourself bountiful.And send that love out to others.When you send love out from the bountifulness of your own love it reaches other people.This love is the deepest power of prayer.

He was humbled by her infinite love toward him - it shone through even in his afterlife.
