October 2000 Quotations
"At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how
many diplomas we have received, how much money we
have made or how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by
'I was hungry and you gave me to eat.
I was naked and you clothed me.
I was homeless and you took me in.'
Hungry not only for bread-but hungry for love.
Naked not only for clothing-
but naked of human dignity and respect.
Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks-
but homeless because of rejection.
This is Christ in distressing disguise.
-Mother Teresa

I asked for Prosperity.........
And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.........

I asked for Love.........
And God gave me Troubled people to help.

To fall in love with God
is the greatest of romances;
to seek Him
the greatest adventure
to find Him
the greatest human achievement
-St. Augustine
Lord,
help me to live this day,
Quietly, Easily
to lean upon Thy great strength,
Trustfully, Restfully,
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will,
Patiently, Serenely,
To meet others
Peacefully, Joyously,
To face tomorrow
Confidently, courageously.
-St. Francis
