Humble Heroes

"No sword of their own won the land; no arm of their own brought them victory. It was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your face: for You loved them"(Psalm 44). The humble and holy ones overcome the powers of evil, because they rely not upon themselves but upon the grace of God. They are humble and realize their need for God. For, no sheer act of will can make a man a hero; only humble cooperation with God's grace can do this. Ask God to make you a saint. He will!

St. Teresa Tells Us About Our True Friend

The following is a brief excerpt from the writings of Saint Teresa of Avila:

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend. … Unlike our friends in the world, He will never abandon us when we are troubled or distressed. Blessed is the one who truly loves him and always keeps him near.
