Two Salesian saints give us practical food for thought as we journey through this life, take a few minutes to reflect on their insights.

“When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.”   [St. Francis de Sales]

“Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others, and talk to God.”

[St. Francis de Sales]

 “St. Margaret Mary Alacoque experienced visions to our Lord in which he held his heart in his hands, extending it to her as a sign of his love and passion…. The spiritual journey … is a honeymoon, where our heavenly Lover runs to meet us, to save us from ourselves, and to make us whole with his love so that we can live together in joy and passion for all eternity.”  [Broken Gods by Gregory Popcak]

May God Be Praised!
