11 SHORT INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES
2. "And thou, my soul, each time that thou hast sinned mortally thou hast indeed been as an executioner, nailing to the Cross the Son of God! Thus St. Paul describes sinners as "crucifying again to themselves the Son of God." [Heb. vi, 6] "Hebrews 6:1- who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who then turn away from God.God.It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame". - Catholictradition.org
3. One of the reasons why we do not live in a good life or a life of humility is because we do not fear the justice of God.We feel there is no way we will be condemned to Hell by Divine justice. Look at a criminal, how humbly he stands before the judge, with lowered eyes, pallid face and bowed head: he knows that he has been convicted of atrocious crimes; he knows that thereby he has merited capital punishment, and may justly be condemned to the gallows, and hence he fears, and his fear keeps him humble, chasing from his brain all thought of ambition and vain-glory.And this holy fear which is the beginning of wisdom will also be the beginning of true humility; for, as the inspired Word says, humility and wisdom are inseparable companions: "Where humility is, there also is wisdom." [Prov. xi, 2] - Catholictradition.org
4. A tree does not fall while bending under its own weight, and this must be attributed to the strength of its support; and in the same way if I have not fallen into every kind of iniquity, it must not be attributed to my own inherent virtue but only to Divine grace, which by its goodness has supported me. Therefore how can I esteem myself more than another whilst we are all equal in human weakness? - Catholictradition.org
5. "Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant".- Galatians 1:10. Be a good person but do not waste time to prove it.St. Augustine instructs me: " Whether it be little or whether it be great, it cannot be done without Him without Whom nothing can be done." - Catholictradition.org
6. John 2:23-24 - Many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew them all people. Come to Christ because you love Him not for things.
7. Don't trust everything you see, even salt looks like sugar.
8. Solomon had enjoyed all of the sensual pleasures of the world. Ecc. 2:10.Yet these worldly pleasures left him disappointed and dissatisfied. v. 11; 6:7.The soul of man was originally created to find infinite satisfaction in the love of the Creator.
9. As the Creator and Sustainer of all that is, God has the power to suspend natural laws in order to fulfill His purposes.
10. Contentment is a great gain. You can never have enough of everything. The only one who can satisfy the human heart is the one who made it.
11. God gave Noah the revelation to build the ark but He did not build it, Noah did. But the good news is when you take the step, God will accomplish it.
