The Luminous Mysteries - These mysteries are an amazing way to meditate on the life and specially the ministry of Christ. Though given to the world by Pope St. John Paul II, the mysteries have a lineage to some of the greatest champions of the Holy Rosary. by @catholicwill

To live with faith is to live with purpose. St. Pier Giorgio Frassati reminds us that life is not meant to be a passive drifting or just “getting along.” We are called to hold fast to the truths that give life meaning, to cherish the heritage of faith we have received, and to be unafraid of the daily battles that strengthen our spirit. Struggles are not signs of weakness but opportunities to prove love and conviction. When we stand for truth, we discover that life is more than survival it becomes a journey filled with courage, joy, and eternal hope. by @catholicwill

How do you make time for prayer?

Do you make it a priority? Here’s some food for thought by St. Alphonsus Liguori:

“Whoever prays is certainly saved. He who does not is certainly damned. All the blessed have been saved by prayer; all the damned have been lost through their failure to pray.”

almsgiving and forgiveness, so that what we lose in the flesh we may gain in the spirit. Let us forgive others, that we too may be forgiven, and let us give freely, that we too may receive freely from God’s abundant mercy.

“Dear young people, do not be afraid to dream big. Do not be afraid to give the best of yourselves, to aim high, to be drawn by great ideals, ideals that enlarge the heart and make your life beautiful.”

“Dear young people, we didn’t come into this world to ‘vegetate,’ to take it easy, to make our lives a comfortable couch to fall asleep on. No, we came for another reason: to leave a mark.”

- Pope Francis by @catholicwill
