Today is Thursday, March 14th, 2013; Karen's Korner #2524

We celebrate today with Roman Catholics across the world in the announcement of a new pope to lead their denomination - Pope Francis.
 
In their honor, I am sharing some quotes from probably the most recognizable Catholic in the last century - Mother Teresa, taken from a perpetual flip calendar titled "Heart of Joy":
 
Christians need to learn to forgive.
How do we learn to forgive?
By knowing that we too need to be forgiven.
 
*
 
Prayer unites us with Christ.
Simply open your hearts to him.
Also, simply accept what he sends you.
With a big smile, generously give him what he asks of you.
God will do the rest,
never fear.
 
*
 
The cross will be for us as it was for Christ:
proof of the greatest love.
 
*
 
Jesus gives me the opportunity to feed him
by feeding those who are hungry;
to clothe him by clothing those who are naked;
to heal him by caring for those who are sick;
and to offer him shelter by housing those who
are homeless and unwanted.
 
*
 
Today more than ever, we need to pray
for the light to know the will of God,
for the love to accept the will of God,
for the way to do the will of God.
