Longing

It is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted...it is Jesus who stirs you to do something great with your lives.
Blessed Pope John Paul II

Trust in the Lord

Do not be anxious about your life...Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be giving you besides.  Matthew 6: 25 & 33

With this Jesus turns our focus off of ourselves and onto the Father. There is much to be anxious about—even in the cloister!—but as Christians we are called to seek first the kingdom of God.

Cast all your cares on Christ because he cares for you. 1Peter 5:7
