| For me, prayer means launching out of the heart toward God; A cry of grateful love from the crest of joy or the trough of despair; It is a vast, supernatural force that opens out my heart, and binds me close to Jesus. ~Saint Therese of Lisieux |
| I give you my word, if you are ready to believe that you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer, it shall be done for you. ~Jesus, Mark 11:24 |

| Love has a hem to her garment That reaches the very dust. It sweeps the stains From the streets and lanes, And because it can, it must. ~Mother Teresa |

| When I Say I Am A Christian When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting "I am saved." I'm whispering "I was lost"; That is why I chose this way. When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble, And need someone to be my guide. When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak, And pray for strength to carry on. When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed, And cannot ever pay the debt. When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are too visible, But God believes I'm worth it. When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, Which is why I speak His name. When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge. I have no authority; I only know I'm loved. ~Carol S. Wimmer |

| Crimson Promise Come dance with me in the garden of roses ~ I will be your sunshine, your raindrops, your warmth and quenching. Let us have faith in seasons of sorrow For there will always be a brighter tomorrow... Come dance with me in the garden of roses~ Where the crimson promise of eternal hope ever-blooms. Copyright �1994 Heather Jose |
| When In Need of a Friend When in need of a friend look around you, You need never be alone, Many truehearts will surround you, Grown from the seeds you have sown. For every small deed has its blossom That feeds on a smile or a word, or a handclasp that says "I am with you," A message unspoken but heard. ~Edythe Jackman |
| Cherish your vision; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart. The beauty that forms in your mind. The loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built. ~James Allen |

| Christ with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. ~St. Patrick |
