Inspirational Quotes: 1. A marriage may be
made in heaven, but the maintenance must be done on earth.

2. Devoting a little of
yourself to everything means committing a great deal of yourself to nothing. (Michael LeBoeuf)
3. To know the will of God is
the greatest knowledge, to find the will of God is the greatest discovery, and to do the
will of God is the greatest achievement. (Arnold H. Glasow)
4. Kind words can be short and
easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
(Mother
Teresa)
Choose Life… “A great prayer for
life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special
initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and
lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from
every family and from the heart of every believer.”
(Pope
John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, n. 100)
