“Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”

Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?”

“For great is the might of the Lord; but by the humble he is glorified.”

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he heard my cry”

There is a reality to which God has called us that is not dependent upon our goods but on the preparation of our souls.
