I Will Praise God Forever

On May 17th, 1925, Bl. Sr. Marie Therese of the Child Jesus was graciously added to list of Saints by Pope Pius XI. In his homily, the Holy Father took words that Jesus said to His disciples on who would be the greatest in Heaven, as said by Matthew: “He (Christ) called a child over, placed him in their midst, and said, ‘Amen, I say to you, unless you turn like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.’” But, who was she? Who was St. Therese?
On the 2nd of January, 1873, Marie-François… Continue

Past the moons and past the stars,
In a world so much afar;
Past the the space, a life so dead,
A land unknown there lies ahead.
Past man's own mind and imagination,
There is a Place higher than all nations;
Past the clouds and past the Sun,
Is a Home where everyone lives as one.
Deeper valeys and taller mountains,
Vaster seas, oceans and fountains;
Trees of silver and roads of gold,
A land where chaos shall never unfold.
Crystal lakes and greener lwns,
Talking dulks in cleaner ponds;

How I have changed so much in the world,
Yet I am still too small and weak.
How I have changed so much in the world,

Has never abandoned me.
My childhood Companion, Whom I have hurt so much,
Still loves me.
We two grew side by side,
He helped me in my fears.
And all our secrets we would confide
In our… Continue

My vocation has always been my only love. I've wanted to become a priest for so long, but I've got some serious problems with girls. They keep popping into my mind, and it scares me. I wish it would just stop. I don't want to be married, but then again, it's hard to abandon the idea! I have heard that the book "Theology of The Body For Beginners" is good, but I don't have the book for now. I don't really have money in my allowance right now, since I lent it to my mom, and she can't give it back… Continue

Hello my fellow Salesians. I've had the desire to become a priest most of my life. Ever since I was a small child, I always wondered what kind of person a priest was. When I was twelve, I saw a movie on the life of St. Anthony of Padua. It was an italian version and it greatly inspired me to follow St. Anthony's footsteps and become a, not only a priest, but a holy priest. I had decided to become a Franciscan. I was impatient, though. I really wanted to become a priest quickly. I was also very a… Continue
