Happy Monday!  To start off your week on good footing, here are some faith quotes I have come to deeply appreciate.   Enjoy them along with the day!

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
– St. Francis of Assisi

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
– Mother Teresa

I am not a Christian because God changed my life; I am a Christian because of my convictions about who Jesus Christ is.
– Josh McDowell

I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
– Henry Martyn

And your Irish word for the day: “Misneach” (MISH-nock) whcih means courage, heart, hopefulness, spirit.  It is often used in the context of pushing forward through adversity or uncertainty.  On this Monday, may we all walk in “misneach.”
