Pope John XXIII, on what is still possible

I love this quote from Pope John XXIII, now saint.  It is so inspiring and motivating. It exhorts us to never give up on our dreams or unfulfilled potential or what is still possible to do.

Mankind and Christmas

Yes, we are all one family in the eyes of the Lord. And this is especially felt at Christmas as we give love to each other. Pope John XXIII said this so nicely.

prayer is raising of the mind to God

Pope John XXIII describe best what is written in our minds or hearts. Most of the time, we do not know how to put words in our prayer. But as Pope John XXIII said, "actual words matter less" as long as we raise our mind to God.,
