We are what we are, and life is what it is, but God is bigger than any cross we bear

I used to think, that when my old inner demons started creeping back into my life, that it was a sign of failure or moral weakness. But the saints have shown me that part of the human condition is to struggle with the same sins and suffering over and over again. Once I accepted the fact that I’d probably always have to be on guard against spiritual attacks related to food and my weight, I began to really recover.

We are beautiful because we are sons and daughters of God, not because we look a certain way.

our crosses are our rights. ... Because life is not about me, because this world is not my home, because I'm tired of defending myself, and because the God of the universe is my Defender.

We have it in our head that if we fill our stomachs, we’ll fill our hearts.

We clean our plates, yet we’re still famished—starving for something other than food.
