Get money — but stop once in a while to figure what it is costing you to get it. No man gets it without giving something in return. The wise man gives his labor and ability. The fool gives his life.

JSM Mission-Faith Statement
Help create a Catholic Community that welcomes all God’s People, provides for & challenges spiritual & total growth
Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged & make the world we live in a better place to live
Ecclesiastes 1: For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart with which he has labored under the sun?
Colossians 3: For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.
Luke 12: “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
Never fear periods of darkness in life. They are the atrium to new phases of life, the threshold to new experience, the invitation to move on from where you are to where there is more for you to learn.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
