Any honorable task you do during the day can be offered to God. Even the littlest things. Everything you do can be sanctified.

Practice the presence of God. Treat your work as a calling from God. And make everything you do something beautiful for God.

We need to say to God in every circumstance, “Not my will, but thy will be done.”
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) September 2, 2014
We only love God as much as we love those around us. We can’t pretend to love the God we don’t see, if we don’t love the neighbor we can see
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) September 2, 2014
Where there is no love, we need to put love. Where there is no justice, we need to promote human dignity and human rights.

#Holiness does not mean separating ourselves from the world. Holiness means loving God and loving our neighbor in the middle of the world.

#Faith is not a life-style “accessory,” something we “put on” on Sundays and then put back in the closet for the rest of the week.

Our world today needs #saints. Not “other-worldly” saints — but saints in our cities, our families, our parishes, our businesses.

Our world won’t be converted by words and programs. Only by #saints!

We have to live by #StTherese's little way of love. And our love has to be a love of humble service.
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) October 1, 2014
The #KingdomofGod is a culture of life, joy & freedom. Joy in God’s creation. Freedom in accepting God’s gift of life & living to share it.
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) October 8, 2014
We have to do little things w/ love. We have to be humble to accept that most of the good we do will be hidden, except in the eyes of God.
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) October 1, 2014
The human person is sacred & created in the image of God. That is why we fight for the rights of the person from conception to natural death
— Archbishop Gomez (@ArchbishopGomez) October 3, 2014
We are not born alone & we don’t live our faith alone. So we have to resist that temptation to make our faith something that is only private
