Growing grudges?…garnering gratitude!
Antagonist?…”accepting” attitude!
Legalistic?…little more latitude!
Solution?….seeking silent solitude!
Christ connectedness?…calming certitude!

Trust in God’s plan
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure. In order to preserve it there is nothing more useful than renouncing your own will and substituting for it the will of the divine heart. In this way his will can carry out for us whatever contributes to his glory, and we will be happy to be his subjects and to trust entirely in him.” -St Margaret Mary Alacoque
Allow Christ to guide you up the mountain. He knows what you can handle, but he wants you to reach the heights and lead many others there by your example!
God bless,

Pray the rosary
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it.” St. John Paul II
Coming from a Saint, with Doctoral degrees in both Philosophy and Theology, this says a lot! To Jesus through Mary!
God bless,

Wisdom comes through suffering
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“His grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.” J.R.R. Tolkien
My 90 year old mom has buried two husbands, one son, 2 brothers and one sister, (along with 3 miscarriages). She has suffered various physical pains most of her life, and with her super sensitive heart, she feels everything more intensely than most. But her faith is unflappable and her love for God is indomitable…and her spoken words are usually chock full of wisdom and deep insight. Thank you, mom, for your joyful acceptance of God’s loving plan!
God bless,
