Prayer intentions

by

Finally, as one Systems Designer to another….
I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me. –St. Teresa of Avila Do you pray for growth in that particular virtue that is preventing you from being more Christ-like?

Envy

by 

Jettison jealousy…right away!                                                                      
Eliminate envy…why delay?                                                                              
Lethal leaches…leading hearts astray!                                                            
Sapping souls…exponential decay!                                                                     
Jesus, just Jesus…follow HIS way,                                                                           
Don’t descend…into Satan’s squeeze play!

Leaving our comfort zone

by

“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”― C.S. Lewis


God wants all of us to soar to the heights, leaving our comfort zone, trusting that his grace will be more than enough!

Adoration

by

“How pleasing to our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is the short quarter of an hour that we steal from our occupations, from something of no use, to come and pray to Him, to visit Him, to console Him.” (Saint John Vianney)

Hard training

by

“Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis
  Training hard for a marathon translates into a better time and generally a little less pain during the “wall” period of the race. Pray and discipline your passions, and then virtues tend to shine a little brighter…
