The virtue of chastity
Face to face
“I admire machinery as much is any man, and am as thankful to it as any man can be for what it does for us. But it will never be a substitute for the face of a man, with his soul in it, encouraging another man to be brave and true.” Charles Dickens

Trusting in God’s plan
Good sense of humor
“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour.” Charles Dickens
But the joke needs to be funny for everyone…

Promoting positivity
No “perfect” families
“Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families.” Charles Dickens
There is no “perfect” family…but as long as there is faith, a strong marriage and sacrificial love, kids tend to turn out just fine.

Glow in the dark Catholics
The homeless
“Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred, and I am on ill terms with no one member of my great family.” Charles Dickens
One great family, yet so many are forgotten…a kind word, a sandwich, a simple prayer go a long way with the homeless!
God bless,
