“Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis
My experience has been that those who have suffered more, and embraced this as God’s plan with a deep faith, tend to have a little more “spark”, a little more character and a little more joy in their hearts. “Those who sow in tears will reap with hearts rejoicing!” (Psalm 126:5)

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy
The devil supplies us with plenty or reasons and sophisms why we do not need to change or make adjustments in the way we act, but for some reason, we do not cut the same slack to those around us. We all need to take the plank out of our own eye first…

“The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize.” Blessed Paul VI
Do you talk about Jesus with your friends? Do they know how much you love Him? Does it show in your daily life?

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Sometimes, those who love us the most can help us discover the hardest truths about ourselves. Are we willing to listen?

“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Don’t let the misery and imperfections of those around you slow you down…don’t worry, they will need to answer to God. Focus on your own holiness, and this example of joyful living will move their hearts more than any lecture or negative judgement.
God bless,
