Inspirational thoughts

Parenting

by

“Home life is the God-appointed training ground of human character, for from the home life of the child springs the maturity of manhood, either for good or for evil.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Joy vs. Pleasure

by

“Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. Joy comes from loving God and neighbor. Pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. Joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. Pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. Joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Attitude is contagious

by

“Our personal dispositions are as windowpanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Hidden charity

by

“It’s much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.”  Leo Tolstoy
Jesus worked this miracle at the Wedding at Cana so that the bride and bridegroom would get all the credit…

Mary, our mother

by

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

Agatha Christie

Flock together?

by

“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”  William Wordsworth

Don’t worry about tomorrow

by

“Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and everyday. Either he will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.” St. Francis de Sales
