Telling the truth
Inspirational thoughts
TKC! Dear Friends, in Christ, I am heading out to Michigan early tomorrow morning for my nephew’s wedding and to spend some quality time with my brother, Deacon Tom and my sister, Debbie. From there, I will be joining my brother priests in Wisconsin for my annual 8 day retreat…so my email service will resume again on July 27th. Be assured of my prayers during these days ahead!
The gift of time
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien
Clarity with charity
“A word in earnest is as good as a speech.” Charles Dickens
Clarity is important, but always done with charity and sincerity.
Keep looking up!
“I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.” Charlotte Bronte
Never forget that GOD is involved and wants to help you in every aspect of your life. Look up, lift up your heart and beg God to enlighten you to see his will and strengthen you to follow it!
Jesus loves you!
“God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us. You are as much alone with him as if you were the only being he had ever created.” CS Lewis
Try to imagine Jesus, just Jesus, looking at you with all the love of his heart. He is real and his personal love for you is so intense!
Yellow brick road…
“To walk out of his will is to walk into nowhere.” – C. S. Lewis
There is one “yellow brick” road for each one of us…the path of God’s will and God’s loving plan…filled with plenty of twists and turns but always leading us a little closer to Christ and a little closer to heaven!
Love…
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, noteven an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements.” CS Lewis
Marital fidelity
“Forever is composed of nows” – Emily Dickinson
Leaving comfort zone
“If we do not risk anything for God, we will never do anything great for Him.” St. Louis de Montfort
Are you willing to leave your comfort zone and be led by the inspirations of the Holy Spirit…life is certainly more of an adventure and God will never give you more than you can handle!
