“Never give up on prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.” St. John of the Cross
Stick with it, don’t worry about your feelings or the apparent dryness…Jesus is there and he is simply delighted that you are spending this time with him.
God bless,

“Anyone who has a special devotion to the sacred Eucharist and who tries to repay Christ’s infinite love for us with an eager and unselfish love of his own, will experience and fully understand—and this will bring great delight and benefit to his soul—just how precious is a life hidden with Christ in God and just how worthwhile it is to carry on a conversation with Christ, for there is nothing more consoling here on earth, nothing more efficacious for progress along the paths of holiness.” Blessed Paul VI

“Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”
― C.S. Lewis
Do you live to serve or be served, to make others happy or to “work it” so they can make you happy? Your answer decides how happy you will be today.

Parents, tough love and having your kids share the burden of household chores, is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. They may seem to be “overwhelmed”, but just check their activity on social media and you will discover plenty of available time to chip in.

“God leads every soul by a separate path.” St. John of the Cross
Focus on what God wants from you, this is what matters…God has different plans for everyone else.

“Calcuttas are everywhere if only we have eyes to see. Find your Calcutta.” St. Mother Teresa
Please Google, “Catholic Charities” for your local Diocese, and you will find a plethora of opportunities to give back to your local community. No need to go to Haiti or Africa, there are plenty of serious needs in your own back yard!

“A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is… A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.”
― C.S. Lewis
