“I’m honest and tell people right to their faces what I think, even when it’s not very flattering. I want to be honest; I think it gets you further and also makes you feel better about yourself.” Anne Frank
Honesty
You might be the only “Jesus” people see
Indifference?
“The most deadly poison of our time is indifference.” St. Maximilian Kolbe
So many empty pews at Mass, so few Confessional lines, such little Marian devotion…we need holy and committed lay people today more than ever! We need selfless and fervent Catholics, who glow with the light of Christ and the peace of Christ!! Priests and Bishops certainly need to step up our game…but we ALL need to help rebuild our Catholic Church!
Greeting others…joyfully!
Petty arguments
“I think it’s odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it.” Anne Frank
Waiting?
Strive to improve
“I can’t imagine how anyone can say: ‘I’m weak’, and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character?” Anne Frank
Authentic Catholics
Life is a song…and a struggle
“Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.” St. Mother Teresa
Loving your neighbor
“I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?” St. Mother Teresa
Regardless of who God put next to you, try to see some element of God’s providence working…and allow his love to reach their hearts through your kindness!!
