Downshifting
Downshift, hit the brakes…slow down the brain.
Get off the fast track…get off the train!
Stop sprinting…before you get a sprain!
Hoping this poem…provides a chicane!
Less thinking, more praying…so Christ reigns!
Lean into his heart… and there remain!
You never waste time with God…pure gain!
Trust his plan…enter his domain!!
God is always right there
“Wherever I go I will find you, my God.” St. John Baptist De La Salle
Always “striving”
Acts of kindness
The purpose of life
“What is the mark of love for your neighbor? Not to seek what is for your own benefit, but what is for the benefit of the one loved, both in body and in soul.” –St. Basil the Great
Looking for the good in others
Christ is the answer
“Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions that trouble them. Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created and loved by God.”– Pope St. John Paul II
An examined life
Embracing the cross
“Woe to me if I should prove myself but a halfhearted soldier in the service of my thorn-crowned Captain.” St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen
This image by El Greco captures so much about Jesus in his moment of suffering…his dignity, his focus on his Heavenly Father, his peace and joyful acceptance of the cross…this is who we are following!
