Prayer corner

by

“Let go of your plans. The first hour of your morning belongs to God. Tackle the day’s work that he charges you with, and he will give you the power to accomplish it.” –St. Edith Stein
Create a prayer corner in your home and make that the place where you begin your day with Jesus.

Advent poem

by

Mary and Joseph were packing their bags,
Swaddling clothes for Jesus, garments without tags.
The three Kings were also pitching their tents,
The star led to twists and turn of events.
 
The world marched on…at a frenetic pace,
Just a few knew…of Our Saviour’s birthplace.
Too busy, too worried, too much in the race,
Too bad! They could have seen Christ, face to face!
 
Advent has arrived..take time to reflect!
Leave the holiday wheel…recollect!
Start wrapping your gift…the one he desires!
He just wants your love…adore and admire!

Prayer heals

by

Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness. –St. John Chrysostom
  Prayer heals, strengthens, consoles and sweetens the heart…make more time for Jesus!!
 

Your fishbowl

by

“How can we answer to ourselves for the souls who have in our times lived and died in sin; the souls that have been lost and are now waiting for the judgment, seeing that for what we know, we were ordained to influence or reverse their present destiny and have not done it?” Blessed Cardinal Newman
  Who has God providentially placed in your fishbowl? Are you leading them closer to Jesus?

Christ is always with us

by

“The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.” St. Teresa of Avila

    Jesus is there, through thick and thin, good times and bad.  Never doubt his loving presence and do not be afraid to ask Him for help!
