Growing in our love for Christ
“It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master: no path of redemption can make a detour around it.” Hans Urs Von Balthasar
How do you react when confronted with the cross? “Thank you, Jesus for this opportunity to grow in my love for you”…or “Good Grief!”
Prayer corners
Prayer corners are needed now!
“With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim the journey!” Dorothy Day
*With our Sacramental life being temporarily put on hold, I encourage all of you to make a prayer corner somewhere in your house. Read Scripture and good spiritual books, pray the rosary, speak to Jesus and Mary from the heart, follow Mass on line…and take advantage of your home being, in the words of St. John Paul II, a “Domestic Church”!
With Jesus, you will get through it…
“Jesus possesses my heart, and being in possession of Jesus I find that I can smile, even in the midst of so many tears. I feel, yes, I feel that I am happy even in the midst of so many sufferings.” St. Gemma Galgani
Is Jesus your fireman…or your best friend?
Always improving…
“Accepting oneself does not preclude an attempt to become better.” Flannery O’Connor
Cultivating a “growth” mindset
Crosses as blessings…
“I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing.” Flannery O’Connor. Sometimes our heaviest crosses can be our greatest blessings…if we see them with the eyes of Faith.
