“The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?” – Dorothy Day

     I recently had breakfast with one of the business leaders in our Lumen Institute group here in NYC, and he mentioned that he was starting to buy McDonald’s gift certificates to hand them out to the homeless along with a prayer card.  He ends this heart-felt encounter by asking their name and telling them that he will pray for them today.  Simple stuff, but so powerful!

God bless,

“When one loves, one does not calculate.” St. Therese of Lisieux

    Every morning, every day…Fr. Steven Reilly, LC prepares a large pot of oatmeal and 10 hard boiled eggs for our community of priests.  He also does the grocery shopping and so many favors behind the scenes…so, yes, he deserves a big “shout-out”!

God bless,

     “Family prayer has its own characteristic qualities. It is prayer offered in common, husband and wife together, parents and children together…by reason of their dignity and mission, Christian parents have the specific responsibility of educating their children in prayer, introducing them to gradual discovery of the mystery of God and to personal dialogue with Him…” St. John Paul II

    Grace before meals, family rosary, joint Scripture reading and reflection, praying together for each other’s intentions,…so many possibilities and so powerful for the kids!

God bless,

“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?” St. Mother Teresa

     Love is the key, fill your heart with Christ’s love in prayer and the Sacraments and then allow HIS love to work through you, each and every day.

God bless,
