WE LIVE, IN FACT, IN A WORLD STARVED FOR SOLITUDE, SILENCE, AND PRIVATE: AND THEREFORE STARVED FOR MEDITATION AND TRUE FRIENDSHIP. – C.S. LEWIS
Clearing your head
Prayer heals
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!!
Sin?
Your fishbowl
“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?
Sincere gratitude
Christ is always with us
“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!
Christian dignity
Positive change
“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.” C.S. Lewis
Change is generally a good and and necessary thing for growth both professionally and personally, but always keeping the “good” from the past and building on and around it.
God bless,
