“When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.”~St. Francis de Sales.

Bad memories
Pain is gain

“Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis
My experience has been that those who have suffered more, and embraced this as God’s plan with a deep faith, tend to have a little more “spark”, a little more character and a little more joy in their hearts. “Those who sow in tears will reap with hearts rejoicing!” (Psalm 126:5)

Striving for perfection
Changing yourself
TKC!
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy
The devil supplies us with plenty or reasons and sophisms why we do not need to change or make adjustments in the way we act, but for some reason, we do not cut the same slack to those around us. We all need to take the plank out of our own eye first…
God bless,

Evangelization
TKC!
“The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize.” Blessed Paul VI
Do you talk about Jesus with your friends? Do they know how much you love Him? Does it show in your daily life?
God bless,

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Sometimes, those who love us the most can help us discover the hardest truths about ourselves. Are we willing to listen?
