“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
Don’t let the misery and imperfections of those around you slow you down…don’t worry, they will need to answer to God. Focus on your own holiness, and this example of joyful living will move their hearts more than any lecture or negative judgement.
God bless,

Summer’s slowly winding down…
No need to fret, fear or frown!
Christ is in the boat,
He’ll keep you afloat,
Catching passes for touchdowns!

“One must talk openly with others, in a way which reveals one’s inner thoughts through one’s face, which reveals the troubles of one’s heart directly in one’s words. One word said with conviction, with complete sincerity and without any hesitation, while staring into a person’s eyes, means more than dozens of pages from a book.” Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares a world she will not see.” Blessed Paul VI
At times I wish my mom could have seen the incredible conversions, little miracles and countless acts of God’s loving providence that have occurred over the years in my priesthood. And yet, I know so well, that I would have never made it to my ordination, nor would I be half the man I am today, without the incredible example of her selflessness and deep Faith. Thank you, mom!

Wonderful waves surging!
Surfing or submerging?
Getting smashed by the curl?
Or cruising on the swirl?
Prayer lifts you on God’s board,
So, why get flipped and floored?
Christ should not be ignored,
But, lovingly adored!!
I hope this strikes a chord!!

“Never reach out your hand unless you’re willing to extend an arm.” Blessed Paul VI
Sometimes, when you agree to help someone, it may become more of a burden than what you expected….try to embrace these little extra sufferings with a smile and use it to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
God bless,
