The greatest act of charity
Love is demanding
TKC!
“Genuine love … is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.” St. John Paul II
Is the “sky the limit” in your spousal and parental relationships? There is no greater gift you can give your kids than the example of a selfless, generous disposition towards your spouse and kids, loving them in the way they prefer to be loved! Kids absorb and eventually imitate this beautiful example! Then you, in turn, can make demands on your kids!
God bless,

Prayer from the heart
Leadership by example
TKC!
“Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.” Blessed Paul VI
When it comes to moving other people to conversion and change, human qualities mean very little. Authenticity, fidelity, humility and charity are what truly move hearts and minds.
God bless,

Dealing with difficulties
Listening to God
TKC!
“Of all human activities, man’s listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.” Blessed Paul VI
God is always ready to listen to us and respond to our plethora of needs and concerns. Are we willing to listen to God? Are we afraid to allow him to challenge us to grow and perhaps leave aside unhealthy attachments?
God bless,

Staying fit for Jesus
Staying fit…for Jesus
Thinking of Jesus
TKC!
“Don’t be daunted by the cross. The surest test of love consists in suffering for the loved one, and if God suffered so much for love, the pain we suffer for Him becomes as lovable as love itself.” St. Padre Pio
Do you think of Jesus “constantly”, especially when it gets tough? The cross is always a golden opportunity to show Jesus just how much you love him and trust in his plan for you!
God bless,
