Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape.” Charles Dickens
This is who we are following. Don’t be surprised by suffering, but try to see the good that God is trying to bring about through your personal crosses!
God bless,

“The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.” Charles Dickens
Gentlemen, let’s bring it back! Opening and holding doors (“Ladies first”), holding chairs, offering the handrail and better seats with the view in restaurants, helping to take off and put on coats…and so many other details of deference and courtesy that your wives deserve!
God bless,

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.” CS Lewis
Ready for today? All in, all the time? “Jesus, please help me to embrace with trust whatever you send me or allow to happen today, especially if it hurts, looking for the light in the darkness and the good that you are trying to bring about through this cross. Amen.”
God bless,

“The issue is now clear. It is between light and darkness and every one must choose his side.” (G.K. Chesterton’s last words)
Choose to fight for Jesus and renew that choice everyday, this is the most effective pathway to peace and personal fulfillment….we are here to help him populate heaven!

“God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby’s face.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
God is your Father…trust in his merciful love, trust in his paternal forgiveness…he loves each one of you intensely and is so glad when he sees the smallest sign of repentance. Allow his merciful love to touch you in the Sacrament of Reconciliation!
God bless,

“The secret of man’s being is not only to live, but to have something to live for.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is your answer to the meaning of life? To know, love and serve God in this life, so as to be happy with him forever in the next? To help get your family to heaven?
God bless,
