TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME!
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”
Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Monday of the First Week of Lent



Bring us back to you.
We repeat our desire that God bring us home from our wandering.
 
We know that in the confusion that surrounds us and can fill us,
 
we need the gift of Wisdom.
It is fitting that our very first “lesson” in our faith, 
is the last judgment scene that Jesus paints for us.
 
We will be judged on whether we:
 
  fed the hungry
 
  welcomed the stranger
 
  clothed the naked
 
  comforted the sick
 
  visited the imprisoned.
 
It is powerful to re-learn this wisdom -
 
Jesus identifies with each of these “least” cared for.
Who might we feed, welcome, clothe, comfort or visit this week? 
As my heart might “resist” this mission,
 
I might beg to be brought back, with all my heart.

We so need to do this more, and stop being so busy being us. We so need to be more Him in every way and see what He needs us to do while we are here. There is so much need in the world, its not hard to find someone who needs us.
