It’s your turn to play God – forgive

Every criticism you make of someone else is most likely something you need to fix in you. If not, there are plenty of other issues you have to work on. Do not be blind to you own faults and allergic to correcting them.

The Apostles, with their own eyes saw only flesh, but they believed that he was God. We, with our own eyes see only bread, but believe it is Christ. Body, blood, soul and divinity. (St Francis)

I imagine, one of the most difficult experiences in life, is to accept that you have just lost the last opportunity to do something you have always wanted to do. Set goals, make plans, avoid at least one difficult experience. Do it now.

If you sin seriously but repent superficially today’s perversions will be tomorrow’s ordinary events. Repent super-seriously. (and get to Confession)

Lord, please grant me the strength to fight against the passions and habits which keep me from following God’s will.

Don’t make the mistake of constantly trying to make life easier and more comfortable for yourself. You will only end up being hopelessly miserable and extremely lonely. (and quit complaining about it too)

a parent disciplining their child must do so in such a way that the child sees God’s love rather than the parent’s frustration. (a truly holy parent would never yell at their kids)
