reflections

 God wants you to know ... that everything that irritates you about others, is your key to understanding yourself.

What angers you in another person is an unhealed aspect of yourself. If you had already resolved that particular issue, you would not be irritated by its reflection back to you. "

Suffering and Prayer



 ...the value of pain, when joined with prayer, in moving the heart of God. Prayer, all prayer, is always efficacious. But prayer takes on extraordinary power to win graces, for the one praying and for all mankind, when it is united with patient suffering.


Indeed, suffering is already a prayer, when humbly accepted from the hands of God and offered to God—as Christ’s prayer on the Cross—in patient resignation to a divine will.

Birthright


Greatness is your birthright.

Who are you to shine brighter than others? Who are you to take a step forward when others are shrinking back?
Who are you to make others feel insecure with your greatness?
You are a child of God.
Take a step forward, shine bright,- inspire others with your light to their own greatness.

Shared Joy, Shared Sorrow


that shared joy is a double joy;  shared sorrow is half a sorrow. There is no need for you to go it alone.  There are people who love you, and who are ready to give you much needed support. There are even more, ~ way more than you can possibly imaging,  people who can love you if you give them a chance.  Make 'share joy, half the sorrow' your motto for today.

Offerings

If you desire something, offer something.
Offerings can come in many forms:  a gift, a prayer, a smile, flowers, food.  Offer something from your heart.

Purpose

 God has an important purpose for you, and made everything possible for you to succeed. That's not to say it is an easy purpose, or a convenient one. It might very well seem hard or even impossible, but it only looks that way. The truth is that one day you will look back and see how all the pieces fit together. And how your life has been a complete and utter success.
