Sunday Angelus of the holy father 11/12/2023

  Amen!  Yes let us have this type of compassion and empathy for one another. To see each other's heart, to see the light in the eyes of others, not just focusing on the negative things in all of our lives, but the good that comes from Christ!  All good comes from Christ.  Let us stop and listen in the silence of our hearts.

How do we know if we love?

 What is love and how do we know if we love?  Love is a word that is often used and for just about everything. We know that God is love, and that we can love each other. Our Lord also told us to "love our enemies." I have often said that love is a choice, but as a mom I know that the love I have for my kids has been there since before they were born.

And then we can decide what love truly is! What I am quoting below is f...

Imitation of Christ  is a book, composed of 4 books. Book 1 is titled,  THOUGHTS HELPFUL IN THE LIFE OF THE SOUL. This book contains 25 short chapters.  Wisely, in my opinion, Thomas selects vainglory as the first attribute to address. His thought was, one must understand that the road to humility is blocked by vanity. So, what is vanity? When we began attending a brand new parish in Charlotte, I volunteered for everything: parish council, extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, lector, catechist and many  committees. But, I didn't do it out of charity, I wanted to be noticed. "Hey, look at me. See what I'm doing in the name of the Lord?" I was vain. I eventually did not like myself and began praying for humanity. But, it took many years. Was I praying the right prayers? Was I e...
