AS A CATHOLIC

I do not believe in luck.

I BELIEVE IN GOD’S BLESSINGS.

I do not believe in karma.

I BELIEVE IN GOD’S MERCY.

I do not believe in feng shui, fortune-telling, charms, horoscopes, or astrology.

I BELIEVE IN GOD’S GRACE.

I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other Gods before Me.” Exodus 20:2-3


On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, ask yourself what you believe in and then live what you believe.

He sent you in the opposite direction to avoid danger. You missed your flight but saved your life. You didn’t get the job, but there’s a better one ahead. He fights battles you know nothing about. His plan is better than yours. You owe everything to God. Thank Him with a grateful amen!     On this  SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY , be patient when things don’t seem to be going your way.

No one goes through life without experiencing fear. Fear contributes positively to defending (or at least warning) us against danger. However, if not managed, fear can weigh us down, knock us out, hold us back, destroy our peace of mind, force us to withdraw, and rob our hearts of happiness. Let us face our litany of human fears with the courage found in the power of prayer. Fear of failure. Fear of darkness. Fear of illness. Fear of rejection. Fear of discovery.
