REMEMBER WHOSE YOU ARE


WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME,


REMEMBER:

Everything can and will change.

You’ve overcome challenges in the past and you will again.

It’s a learning experience and it’s part of life.

Not getting what you want can be a blessing in disguise.

Allow yourself to have some fun; laughter is the best medicine.

Being kind to yourself, you deserve it.

Disregard other people’s negativity; counter it with positivity.

REMEMBER:

You are a child of God. He holds you in the palm of His hand.

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

Count your blessings and thank God for them.

 

On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, make a list of a few things that you are grateful for. Thank God for them. Not everyone is so blessed.

  WORKOUT WEDNESDAY A Midweek Spiritual Workout with Fr. Marino H. Msigala,  OFM Capuchin FACING OUR LITANY OF FEARS WITH FAITH Fear is part and parcel of humanity. 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. Fear of speaking up, or out, or publicly. Fear of unemployment. Fear of harm to those I love. Fear of hating those who seek to harm me. Fear of falling, heights, depths, of water, and of fire. Fear of loss, abandonment, engulfment, annihilation. Fear of those who may wish me harm. Fear of death . In this Midweek Spiritu...

Msigala, OFM Capuchin NOVEMBER: MONTH OF REMEMBRANCE As we begin November, the month of remembrance, we pray in a special way for our loved ones who have gone before us. Our faith teaches that the Church is comprised of three states of being. The Church Triumphant in heaven, the Church Militant on earth, and the Church Suffering in purgatory. One of the most beautiful things about the Church is that it is the Body of Christ. Whether it’s the Church on Earth, Heaven, or Purgatory, it is all one Body, and it is all connected. Our ability to intercede for one another comes through our interconnection in the Mystical Body of Christ. Praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory is one of the beautiful ways of experiencing that reality. Purgatory is that state in which people who have died in God’s Grace but have not let go of some of the imperfections and attachments of sin, go through purification before ente...
