Be an Encourager: When you encourage others, you boost their self-esteem, enhance their self-confidence, make them work harder, lift their spirits and make them successful in their endeavors. Encouragement goes straight to the heart and is always available. Be an encourager. Always.

One of the most important gifts that we've received from the Holy Spirit is the ability to encourage others, because it brings heaven to earth. How? Encouragement helps people avoid sin. That's why this first reading from Mass instructs us to: Encourage one another every day, so that no one succumbs... (www.catholic365.com)

The Love Connection

From the beginning of time, the idea of relationships played an important part in our human existence. One of the first acts of God was to create a companion for Adam. Why do you think that was?

The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.

In many instances during his public ministry, the Gospels tell us that Jesus went off to a quiet place to pray, to commune with his heavenly Father.
