God Wants You to Spend More Time on Self-Care

I was recently at a seminar that pertained to keeping a balance in one’s life. The speaker revealed that the contemplative religious have longer life spans than the rest of us.

I don't want to be an anti, against anybody. I simply want to be the builder of a great affirmation: the affirmation of God, who loves us and who wants to save us.

Chernobyl Diaper. Parental Joy. Fatherly Purpose.

Our Amazing Gracie had a "gift." Along with every other parent of two years olds on the planet, we were eager to get her potty trained. As were the garbage men. We were losing neighbors. The ozone was depleting. Al Gore was calling. You get the idea.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Over-Salted Generation

Those who aren't following Jesus aren't his followers. It's that simple. Followers follow…….. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus into a society.

Blessed Anacleto González Flores: Husband; Father; Martyr *

If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better.

Jesus’ words call us to focus on lifting each other up instead of putting each other down. They call us to bring life to our worship together instead of death (It’s not always the pastor’s fault).... (www.catholic365.com)
