Let us all pray for an end to abortion and for all those who are in pain from the consequences of their "choices".

Be thankful for what you've got!

Love the crosses God chooses for you!

"The Cross is my sure salvation.  The Cross I ever adore.  The Cross of my Lord is with me.  The Cross is my refuge."  

St. Thomas Aquinas 

"To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done 

once for all;  it consists in the continual practice of 

small duties which are distasteful to us." 

 St. John Henry Newman

"Let us carry our crosses with love; 

let us see that they do not become a burden to others, 

but let us help others carry theirs."  

St. John Bosco

Thank you Dear God for these crosses.

Wisdom from St. Francis de Sales

The Everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost Heart. This cross He now sends you He has considered with His all-knowing eyes, understood with His divine mind, tested with His wise justice, warmed with loving arms and weighed with His own Hands, to see that it be not one inch too large and not one once too heavy for you. He has blessed it with His Holy Name, anointed it with His grace, perfumed it with His consolation, taken one last glance at you and your courage, and then sent it to you from heaven, a special greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God.

~~~St. Francis de Sales~~~

Do you think this would work for siblings?

I wonder if I made my children do this if it would end petty bickering?

No.  I know, probably not.  

Watch

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
