What can I Do?

I must find the peace that has its seed within my soul. To the extent that I find this peace and live this peace, I will contribute to the peace of this world. -FEAR NOT

A Franciscan Blessing

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may wish for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.

HELP

I am overwhelmed and bewildered by the needs of this world. God help me. I have just given all that I can give.

Confession

I can not stand by a suffering person and do nothing. I am not blind. I do have feelings.

Have a Great Night

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

            -Ralph Waldo Emerson

An Actual Fact

When I lose sight of God’s love for me, I can not love myself. I can not even like myself very much so I busy myself in a vain attempt to make myself more lovable or maybe just to hide my unlovely nature.

Remember Richard,  God loves you and nothing that you do will make God love you any more or any less. (Romans 5:8 and Romans 8:31-38)
