God answers our prayers

Sometimes God answers our prayers, not in the way that we are expecting. We just have to trust that God knows best. The way may be long and narrow, but it always leads to peace.

May God bless you

This is one of those days when I wake up tired and would just love to go back to bed and let whatever it is that is bothering me pass.
But life has to go on. I have tasks to do and meetings to attend, so I try to be as positive as possible.
I guess this is an experience that I share with the rest of humankind.
We don't always feel upbeat, but we have to get up.
We don't always feel inspired, but we have to perspire to get things done.
So for all of you out there who are dragging yourself from one point to another, I bless you. May God give you whatever you need to live this day in peace. Amen.

Radiating God's light

We pray for all Consecrated women and men.
May the problems of the world not overwhelm us and turn us into angry reformists or complacent conformists.
May Jesus Christ be the Light from whom we draw the small and flickering lights that we carry to the world, offering joy and hope.
May love for God and neighbor be the only reason that motivates us and gives us the courage to sow seeds even when we do not see results, knowing that it is God who makes things grow in His own time.
