Debra M. Wishing Peace To All

I have so many wonderful moments that I cannot choose and all are gems to me.

Peace Be With You Now and Always.

What image filled your mind with love and peace?

Peace Be With You,

Debra

If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it. -- St. Thomas of Villanova

My daughter, I see more Pharisees among Christians than there were around Pilate. -- St. Margaret of Cortona

Peace Be With You,

Debra

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by love. -- St. John of the Cross

The poverty of spirit or financial poverty?

"If I have not love, I am nothing."

Peace Be With You,

Debra

Or any other ACE inhibitor?

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. - Pope John XXIII

Peace Be With You,

Debra

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

-Anne Frank

The Navajo people have a prayer that deserves to be sung daily by all persons:

I walk with beauty before me

I walk with beauty behind me

I walk with beauty above me

I walk with beauty below me

I walk with beauty all around me

Your world is so beautiful, Oh God.

My latest little blessing.

I would not wish to choose

There are so many things

I would not wish to lose.

I have given up so much.

So many things I love

But now I offer my sight

To our Father up above

Whatever He asks of me,

I gladly give away.

I only ask He remain

To help me everyday.

I promise this is my last question for today or at least until later this evening. For me the song that fits me today is "The Hiding Place" by John Michael Talbot"

Which is stronger in your life? Why do YOU think this is?

Have a wonderful day!

Peace Be With You,

Debra

How did you arrive at complete forgiveness? Some hurts are easily forgiven but some cut the deepest. Who has caused your the greatest pain?

Peace Be With You,

Debra

This deadly cancer of anger from which so much harm grows: It makes us unlike ourselves, makes us like timber wolves or furies from Hell, drives us forth headlong upon the points of swords, makes us blindly run forth after other men's destruction as we hasten toward our own ruin.

--------St. Thomas More

Life is about change, some changes are frustrating physically and spiritually. How do you deal with changes and limitations?

Peace Be With You,

Debra

"Once the Lord told me that I was not obeying, unless I was determined

to suffer. I must fix my eyes on all that he had suffered and I should

find everything easy."

St. Teresa of Avila

For Reflection:

In light of St. Teresa's quote and in light of the life of Christ,

what is the connection between obedience and suffering? How can

keeping our eyes on Jesus provide consolation in the midst of our

obedience?

Prayer for Faith

Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life, in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of those I trusted, in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied. Let me put myself aside, to think of the happiness of others, to hide my little pains and heartaches, so that I may be the only one to suffer from them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may make me patient, not irritable. That it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not narrow, haughty and overbearing. May no one be less good for having come within my influence. No one less pure, less true, less kind, less noble for having been a fellow traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life. As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me whisper from time to time, a word of love to Thee. May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power for good, and strong in its purpose of sanctity. AMEN!
