I don't think

I don’t think it would be good idea to get involved right now.

The question you asked, Am I available? is a good one.

I have a hard time showing up. I’m not as advanced as you.

Fr. Ray

Fr. Ray says that rather that turning inward to inner movings and desires I need to see how God is working in my life: What is work asking of me? What are my friends asking of me? What is my family asking of me?

And look in the mirror and say, “I will be kind to myself.”

Both reason and passion are two friends

Both reason and passion are two friends who accompany you. Reason is the rudder and passion is the wind at the sails.

--Kahlil Gibran

Feel sad, or depressed or dejected,

Feel sad, or depressed or dejected,

Or angry, or embarrassed, or relieved

Or at peace.

It doesn’t matter

What matters is that I feel.

to believe in god is not a mental exercise

to believe in god is not a mental exercise

nor is it a force of will.

In fact, it is a release of will

To fall into the arms of God

Trusting that he will guide us

And lead us on our way.

It is not unlike falling in love

When you’ve let go of control

And allow your self to be taken.

forgive

Forgive …and forget.

--Richard Clinton 

Let go

Let go of

• Fear
• Anger
• Pride

Love consists

Love consists in sharing what one has and what one is with those one loves.

Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.

--St. Ignatius of Loyola

I don't think of breathing

I don’t think of breathing until I am short of breath.

--Maureen Sullivan

the cure

The cure for your loneliness is actually solitude.

--Richard Rohr

Find life experiences

Find life experiences

And swallow them whole.

Travel.

Meet many people.

Go down some dark alleys.

Try everything.

Exhaust yourself in the

Glorious pursuit of life.

--laurence K. Fish

you are writing a gospel

You are writing a gospel

A chapter each day—

By deeds that you do

By words that you say.

Men read what you write

Whether faithless or true,

What is the gospel

According to you?

 

--Paul Gilbert
