Brothers,
"The beginning of a new year, soon to be followed by Lent, is a good time for us to empty our interior buckets and fill them anew - not with mere thoughts and feelings, but with qualities that spring from the heart of the Gospel. So in place of anxiety, let us fill our inner bucket with the peace of Christ In place of anger, forgiveness. In place of self-pity, thankfulness. Just as anxiety, anger and self-pity reinforce one another, so too do peace, forgiveness and gratitude." Words worth considering from Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori. Fr. Bruce |
