WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING
What if…
God were to stop loving us, we would all just disappear — yikes!
My response…
I receive the living God and my heart is full of joy!
What’s your response?

WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING
“The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is to be happy!”
“And the very worst thing that you could do for anyone that you love, is be unhappy, and then ask them to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make you happy.”
“If it is your dominant intent to hold yourself in vibrational harmony with who you really are, you could never offer any action that would cause anybody else to be unhappy.”
–Abraham-Hicks
THERE’S WORK TO BE DONE

“Be firm and steadfast; go to work without fear or discouragement, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or abandon you before you have completed all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.”

WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING
The Law of Love is light and sweet.
“Love always minimizes the difficulties in its path. The greater one’s love, the easier the sacrifice. Loving God will be our unending occupation in heaven and it will be the cause of our ecstatic happiness through eternity.”
–Father Bonniwell, Dominican priest and historian
LET US PRAY
WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING – A PRAYER
Lord of wind, sea and pandemic stricken world
Comfort mourners, heal the sick, raise departed souls
Protect all peoples as they return to work and re-stabilize life
Draw us all out of danger with your gentle wisdom and loving mercy, Amen.
FINDING VIRTUOUS LOVE
WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING
Catherine of Siena ASKING GOD…?
Pray Tell – Where is Virtuous Love found?
God’s answer to Catherine of Siena is “in our neighbors.”
She agrees, “because I can’t show my Creator my love for Him directly, so I have to use my neighbors and do for them the service I cannot do for God.”
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” What a powerful directive to inflame minds!
HAIKU
To love foes as friends
each as brother and sister
there, is virtuous love
Saint Catherine of Siena, pray for us
WHAT MAKES YOUR DAILY GOAL?
WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING HAIKU
“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”
–Henry James
My new friend Michael at floweringpoverello has inspired this post when in recent writings he discusses “making faith his daily goal.” That is mine as well. Indeed, everyday should be a return to God with “a personalized rule of life” to follow.
HAIKU
A daily visit
to finding God everywhere
satisfies one’s hunger
The Discalced Carmelite rule of life that propels my daily faith combines the follow:
* Foster a daily praying presence where I am rooted,
* Live in joy and gratitude for God’s blessings,
* Extend kindness and mercy and
* be faithful to the Carmelite spirituality with everyone I encounter.
Do you have a special rule of life that embodies your life? I would love to know about it.
PS: Thank you Michael for your inspiration. Folks, his blog is worth your glance.
