Fight All Error...But Do It With Good Humor, Patience, Kindness, And Love.

Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause. - Saint John of Kanty

You're Bored? That's Because You Keep Your Senses Awake And Your Soul Asleep

You're bored? That's because you keep your senses awake and your soul asleep. ― Saint Josemaría Escrivá

Our Productivity, Personal Growth, And Our Future Depends On What Our Minds Are Focusing On At Any Given Minute

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to become distracted and spend our time on activities that are either non-productive or ineffective?

Our productivity, personal growth, and our present as well as our future depends on what our minds are focusing on at any given minute.

Since our future depends on our focus, my thoughts often turn toward Ephesians 5:15-17 - Be very careful, then, on how you live---not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

It’s our choice how we spend our time; we can choose to complain, criticize, worry & wish things were different or we can spend our time learning, creating, planning, encouraging & building people up. It’s difficult to be effective & productive in this life if we allow our minds to dwell on the negative. - Anna Gisselle

The Importance of Silence

The Father spoke one Word, which was his Son, and this Word he speaks always in eternal silence, and in silence must it be heard by the soul - Saint John of the Cross

Don't Have Anything to do With Foolish and Stupid Arguments

Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. - 2 Timothy 2:23

Do Not Grumble

Do not grumble as some of them did, and suffered death by the destroyer...God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. - 1 Corinthians 10:10, 13

No Foul Language

No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear. - Eph 4:29

Remember, there was a time when we too were ignorant, disobedient and misled

Remind your people that it is their duty to be obedient to the officials and representatives of the government; to be ready to do good at every opportunity; not to go slandering other people or picking quarrels, but to be courteous and always polite to all kinds of people. Remember, there was a time when we too were ignorant, disobedient and misled and enslaved by different passions and luxuries; we lived then in wickedness and ill-will, hating each other and hateful ourselves.

But when the kindness and love of God our saviour for mankind were revealed, it was not because he was concerned with any righteous actions we might have done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own compassion that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by renewing us with the Holy Spirit which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our saviour. He did this so that we should be justified by his grace, to become heirs looking forward to inheriting eternal life. - Titus 3:1-7
