This week’s must-reads:
1. The St. Jude Novena is one of the novenas that brings the most people to our website… and I think it’s because St. Jude is the patron saint of impossible causes. We start praying his novena on Friday. Do you have some impossible causes that I can pray about for you?
2. I LOVE THIS MESSAGE: “wouldn’t it be something if we all had the courage to truly RECEIVE the gifts He’s given us? to EMBRACE them, cultivate them, grow in them so that we may better love and serve those around us? we have to stop dimming our lights simply because we are scared. scared of whether or not our strengths are actually strengths. scared of whether or not our strengths are as strong as someone else’s. scared of whether or not our strengths can be of any use to begin with. we have to stop comparing our gifts to each other’s gifts and recognize that we are not meant to to be each other, but are meant to complement each other + help each other cultivate the unique strengths we do have. for our greater good and His greater glory.” – Shalini, Her Fit Life 7
4. “A desire to pray is planted deep within us. This just means the desire to speak to God and to listen to him. Keep in mind that prayer is not designed to change God’s mind or to tell God something he doesn’t know. God isn’t like a big city boss or a reluctant pasha whom we have to persuade. He is rather the one who wants nothing other than to give us good things—though they might not always be what we want.
Can you see how this prayer rightly orders us? We must put God’s holy name first; we must strive to do his will in all things and at all times; we must be strengthened by spiritual food or we will fall; we must be agents of forgiveness; we must be able to withstand the dark powers.” – Bishop Barron
