Celebrate Springtime

This month let’s reflect on some holy thoughts…
In Spring…the sun begins to shine more
Let’s shine with sharing good deeds

“I did not go through pain and come out on the other side.  Instead, I lived in it and found within that pain the grace to survive and eventually grow.”
(A Grace Disguised)

When troubles come and they will ~~~
Shelter us, O Lord with the
gift of compassionate tears.

Enjoy all the love and compassionate connections you have in life….
they will let happiness spring back with deep peace.

Abide…just one word
It is encouraging and hope-filled.
When we trust the Lord we abide

Set the world on fire with …
…peace and compassion
…forgiveness and reconciliation
…charity and respect
…comfort and great caring

(all these gifts in your heart Celebrate Spring by
Sharing them generously and graciously)

Let there be not war with explosions of military arms of guns, bullets and tanks.

Let there be explosions of empathy, kindness and compassion…
…these blessings are shared with arms of love .

Let this Springtime of April shower each one of us with a
wellspring of compassion.

April will be Easter time…
…a moment of resurrection
…a grace of transformation
…a handshake of grace
…a heart that does not say Peace
but lives Peace by sharing Peace .

Now go out into This April season and
multiply the “sacred” blessings
of Celebrating Jesus springtime in you.  Amen.

February… known best to be the month of the heart
…a time of extra kindness
…a spirit of gentleness sprinkled just where you are
…sharing peace, hope and holiness

Take time to sit in the silence of prayer
…few words spoken from the heart
…hold faith in words, deeds and actions of caring
…an open heart sees God every where

February …Journey with balance in your heart
…live, love and work
…share, listen and contemplate
…befriend the heart of God in all you meet

February…a month of holidays
…celebrate
…be grateful
…be filled with joy

God knows what is in your heart…
…goodness
…graces
…gracious living

Enjoy your month of the heart.
and as you open your heart in prayer…
You will trust more and be courageous
and you will believe in your mission …
To be the heart of Jesus’ love here on earth.

A New Year
This can be a blessing…
…to be more caring
…to be a better listener
…to share compassion
…to have an open heart

This can be a grace…
…to be a sign of Hope
…to live our prayer
…to sacrifice our time for the common good

This can be a gift…
…to share your presence with someone in need
…to comfort those dealing with loss or illness
…to share your faith

January… the first month of a new year… 2022
Let us…
…see Christ’s love in everyone
…see Christ’s love everywhere we go

Happy… Holy… Healthy to all… this new year… 2022

Season of Joy, Hope, Peace and Love

Let these be the gifts we share
Let the light of Love

be there in any darkness

Let the light of Peace

be given unconditionally

Let the light of Hope

be shared as to give life

Let the light of Joy

be celebrated in prayer

and compassionate deeds

Let us arise each day and

be the glory of God

in ordinary deeds.

Let us together this Advent and Christmas season

be a wonderful glimmer of Jesus presence

in our world.

Let us share this holy season with a

yearning of transformation

in every human heart.

Amen.

November…A Month to Practice Gratitude

November begins with celebrating the Feast of All Saints
This reminds me that we are called to live holy lives…
…think of others needs
…practice sharing simple kindnesses

Think of people who inspire you …
…to be compassionate
…to share comfort for the sorrowing
…to imitate virtues that sow peace

Think of Giving -Thanks …
…for the graces given to be loving
…for the ability to be a good listener
…for the faith to share in words, deeds and actions

Be grateful this month especially for the opportunities to…
…give humble service
…take time to share prayer moments
…be an echo of Jesus love in your ordinary life

And most of all…every day in November
whisper a prayer of gratitude to God.   Amen.
