May 2020

The month of May reminds me of Mary and her YES to bring and give life to our world. Let us, like Mary,… be a YES especially during this global virus crisis.

Be a YES… with a joyful heart
Be a YES… with a grace of love
Be a YES… with hope-filled words
Be a YES… with acts of charity
Be a YES… with a touch of compassion
Be a YES… with an understanding heart
Be a YES… with a prayer of forgiveness
Be a Yes… with a reflection of sharing Jesus’ mercy

Yes… Yes… Yes… In your own way,… bring and give life to our world.

During this time of a virus crisis….

Hope…. is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul
and sings the tune without words. — Emily Dickinson

In a world where you can do anything…. Be Kind.

The happiness of your life depends
On the loving quality of your thoughts.

Inhale courage….
Exhale fear

Share whisper in a hidden prayer… for everyone everywhere… right now
This is Easter Joy…. compassion born of human suffering.

Three Little Words
Pray… Trust… Wait

Fasting
Fast from gossip………share good words
Fast from hurts………share wonderful forgiveness
Fast from selfishness………share your presence

Contemplation. Meditation. Reflection.

Do ordinary deeds with joy. Wash a dish, take out the garbage, do the shopping, mail your bills. See something in the action that says aren’t I blessed to be able to see joy in the simplicity and ordinariness of life? Perhaps one might discover this is a great blessing.

Share “uncommon kindness”. Say words that care rather than hurt. Say words that encourage rather than diminish. Say words each day that are born of extraordinary kindness that lead to forgiveness and peace. This will lead you to discover the gift of uncommon generosity of spirit … by living with and sharing with “uncommon kindness” you can create a world of wonderful joy.
