Suggestions

A friend, who told me I shouldn't post a reflection everyday on my blog, has pointed out to me that I haven't posted anything in over a week.  Make up your mind already! :-)  haha   If you must know why it's because spiritually, I had kind of a tough week last week - things are better now. 

Sometimes things strike me, something in a homily, something someone has said to me or something I've seen.  I usually meditate (almost said medicate - there's a big difference you know!) and see where the Holy Spirit takes me with those things.  I love listening to what our Lord says, even when the message isn't necessarily for me.

Is there any topic you'd like to see here?  Something you "heard" God talk to you about that you would like expanded on?  I certainly can't guarantee the Holy Spirit will speak to me on that subject, but our God works in mysterious ways - so suggestions are always welcome.

I'm sure I'll have a "real" reflection on here soon, but in the meantime, enjoy these beautiful quotes from our big brothers and sisters.

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender. -- St. Therese of Lisieux

Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin. All hope consists in confession. In confession there is a chance for mercy. Believe it firmly. Do not doubt, do not hesitate, never despair of the mercy of God. Hope and have confidence in confession. --St. Isidore of Seville

The Holy Rosary is the storehouse of countless blessings. -- Blessed Alan de la Roche

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials. -- St. Teresa of Avila

I am not capable of doing big things, but I want to do everything, even the smallest things, for the greater glory of God.- Saint Dominic Savio
