"LOVE YOUR WORK"
If you don't like your work,
You'll need three times the energy:
To force yourself to work,
To resist the force,
And finally to work.

If you love your work,
Your desire to do it
Will be like a wind
To propel your ship
With much less fuel.

If you like your work,
You work no more -
For work, when you like it,
Is work no longer
But sheer enjoyment!

If you enjoy your work,
You'll work and work
Without counting the hours -
And you'll reap and enjoy
More earnings as well.

"F R E E D O M"
This life is yours
Take the power
to choose what you want to do
and do it well.

Take the power
to love what you want in life
and love it honestly.

Take the power
to control your own life.
No one else can do it for you.

Take the power
to make your life happy.

"AFTER GLOW"
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one
I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles
when life is done

I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways
bright and sunny days

I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry
before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.

"Smile"
A smile is something
that makes you sweeter,
It doesn't cost a cent;

A smile is something
all your own,
It never can be lent;

A smile is something
makes you younger,
It does away with frowns;

A smile is good for everyone,
To ease the ups and
downs...

If you put your mind into it
you can accomplish anything...
"BACK TO THE FUTURE"
October 24, 1985

"The Difference..."
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and black;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

"Littleness"
It takes littleness to patiently withstand the
insults, the abuse, hurled upon You.

It takes littleness for an innocent man to
accept the injustice of being condemned, tortured and executed
like a common criminal, by Crucifiction.

It takes littleness to ask forgiveness, for
Your tormentors, Your executioners, for You saw that they know
not what they were doing.

And,

It takes the ultimate in
littleness, when You know that those who truly Crucified You are
all of us sinners, and yet, You dwell in our hearts, waiting,
hoping, longing, for a flicker of recognition from each of us.
With Your Merciful Love,
forgive us,
Lord.

With the help of Your Dearest Mother,
we will strive to follow in your way of littleness.

Amen.

"The Cross in My Pocket"
I carry a cross in my pocket
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I am a Christian
No matter where I may be.

This little cross is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm
It isn't meant to protect me
From every principal harm.

It's not for identification
For all the world to see
It's simply an understanding
Between my savior and me.

When I put my hand in my pocket
To bring out a coin or a key
The Cross is there to remind me
Of the price He paid for me.

It reminds me too to be thankful
For my blessings day to day
And to strive to serve Him better
In all that I do and say.

It's also a daily reminder
Of the peace and comfort I share
With all who know my matter
And give themselves to His care.

So I carry a cross in my pocket
Reminding no one but me
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life
If only I'll let Him be.

I asked for strength that I might advance;
God made me weak that I might obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things;
I was given Grace that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of man;
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
But I was given Life that I might enjoy all things.

"Heaven's Grocery Store"
As I was walking down life's highways, along time ago,
I saw a sign that read, "Heaven's Grocery Store."
As I got a little closer the door came open wide and
when I came to myself I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said,
"My child shop with care."

Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store and
all you couldn't carry you could come back the next day.
First I got some patience, love was in the same row.
Further down was understanding, you need that
everywhere you go.

I got a box or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith.
I couldn't miss the Holy Spirit for it was all over
the place.

I stopped to get some strength, and courage to help me run the race.
By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I
needed some grace.
I didn't forget salvation, for salvation that was free
so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.

Then I started up the counter to pay my grocery bill
for I thought I'll have everything to do my master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and I just had to put it in
for I know when I stopped outside I would trodden into sin.

Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Song and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."

Again, I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?"
The angel smiled again and said,
"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."

"God's Love at Work"
We can see
God's love at work
In the warmth
of helping hands,
In the comfort
that a gentle word imparts,
In the thoughtfulness
that offers cheer,
In love that understands...

We can see
God's love at work
in caring hearts.

You have a certain way
of pleasing others very much,
A certain way of doing things
with just that special touch...
The pleasure that
you've brought is more
than you know ---

That's why this brings
more thanks to you
than words could ever show.

Heavenly Father,
In the midst of all the hurry
of another busy day,
keep my eyes open
to the beauty of Your creation.

Let me take time to enjoy life's little blessings
- the happy sounds of children playing,
the fresh, clean scent
of meadows after the rain,
the welcome sight of a friendly smile.

Don't let me get so caught up with myself
and my demanding schedule
that I lose the strength I always gain
from my quiet moments with You.

Help me today to be at peace, O Lord,
with myself, my world, and You.

Amen.

This is your word of assurance
for the examinations that lies ahead.
You have had many anxious moments.
You have been fearful and dismayed.
But hitherto have I helped you.
I have not brought you this far to desert you
to leave you
to let you find your way alone.
I have begun a work of faith in your life.
I have watched your progress
I have strengthened you.
Thus your confidence and your courage
can be quickened by this thought:
I have brought you this far
and I will see you through.
But child, this is how
you shall go forth and win the victory---
Not by your might,
nor by your power but,
by My Spirit.
You have leaned upon your own understanding.
But you understanding has failed you.
Therefore I will give you the Spirit of
understanding.
You have applied your own wisdom.
But your wisdom has not been sufficient.
Therefore my Spirit of wisdom shall rest upon you.
Know this---
That in all you set to do,
My Spirit will empower you
and work a miracle for you and
glory and honor will come to Me.
Look not to your lack of wisdom.
Look not to your weaknesses.
But look on to Me.
I remember you are dust and know you are fearful.
But I have loved you with an everlasting love.
I will continue My faithfulness to you.
Understand this:
My grace is sufficient for you.
My power is perfected in your weakness.
What is done will be accomplished by
the power of My Spirit in you.
You will see tremendous victory wrought by My
hand.

"THE LAMB"
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed,
By the storm and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and he is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
William Blake

He is always wrong!
WHO?
The priest of course...

The priest is always wrong! Because...

If he is preaching longer than twenty minutes,
he makes the people stay away from the church;

If he preaches less than ten minutes,
he did not prepare his sermon!

If his voice is too strong during sermon,
he is shouting;

If his voice has the normal strength,
people do not understand what he is preaching about.

If he owns a car,
he is worldly;

If he does not own one,
he does not go with the times.

If he goes out to visit families,
he is never at home;

If he does not visit them,
he does not care for his parishioners.

If he asking for contributions,
he is after money;

If he does not do it,
he is too proud for that

If he takes his time in the confessional,
he is too slow;

If he makes it faster,
he has no time for his penitents.

If he begins his mass on time,
his watch is advanced;

If he begins a minute or two later,
he keeps the people waiting.

If he renovates his church,
he throws away the money;

If he does not do it,
he allows everything to rot away.

If he is young,
he has no experience;

If he is old,
he should retire.

As long as he lives, there are always people who know better;
If he dies, there is nobody to take his place.

"WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK WITH JESUS..."

When you want to talk to Jesus simply do it.
He always knows exactly what you mean.
Don't worry about special prayers or phrases,
He understands so well the thoughts between...
And even though He knows your cares and problems
He wants to hear about them everyday... And
in the silence of your prayer
He'll let His wisdom
Come through to you
and take your doubts away...
If you want to talk to Jesus
simply do it
And you'll see how soon
your worries start to mend.
You're sure to find
there is no kinder Listener
No wiser Counselor -
no dearer Friend.
