Mindfulness

Lent often calls us to reflection, temperance, and putting our lives and goals into perspective. As we are in a season of reflection, I thought that mindfulness would be the perfect virtue to exercise this week.

Love- Love of Self and Love of Neighbor

Hey there! As we start the new year, I want to focus this week on my very favorite virtue: love. 

Attentiveness

Hey there! Get excited because the word of the week is... attentiveness!

Compassion

Hello again! Sorry it's been so long since I posted on here. Things have been pretty crazy. Nevertheless, the word of the week is compassion. 

Faith/ Trust

For the past two days I've reflected on what to write about today. I sifted through a couple of ideas, but nothing really stuck out to me. Then during adoration I kept noticing the word "faith" in all the Bible stories I was reading. I said to myself, "God, please, please don't let 'faith' be the word of the day. I'm going to look like the biggest in-your-face Catholic on the internet if I make 'faith' the word of the day." However, God was pretty adamant, and I don't mess with that kind of serendipity. On wards-

Gentleness

When I think of gentleness, I think of lambs and adorable bunnies. (My mother filled our house with rabbits due to her wonderful obsession, and they constantly remind me of gentleness.) Unless they are the rabbits from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", they are timid and weak, so they don't have much of a choice but to be gentle. God offers us a greater challenge. How can we be lambs in a world of wolves--in a world where we can choose to hurt or be hurt. Lambs and bunnies don't have that choice. 

Another dab of inspiration from our beloved Eeyore.
