Sticks and Stones Wrap Up 11.16.2008
The old rhyme goes something like: “Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Jesus says to love to the point of death. Love can conquer all. Mother Teresa says “If we love until it hurts, there will be no more hurt, only love.”
This week and for the rest of your life, always let love shine through you. We were all created in god’s image - even teh person insulting you, laughing at you, etc. LOVE!
”It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thrist for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts for most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with you lives, teh will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.” -Pope John Paul II
Heroes Life Night Wrap-up 11.2.2009
Holiness is not a thing that is reserved for a few or for the elect. Through our Baptism, we have been ransomed and set on the path for holiness. Maybe we can’t fly, but we can live our lives following the examples of those that have gone before us and made it. The SAINTS are real heroes.
”Bold are you when they insult you and persecute… because of me, for your reward will be great in heaven.” Mt 5:11-12
Go Fish!! 10/26/2008 Life Night Wrap Up
Remember that no matter where you are in your life right now, God is calling you, like he called Peter, to be one of his followers. Being a follower mean. 1) Answering His call, 2) Conversion-encountering Him and allowing Him to reveal the areas in your life that need to change, and finally 3) meeting Him daily in Prayer.
Being His follower means there will be sacrifices, but the fullfillment you recieve is why you were created.

Heart of the Mystery - Paschal Mystery Life Night Wrap 10.12.2008
If we could sum up the faith of the Catholic Church in two words it would be the Paschal Mystery. At the heart of the Paschal Mystery - the suffering, the death, and the Resurrection - we find Jesus setting for us the ultimate example of how to live and how to love. This week remember that even in difficulties and temptation we can survive because we have a God who proved how much he loves us with his death. Cling to him always and follow his example.
