you wanna know something I suck at? i’ll tell you something I suck at - praying. •
it’s something i’ve criticized myself harshly on since long before RCIA began and have always felt slightly awkward at. so often i’ve felt like my prayers had to have a particular structure to them. that I had to use proper wording with big fancy Catholic terms when saying my prayers. that I had to have juuuust the right petitions to take to the Lord, or else He wouldn’t answer them. •
but that changed, just the other day when the lovely Jesus Himself interrupted my thoughts to tell me this: pray like a child.
y’all, I literally LOL’d. of course ♀️ why is it when we become adults (lol, still becoming..) we tend to over complicate things? •
when children pray, they don’t have a structure. they don’t search for the most intelligent sounding, fanciest words to use. they don’t pause and try to determine if what’s on their mind is worthy enough for the Lord to hear and answer. they say what’s on their heart. unfiltered. raw. simplistic. straight to the point.
now i know. • “Jesus has chosen to show me the only way which leads to the Divine Furnace of love; it is the way of childlike self-surrender, the way of a child who sleeps, afraid of nothing, in it’s father’s arms”. - Saint Therese of Lisieux .

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission on one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart." Mahatma Gandhi
This morning, our staff gathered to pray for our students and their families.
Lord, your Marist community gathers here now for prayer. We call on you to help us be people who will be sincere in our care for each other, authentic in our apostolic work and open to you, like Mary, in our prayer. May we be welcoming to each other and to all who visit our community. May we respond to your call and commit ourselves to the Marist way of life, given to us by Marcelline Champagnat. We make our prayer through Christ Our Lord.
St. Marcelline Champagnat, pray for us.
Mary, our Good Mother, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
And let us always remember, to pray for each other.

“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.
.
You see, we all do this. We all ‘tattle’ and complain and compare businesses. But I mean, let’s be honest — it’s not just business, right?
.
We compare our bodies... our jobs... our children.
.
But not only does all this complaining + comparing make us feel crappy, guess what — it also insults Jesus.”

A quick process video for a bible journaling entry, using one of the themed bible verse cards from Remain in my love 40 card set.
I've been longing to do a process video for a while now. I was able to sneak this one in while getting the new kit ready!

Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
have you stopped to witness the Lord today? .

Journaling today with one of the Remain in His Love journaling cards, and this one is perfect for today: Remain in His Love because He is true joy! No.matter.what. This is a great reminder! But if you stay in the Word, you just know it. It's one if those truths that slowly seeps in and strengthens your whole being. He is the Joy that cannot be taken away!
1 Peter 1:6
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.
Also this ties in so well with today's gospel reading from Luke 19:41-42 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed--or indeed ONLY ONE. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Yes, that treasure, that joy that cannot be taken away. How awesome! Remain in His Love...❤

I saw this portrait of Saint Rita in an antique store and fell in love with it, even though I didn’t know who the portrait depicted. But it was out of our budget at the time, so I didn’t buy it. Later that day, I mentioned how much I’d loved it in passing to my father-in-law, and a week later it showed up at my house. He’d driven more than an hour out of his way to get it for me. And as it turned out, a friendship with Saint Rita, the patron saint of difficult marriages, impossible causes, infertility and parenthood, was exactly what I needed over the next few years.
I’m so grateful that I was led to you, Saint Rita. Thank you for your intercession, and for your beautiful example of faith, holiness, courage, and trust. Please pray for us!
