January 1 – NEW YEARS DAY

A reflective start...new year, new begginings, redirection...


Feast Day of Mary the Mother of God- by Rev FR MARIO P. RIVERA

1.DESIGN A LIFE – what do u want out of your life, what are your plans for your life? what do you still want to happen in your life? if u have a design, a plan in your head youll do everything to achieve that.

God made you and gave you your life, so make it useful! everything you do good or bad affects the people around you whether you realize it or not.

" If u think you can, your right, if you think you cant, your also right" – WINSTON CHURCHILL. It matters what you think you can do.

To achieve your dreams How? start with positive thinking – all things will be easier. NO excuses. Write it plot it,then just do it.

2. PRIORITIZE – WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE?? putting into order the hierarchy of values you have,
why do u work ? for what ? why?

When what we do equivalents NO TIME for the people/reason we do things for ... then
we may have to re-organize our priorities.

So what are your priorities, LIST IT, the time is now! All we do affects others, attitudes affect others.

3. PUT THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY IN FRONT
Today is the Feast of the MOther of GOd, what better way than to look up to her for example, for help, for guidance, often times to keep the peace in our conversations specially with those whose beliefs and religions are different from us we refrain from talking about her, we are ashamed to talk about her, were afraid to rock the boat, we hide her, we hide our love for her, to think that we should be proud of her ,

to think that the next most important person in the NEW TESTAMENT aside from JESUS is the Blessed Mary, we should be ashamed in hiding our love for her, One of the best best gifts God gave us is the Blessed Mary.

As for those who do not believe in her who contest Catholics belief for her, we can only say that : we have the received the very best gift from God that you don’t have and that’s the blessed Mary,

a Mom who loves us, pacifies us , helps us, consoles us, who helps be our bridge,a mom who only almost always wants whats good for us, our greatest intercessor, and will always be there for us too til the last day.

Be the change you wish to see in this world!



what i learned:

design my life, plan, make no excuses in implementing it,prioritize, to not forget Mama MAry is there for me, and that in order not to be frustrated with how people bungle up things and when things dont go my way .. to try to be the change i wish to see in this world.

this corner is for those who we want to forgive and those for whom we pray for forgiveness, let us ask Jesus to help us and open our hearts to forgiveness and forgiving. Look at the Cross and tell Jesus, Lord i want to forgive, im finding it hard to do so, help me. I chose to forgive and leave everything in Your loving hands.
