Greetings Prayer Warriors,
I don’t know of any families that are perfect, only those
that look perfect from the outside. In
reality, every family is disordered or dysfunctional in some way. Most just learn to put the fun into
dys”fun”ctional. It is how we get
through the day, the week, the year, life!
We pray because of our lack of perfection. We will not see perfection this side of
heaven, but we can at least hope we are walking toward it! We are
most blessed to have a loving and merciful God who continues to pour out his
grace upon us. So let’s start the walk
to perfection, even if we take only take baby steps. Here’s an acrostic to use as your stepping
stones:
Persist in daily prayer for yourself and
your family
Embrace your own cross because someone
else’s isn’t going to look any better than yours.
Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day.
Focused quiet time for prayer is a must,
even if it is just 5-10 minutes/day
Every thought, word, and deed can be used
to praise God so don’t waste a one of them!
Contemplate God’s love for you by
contemplating His sacrifice for you.
Trustful surrender to His will is
necessary, as we can achieve nothing on our own
It is in giving that we receive. Be generous with your time, your talent,
& your resources.
Our Blessed Mother will be your guide & advocate. There is nothing He will refuse
her!
No sin is greater than His mercy.
It is never too late to start saying yes to God. Take the first step on the stone, our Rock
and our foundation!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Invite some family members to walk the path to
perfection. Pass it on!
