How to Live “The Little Way”
Ever been discouraged by the great saints of the Church? Does all that arduous fasting, all those hours of uninterrupted prayer feel completely out of reach and unattainable? St Therese of Lisieux could relate, and so was born her “Little Way”.
Fr Columba shares his insights into her “Little Way” and how we can live it daily.
The Secret Sauce of Holiness
How is it that a young French girl who entered the convent at 15 years old and died at only 24 years old would become a Doctor of the Church? How is it that on her deathbed her own sisters thought her life was so unremarkable that they struggled to write her obituary?
Today, Fr. Mike reflects on how the “Little Way” of St. Thérèse of Lisieux contains a secret to holiness for every modern Catholic.
Are You Empathetic?
“Empathy is a sign that you care about other people, that the well-being and happiness of other people matters to you. It’s all about being able to tune into other people’s feelings and emotions.
Here are 11 Signs You are an Empathetic Person:
1. You are a good listener.
2. You have a keen sense of how other people are feeling.
3. You care deeply about other people.
4. You go out of your way to help others who are suffering.
5. People are comfortable opening up to you and sharing their problems.
6. Tragic events, even those that you are not directly involved in, stir a sadness in your soul and can even feel overwhelming.
7. Social situations sometimes drain or overwhelm you.
8. You consider what feelings your words and actions will provoke in others.
9. You struggle to set and maintain boundaries in relationships with other people.
10. You sense when people are being dishonest.
11. Other people seek you out for advice.
Empathy is a sign of high emotional intelligence. In our quest to become the-best-version-of-ourselves empathy is an indispensable tool.
Have a great day, and remember don’t just be yourself, be the best version of yourself!”
Become More Selfless Than Selfish
A Prayer
Loving Father,
Here I am.
I trust that you have an incredible plan for me. Transform me. Transform my life.
Everything is on the table.
Take what you want to take and give what you want to give.
Transform me into the person you created me to be, so I can live the life you envision for me.
I hold nothing back;
I am 100 percent available.
How can I help?
Amen.
