NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT LIFE IS

 

A lovely passage attributed to Pope Francis (but i didn’t verify). So many “wow” gems to mull on, sentence by sentence until we interiorise them....

Rivers do not drink their own water; 

trees do not eat their own fruit; 

the sun does not shine on itself 

and flowers do not spread their fragrance 

for themselves. 

Living for others is a rule of nature. 

We are all born to help each other. 

No matter how difficult it is…

Life is good when you are happy; 

but much better 

when others are happy because of you.

Let us all remember then 

that every changing colour of a leaf is beautiful 

and every changing situation of life is meaningful, 

both need very clear vision. 

So do not grumble or complain, 

let us instead remember that 

Pain is a sign that we are alive, 

Problems are a sign that we are strong

 and Prayer is a sign we are not alone. 

If we can acknowledge these truths 

and condition our hearts and minds, 

our lives will be more meaningful, 

different and worthwhile. “ 

May we consciously make today a beautiful day as we surrender our battles (interiorly and exteriorly) to the Holy Spirit and rest in His peace and tranquility!
