Advent Ping!
Make your long term and short term goals.
Work backward from the end point and you will have your daily work plan.
You’ll have weekly goals, quarterly goals and yearly goals but, having goals and working toward them everyday removes the worry.
Over simplified but, for those who get it, they get it.
Excellent advice.
Thank you! My RCIA meets Thursday’s, so last week we did not have class. I miss it! The time there is quite comforting.
And yet the rules of the Catholic Church are set up so that a Catholic never knows if he has enough “points” (I.e. Good behavior exceeds the bad) to get into heaven. That’s the worst kind of worry.
Thank you.
What are you talking about? Most of you posters do not know amything about the Catholic Church. I would suggest learning your own faith before venturing onto a Catholic thread with that kind of childlike statement.
I am putting you on my prayer list. :)
True enough.
Sean Hannity always says: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” (John 14:1) NOW I know that it's from John. WONDERFUL stuff. But, then it would be since it is from the Bible.
Lol. You tell the yeller. Some folks just "protest too much" taking more comfort in criticizing our faith than being "Christian" in their OWN.
Odd, isn't it?
People who are CONFIDENT in their own faith have NO NEED to criticize others, do they?
It’s not a worry if one avails himself/herself of the Sacraments frequently. (Reconciliation, Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick when ill, etc.)
**People who are CONFIDENT in their own faith have NO NEED to criticize others, do they? **
BTTT and then to high heaven!
Sometimes I just get the giggles over the “attacks”.
Speaking of recnciliation. Funny story. My priest in my old parish. I sure do miss him. Anyway. We were having a Pennace service, their were priests from the local area and all. So I went up for my turn. I did my thing and then we got to talking about Free Republic and the many occassions for sin. OMG! We totally forgot that there is a bunch of people all around. Not that anyone could hear us, but when I finally got back to the pew, my nephew looks at me with huge eyes and says “what did you do?” LOL
Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things. The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you. (Phillipians 4:6-9)
Excellent quote.
