#3 kept popping out at me. Jealousy, envy, resentment: those are my "frequent flyer" trips to the Confessional. I have such a hard time letting go of old hurts. For the sake of peace, I keep quiet, but sometimes it just eats me up inside if I don't constantly fight it. It seems like the persons involved just know what buttons to push, and I am so easily susceptible to it. Please keep me in prayer!

On another note, anybody notice the picture with the lady sitting looking in the mirror? It took me awhile- the skull popped out first...

God bless you!

It’s one of those double pictures, huh?

**Jealousy, envy, resentment**

We had a visiting priest yesterday who asked us to re-read all the readings from 1 John, where he keeps telling us to love God and love our neighbor.

Then he said this is difficult sometimes because these people may have hurt us.

So he said “Pray for them.”
Do kind things for them.
Speak well of them.

And do not pray for yourself except to ask for the wisdom to do the above three things.

Powerful. I prayed for a lady off and on all day yesterday after that sermon.
