When you meditate on the Fifth Sorrowful Mystery, the crucifixion, think about how Jesus gave up everything worldly to follow God’s will. He asks the same of us when he tells us to take up our cross and follow him. He implies that we must give up what is worldly as he did.

I try to live according to this saying: “Work smarter, not harder.” The smart way to approach your day is to get as much help as you can. Who better to help you throughout the day than God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mary, and the saints? They will never be in a bad mood or too busy to help you. But you have to approach them. The earlier the better. That’s why starting your day with prayer is so effective. It acts as a preventative measure so that you don’t get overwhelmed by life’s challenges.

Unfortunately, while many of us take our physical, mental, and emotional health seriously, we too often let our spiritual health deteriorate.

These spiritual illnesses and deaths are just as serious as any physical illness. And yet, we don't treat them as such.

Are you rejecting teachings that have brought true happiness to millions of people over thousands of years because they seem difficult or irrelevant? Are you happier as a result?

What's your personal spring cleaning going to be?

When one goes chooses Hell, two tragedies occur. First is the poor soul that will be forever tormented. Second is the universal Church which is now weaker.

While the Church has always been under assault, the Covid19 pandemic has weakened our ability to defend the truth.
