Make me salt make me light, let Your holy fire ignite, Reveal Your glory in my life.
I am not ashamed to lift up Your holy name.
Make me salt make me light.

Beauty comes from within

I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.
~~ Faith Hill





Your Inner Beauty NEVER needs Makeup!


Love is...
God is more interested
 in the inner beauty 
of a person 
than the outer.

God is not concerned with outward appearance. He looks into our hearts and sees our true motives and desires, what is on the inside is much more important than how we dress up the outside.
Scripture:
“Your adornment should not be an external one: braiding the hair, wearing old jewelry, or dressing in fine clothes, but rather the hidden character of the heart, expressed in the imperishable beauty of a gentle and calm disposition, which is precious in the sight of God.” ~~ 1 Peter 3:3

 "But the LORD said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because
 I have rejected him.  God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The LORD looks into the heart." ~~ 1 Samuel 16:7

Month of May


By tradition, the Catholic Church dedicates each month of the  year to a certain devotion.  In May, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary.  This devotion arose among Jesuits in Rome in the late 18th century and quickly spread throughout the Western Church.  By the time of Pope Piux IX's declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854, it had become universal.  May crownings and other special May events in honor of Mary, such as public recitation of the rosary, stem from this time.

May, Month of Mary

  As May was the month of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, does it not follow that as May leads into June, Mary leads us to her the love of her Son, symbolized by His Sacred Heart.

Easter




Throughout the years of his active ministry, Jesus revealed the divine power at work in him through earthly parables and shared meals.  After his Resurrection from the dead, the disciples came to recognize him in the stranger who spoke to them of the Scriptures along the way when he broke bread with them.  In these post-Resurrection days, Jesus wants us to know him in the same way.  Every Mass follows the same pattern: we hear God's wisdom in the Liturgy of the Word; we taste God's love in the Liturgy of the Eucharist.



We continue to celebrate Easter.  I feel so special that Jesus gave his life for me.  My challenge now is what I can do for Him after he paid such a price for me to have the opportunity to go to heaven.  have you thought about what you might do?

Crystal Prisms



Remember that scene in Pollyanna, when Polly meets the town's grumpy old man and they end up stringing hundreds of crystal chandelier prisms in the windows? And then the whole entire room is filled with sunlight and rainbows? It's a moment of science, art and happiness... all rolled up in one! Now you can have rainbows on your walls, too!
