Baptism of Our Lord “Create a new life style in 2015: Definition A firm decision “to do or not to do” something; The act of resolving— upon an action, course of action or method or procedure. inventory RESOLUTIONS” from the God Squad! :) GS. Here we are in 2015 ………………. and many of us are making new year’s resolutions. Tomorrow is a new beginning... Will we be better thinner healthier tidier? What about today? GS. “Stop-Look and Listen;” What is going on in our lives? We need to change our habits, spiritual & physical disciplines! This New Year take a “spiritual inventory” of yourself. When you are working on changing your life style take one step at a time. Remember that a partly cloudy forecast is also partly sunny. Did you know that when a plane flies from San Francisco to Hawaii, it is off course 90% of the time, When our lives get off course turn on your spiritual auto pilot and correct your life’s destination. GS. Decide on acourse of action that you want to follow. Use your spiritual compass to direct your spiritual & physical goals. Our next public Rosary of Reparation for our nation's sins, especially abortion, and for reconciling our nation with God, will be 10 AM on Thurs., Jan. 22nd on Hwy 98 near the entrance of P.F. Chang's restaurant. “As a member of society & citizen of your country you must unite with the rest in making atonement...which Divine Justice requires for the public and national sins committed in the community in which you live...national sins must be expiated in this world for the very simple reason that they cannot be expiated in the next. -Rev. F.J. Remier, C.F.M. Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that His justice cannot sleep forever.” Thomas Jefferson INFO: J. McCollums 520-818-8651 or T. Herrick 850-267-0947. Something to think about!! “Stay to the left of but...” 1) I would go to Mass more, but it is boring. 2) I would pray more, but I have no time. 3) I would pray the rosary, but I forgot to do it 4) I would say the chaplet, but what is it? 5) I would go to Confession, but sports are on TV at that time. 6) I would read the Bible, but I don’t know where to start. 7) I would follow my resolutions, but I forgot what they were. Time is a Precious Gift. God Dispenses one second at a time. “Don’t waste it” The Soul is a garden; Sins are weeds; Virtues are the flowers, Prayer is the water and the Sacraments are the Sunlight Happy New Year from “The God Squad.” You are cordially invited to attend Saint Mary Catholic School’s Sixteenth Annual Brite Stars Gala Charity Benefit & Dinner Friday, Feb. 6, 2015 6:30 pm – 11:00 pm Monsignor Mullins Parish Life Center Tickets are on sale now in the school office or contact Kristin White at 243-8913.
