Change my Heart

It is the feast day of St. Augustine of Canterbury today! 

"Hope has two beautiful daughters: their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." St. Augustine of Canterbury   

This quote really spoke to my heart. Our little community grieves and gathers together with heavy hearts, angry hearts, sorrow filled hearts and broken hearts...But also courageous hearts.   

I went to Mass this morning with my mom. 

The beautiful homily by Fr. Reuben inspired me.

Jesus changed the blind man's life by healing him. 

He wants to change our lives too.

Instead of choosing anger, I want to choose courage.

Jesus is calling us to look at our hearts.

Change our hearts, Lord! 

"With God's grace every one of us can change." Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bible in a Year  

Do not wait for tomorrow.

Change my heart TODAY, O God!   

 "Take Courage; get up, Jesus is calling you." Mark 10:49
