I hope your day is as beautiful a gift as mine. I wanted to share what our pastor shared in the bulletin which I thought was a great message. Dr. John Yzaguirre had presented the idea of the "House of Self" which has seven rooms: family, job, soul, friends, health, on-going education,and community/service. Each day we need to spend time in each room for balance in our life. PROBLEM: We tend to spend too much time in one or two rooms and so neglect the others. WE get unbalanced! In which rooms do you spend most of your time? Which rooms are you thus neglecting? Do you, like me, need to get more BALANCE in your life? Let's see what we can do about getting more "balanced". Best of luck....BLESSINGS....would love to hear about your rooms!

HAPPY CORPUS CHRISTI FEAST! Sunday we celebrate the feast of the "body of Christ"--one of my favorites. In our community when we were invested with the habit and received a new name, we also received a "predicate"...Sister NN "of ...." The "of" was the predicate. I chose "of the Sacred Host". Since childhood I have a deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament...so Corpus Christi, Sunday is my feast day too. All parishes in our archdiocese of Milwaukee, I believe, have one day of the week where they have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. People come in and spend time in adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition before the Blessed Sacrament. Our parish, St. Eugene's, has adoration on Tuesdays. Since I am between ministries, I take time in the morning to visit and chat with the Lord, exposed in the monstrance on the altar. I am very awed by the number of people who come spend time with the Lord. I love the peace and serenity of my time spent there. Renews my faith and hope. Strengthens me to live more generously and lovingly....a challenge at times. I hope you have this marvelous opportunity: exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. I promise you serenity and peace.
