NOVEMBER 26, 2020 "Would that I could exhaust myself in acts of thanksgiving and gratitude towards this Divine Heart, for the great favor He shows us, in deigning to accept our help to make Him known, loved and honored; He reserves infinite blessings for all those who devote themselves to this work." St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Mary's Intimate Union with the Holy Spirit Meditation "The Immaculata is the Mediatrix of all graces, because she belongs to the Holy Spirit, by virtue of a most intimate and vital union with the Holy Spirit. That is why through her we come to Jesus and to the Father." (KW 1286)... Prayer of Consecration O Immaculata, I renew my consecration to you. May I come to a more intimate and vital union with the Holy Spirit through you. Please intercede that ... The example of the saints may motivate us to give our best in the spiritual journey. (November intention)

Christ tells us that if we are to join him, we shall travel the way he took. It is surely not right that the Son of God should go his way on the path of shame while the sons of men walk the way of worldly honor. St. John of Ávila

It is an error to seek to banish the devout life from the solider's guardroom, the mechanic's workshop, the prince's court, or the domestic hearth. While a purely contemplative devotion cannot be practiced in these outer vocations, there are other kinds of devotion well-suited to lead those with a secular calling along the paths of perfection. St. Francis de Sales from Introduction to the Devout Life

Management Tip of the Day Today’s Tip Nervous About Public Speaking? Try This. Contrary to popular belief, confident public speaking isn’t about getting rid of your nerves. The secret is to reframe your anxiety as excitement. Here are four steps you can take before your next big speech or presentation. First, take a few minutes to center yourself. Pause and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Next, ask yourself, "Why is this speech, this topic, or this a...udience important to me?" Say the answer out loud. Then, visualize the entire presentation from start to finish and be sure to imagine it going incredibly well! What's the best-case scenario? What did you do right? How did you carry yourself? How did you communicate the information? Finally and this is the easiest step listen to a song that gives you a little boost. Pick one that brings a smile to your face and fills you with positive energy (no matter how corny). Practicing these rituals before every presentation will help you make use of your nervous energy instead of being thwarted by it.
