Index of This Month
 

It is a mark of an intelligent and responsible man to plan his future and the future of his family. Organisation and the know how to manage one's time is a virtue.

For a Christian, his plans and projects must be in conformity with God's will and the means he undertakes to fulfill his plans and projects should be fair, just and honest. Above all, he should rely on God's providence to lead him the way God wills in his future. Relying upon God's providence is to trust God and have unshakeable confidence in the goodness of God who leads our life. So far in life God has led us through many ups and downs. This should inspire us with confidence that He will lead us all the way in life provided we are open and we allow Him to lead us.



Lord, help us to have more confidence in Your care and goodness; help us also to believe with our hearts as well that You do not stir confusion in our lives but what You desire is that we do Your will.

DAILY OFFERING
Eternal Father, I offer You everything I do this day; my thoughts, words, joys and sufferings. Grant that, vivified by the Holy Spirit and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, my life this day may be of service to You and to others. I also pray that all those preparing for marriage discover in Sacrament the source of Christ's grace for living a fithful and fruitful love. Amen.

PRAYING WITH THE CHURCH
INTENTION
That Christians may use literature, art and the mass-media to greater advantage in order to favour a culture which defends and promotes the values of the human person.
