Lessons from Fr. John, SJ

  •  Our God is a God of opportunities
  •  "It sounds crazy, so ok." - What a fellow Jesuit during novitiate described as his vocation story ;)
  •  If we say yes, we can go forward
  •  Leaving our options open is not saying yes to anything.  It does not not help us go forward.
  • Pray through your activities.
  • "God, today is really Your day.  It's not my day, it's Your day." - Possible morning offering :)
  • If we go through our day praying through all our activities and giving them to God, we can accomplish what God wants (Not necessarily what we wanted to do), and we can move from activity to activity with a sense of peace; no rushing <= How I was last semester ;)
  • We don't have time to do everything.  We might have to say no to something in order to say yes to something good.  
  • "God: How do You want this relationship to be?"  If we put all our trust in God He will take care of everything.  0 = )  (It really works out... Think of last semester, World Youth Day in Rio, and coming to Campion [Jesuit] College).  0 = )
  • We need to eat and sleep.  There's a time to rest, to be with friends, and be alone.  Think of Ecclesiastes 3.  0 = )  Fr. John is an advocate of me taking naps between classes if I need to.  Ashuhaus!  :)  Praise God!  :) 
 
 
Rezamos: Nossa Senhora Aparecida, rogai por nós...  Ajuda-nos a fazer sempre a vontade de Deus.  SZ
