This man knows what he’s talking about and he’s on the side of women. Honestly everyone can use this book to navigate the common pitfalls of modern dating, even if you’re a Christian.

Ahhh I just know I need to reread this as soon as I am done with this first read.

Reminding myself that even in Ignatian 30-day retreat, the weeks do not mean literally 7 days in a week… so it is with me with this 30-day personal retreat 🤣

Whoa.

entering day 5

reading for the month of July. I’ve read this sporadically but I intend to reread it more attentively.

Oh Gosh. Why did it take so long for me to befriend this lovely saint?

following with Hallow App’s #Pray40

Ooh ooh I took a peek and I am hooked!! This and The Reed of God are going to accompany me through Advent!!

Reading this for Advent Study with Abiding Together podcast! 🫶🏼

Listening on audiobook. So far it felt like listening to a friend talking about her memories of her beloved mother and how food is involved in it.

Wow the author's got so many tips on going minimalist, and he made it brief for each points so it doesn't go round and round.. totally true to his proposed concept, even to his writings

hooked!

"the Offering to Merciful Love not only consoles the Heart of Jesus, but it also (paradoxically) heals our hearts by wounding them with love." A heart that have compassion for others.

Wow.

Day 14. Entering week 3. Why haven't I get to know St. Therese of Lisieux all these time?

"until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart. When we attach judgment to receiving help, we knowingly or unknowingly attach judgment to giving help."

is Brené a Christian? I felt like a lot of what she's sharing here is so aligned to Christian views.

This book with Haemin Sunim's book goes hand in hand!

Day 9 and will be making the act of consecration on July 16, The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which is so lovely bcs St. Therese herself was a Carmelite. Fr. Michael Gaitley writes short chapters with care.

Interesting. Would love to see how they will make this doable.

"The reason we think we are better than others
is that inferiority still lurks within us.
A sense of superiority exists
because of a sense of inferiority"

Been highlighting too much!! Everything written here makes SO much sense.

Day 28 - If discouragement overwhelms you, think of the faith of Joseph; if anxiety has its grip on you, think of the hope of Joseph; if exasperation or hatred seizes you, think of the love of Joseph, who was the first man to set eyes on the human face of God in the person of the Infant conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

I've been called out too many times by Fr. Jacques. I really wished I read this sooner. I read this verrry slowly because of the depth of his writings regarding how Holy Spirit works. Also debunks a lot of my false thinking. Gosh!

Another kind of spiritual reading where you can not read it swiftly because how the writings are corelated to you. I always pictured I am the prodigal son, but reading the hurt the elder son experience... Proves how oblivious we are of him, also how he is in each of us too.
