Resolutions

With the 50 year celebration of Vatican Council II, Pope Benedict XVI is encouraging Catholics to make resolutions for the upcoming year of faith. There are various things that I can do in order to grow in my spirituality. 1. I can help the dear neighbor. More often than not we find ourselves busy in our own things and forget to do kind acts for those around us, even though they may need them. 2. I can make a conscious effort to be kind to those around me, extending a smile to everyone I meet and not redirecting hate or anger towards them. 3. I can pray each day an acquaintance, that they may be happy, healthy, and at peace. 4. I can continue to volunteer my time with the less fortunate. 5. I can participate in mass to the best of my ability each week. Some weeks that may mean clapping and stomping in praise and others it may mean being an active listener. Overall, I think there are multiple ways that I can participate.
