Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, January 18, 2025
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is
given for some benefit. - 1 Corinthians 12:7 St. Paul tells us that God
has blessed each of us for a reason. How has God blessed you? Are you using
your gifts according to Gods plan? How are you helping to build Gods kingdom
here on earth? Remember that if you dont do the work God planned for you, no
one else can do it. Live the life God has intended for you. Take time to
discern your charisms (gifts from the Holy Spirit). Experience the supernatural
Peace and Joy God desires for each of us.

Do Something Beautiful for God The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
January 17 I fear just one thing: money!
Greed-the love of money-was what motivated Judas to sell Jesus.
January 18 Only God knows our true needs.
January 19 Life is an opportunity, benefit from
it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a
challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life
is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an
adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy
it. Life is life, fight for it.
January 20 Be faithful in small things because
it is in them that your strength lies.
January 21 The world is changed by your example
not your opinion.
January 22 I prefer you to make mistakes in
kindness than work miracles in unkindness.
January 23 Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself
in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the
depth of our hearts.
