Guidance from Franciscolean 9-15-25

Your strength resides inside of you and it lies within your spiritual self.  Go within through meditation and prayer to connect with your higher spiritual self on a daily basis.  This is a good way to anchor yourself and to ground yourself for the upcoming day’s activities.  Go within whenever you are feeling stressed or unsure during the day.  The candle is always lit so you will always find your way through the darkness.  Amen ~ Franciscolean

It is important to adopt a spiritual routine every morning that will help to ground you for the upcoming day. Let’s face it, you can wake up refreshed and in a great mood and as soon as you encounter another being, it can be crushed instantly. Be careful with who you let influence you. Choose people who uplift you and don’t want to bring you down. You are in control of your emotions but it takes a lot of practice to learn not to act with a knee jerk reaction. Meditation and prayer practiced on a daily basis will help you to fine-tune the control of emotions. We are all a work in progress. Go out and enjoy the day and strive to put a smile on the face of everyone you encounter. ~Laura
