February! Second month of the year! I asked myself: "Am I keeping my New Year's Resolution?" Then I realized "I had not even made a resolution!" Too much going on in January. Are you keeping yours'? Do you even remember it? Not to worry; each moment is a gift from God for a new beginning. And here is a great suggestion:
Be constantly on the alert to thank God for all the good people and good things with which you are surrounded. It is amazing what blessings this practice brings. Besides giving due praise to God, it makes our hearts and minds happier. We cannot have ill feelings toward someone for whom we are giving thanks. And a few warm days in February can urge shy flowers to appear; a great source for giving thanks to God, our Creator.
We Victory Noll Sisters once had a Spiritual Director, Fr. Solanus Casey, who often reminded us, "Appreciation! It's the sign of intelligence". Great resolution!

¡Febrero! El segundo mes del año. Me pregunté: "¿Estoy perseverando en mi Resolución del Año Nuevo?" "¡Ni siquiera había hecho una resolución!" Enero tenía bastantes asuntos. ¿Estás tú guardando la tuya? ¿Aún la recuerdas? No hay que inquietarse; cada momento es un don de Dios para comenzar de nuevo, y aquí hay una gran sugestión:
Estar siempre alerto en dar gracias aDios por toda la buena gente y buenas cosas que nos rodean. Es asombroso, las bendiciones que nos trae en poner esto en práctica. Además de darle debidas alabanzas aDios, hace que nuestros corazones y mentes sean más felices. No podemos tener resentimiento hacia aquellos por quienes damos gracias. Unos pocos de días templados en febrero urgen que broten las flores; una gran fuente para dar gracias a Dios, nuestro Creador.
Nosotras, las Hermanas de Victory Noll, en un tiempo tuvimos un Director Espiritual, Fr. Solanus Casey, que a menudo nos hacía recordar, "¡agradecimiento es señal de inteligencia!" ¡Una gran resolución!

+ Proclaiming the Gospel + Working for Justice + Empowering the Laity
We want to minister to the culturally diverse Catholic population of this country, proclaiming Jesus Christ through evangelization, education and/or Christian formation. We would like to offer a solid Catholic teaching and ministries that speak to the needs of the faith communities, empowering the Laity, dedicating our prayer and ministry to the proclamation of God's Kingdom.
That is why we have become part of a network of religious communities collaborating to assist home mission dioceses in their efforts to develop lay leadership and ministry. This is an initiative of the Home Missions Leadership Conference and the Congar Institute for Ministry Development. READ MORE
