God's Way - The Road to Kindness: 03-24-2019

Our Lenten Kindness Program is fully underway. Many parish members shared with us that they can feel the kindness coming through this Lenten Season! We also heard from many of our students that they have already completed their kindness act! We could feel their excitement and see how happy it made them to share their Red Heart of Kindness! We thank those in our parish that are sharing their kindness this Lenten Season.
The Lenten season is one of love and on this weekend, we wanted to share with you excerpts from an article by Ralph Marston on “Respond with love!” We shared some of these words in other bulletins.

Let love be your first response, for your sake, and for everyone’s sake!
Advance goodness in the world, not pain or outrage!
love always has a place!
love frees you from the burdens of judgment, retribution
and the downward spiral they engender!
When love is your first response, you won’t waste energy or anger, blame or conflict!
love can soothe the stress of the situation and melt away anxiety!
No matter where others are coming from, you can operate from a perspective of love!
Seek to act from genuine love and you’ll uncover the most beneficial options!
love will not magically solve all the problems!
love will challenge you to work on truly making the situation better!

In the remaining weeks of this Lenten Season, let’s all follow God’s Way – “The Road to Kindness” and “Respond with love!”
Continue to get inspired and share you RED HEART of Kindness with someone!!
