Remaining Faithful In Daily Duties

The Little flower hated needle point, one day she was doing needle point and she dropped the needle again and she went to pick it up and she heard a voice, "pick up a needle and save a soul."

Remaining faithful in daily duties means we do them but we offer them up in prayer. This is what is meant to pray always.

If you have grand-babies or other family members who still wear diapers and you promised to watch them for whom ever; that means every task that is done to take care of them; you offer it up; as Jesus told the Little Flower when she was doing her daily duties.

When you are cooking, cleaning, sowing, needle point, writing, driving, bath room breaks, getting something to drink, open a door, carrying groceries, pull out a chair for you or someone else, changing the diaper, wiping the nose, feeding the dog, work, doing the laundry, taking medicine, fixing the house, car, bike, etc. moving chairs and couches, coaching, watching ball games, video taping for the sports team, medical work, everything that is good and moral; give it up to God and save a soul.

Right now, if you have gone to Confession; our past sins are no more; God doesn't even know them; they are erased and that is how we should think; don't care or worry about your sinful past, but stay faithful right now to the Sacrament of Penance and Eucharist; this will make you great saints.

We must give everything we do to God and if we do that; we are on the way to saint hood. Now, when we give our entire life to God to pray always, we mustn't forget our own special devotions we pray also.

We also must read and know The Catechism of the Catholic Church; to know all the teachings of the Church. Scripture, Spiritual reading; Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Life of St. Teresa of Avila, Interior Castle, The letters of the Little Flower, Writings by St. Augustine, writings by Pope Benedict XVI, Mass and Confession very frequently; we can receive Jesus twice in the Eucharist daily; but Confession every day if we need it. The Diary of St. Faustina. All those writings by the saints.

Remain Faithful and God bless
