From Mass


In today's readings at Mass, the following excerpt was one part that especially caught my attention:

"The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom
a light has shone."

For me, this spoke to me of how, even when things are sad and hard, I need to try to keep a strong focus on trying to do good, to be helpful and to be a servant to others.  I believe very sincerely, that by trying to turn my focus from my own selfish ideas, and working hard to do good things, and try to help others as best as I can and lead a life of service.... this is the real way to attain the mental/emotional state of happiness in life. To be otherwise, I believe, allows us to feel isolated and alone.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
