Happiness at Work “Master, it is good that we are here.” Luke 9:33
“Why shouldn’t our lives be full of brightness, goodness, productivity, and growth? We must hope that every decision we make, every action we perform, will take us in the right direction—the direction necessary for happiness. Even our mistakes can be cause for optimism by offering us opportunities for learning and greater awareness. Happiness is difficult to define. It’s a personal thing. For some, it is rare and only brought on by extraordinary circumstances. I, on the other hand, am most happy with ordinary things: dinner with friends, ministering at a hospital bed, a walk in the neighborhood, good conversation, a hug. Since each of us is unique, what makes one person happy may have the opposite effect upon another. If we want happiness to be more than an irregular and passing feeling, then we must make a sound and strong commitment to make our own happiness. Abraham Lincoln said, “People are about as happy as they choose to be.” Knowing that we’re in the position to conjure up and shape our own happiness is precious knowledge. From there we can learn to bring into our lives the things that make us happy and keep them there, rather than wait for the irregular visits. HANDWORK Collect as many memories of happiness as you can. Keep them in a journal. Encourage your children to start their own journals. They will serve as a reservoir of strength when the clouds roll in, when you’re wallowing in misery, or whenever you need it the most.
HEART WORDS Jesus, help me to create happiness in my life through patient and deliberate effort. Amen.”

Second Sunday of Lent We move from the desert to the mountain of the Transfiguration and we are given a glimpse of the Resurrected Christ. But to share in his glory, we must share in the mission that leads to his suffering and death. What death must we die to share Christ’s glory? Jesus’ mission was to the poor and the vulnerable, the outcast and the sinner. Are we ready? Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma Nos movemos del desierto a la montaña de la Transfiguración y se nos da un vistazo de lo que es la Resurrección de Cristo. Pero, para compartir en su gloria, debemos compartir en la misión que lleva al sufrimiento y muerte ¿Qué muerte debemos morir para compartir la gloria de Cristo? La misión de Cristo fue hacia los pobres y vulnerables, los rechazados y los pecadores ¿Estamos listos para morir para nosotros mismos junto con los rechazados para poder compartir de la vida con Cristo?
