USCSI REFLECTIONS

Matthew 19:3-12

We are all busy in search of the perfect situation, the perfect community, the perfect spouse, the perfect job always thinking that I was meant to “be” something else; I was meant to be “doing” something else and we end up doubting ourselves. My friends, the beginning and foundation of a solid spirituality is to accept myself with all its limitations and to be who I am. I must be true to myself as a person, before I can be true to myself as a priest, religious, teacher, nurse. Happiness is an inside job.
