The spiritual life is not complicated, but it is difficult.  One way to help us focus on the ordinary of life is to live the Seven Salesian Virtues, they seem simply, but there are surprisingly hard to live each day, however, if you live them your life will be filled with glimpses of eternal joy.

Seven Salesian Virtues to make the ordinary, extraordinary

         1. Endure Patiently

         2. See the Bright Side

         3. Show Good Humor

         4. Stay Cheerfully Excusing

         5. Put on a Good Face

         6. Be Appreciative

         7. Speak Gently and Show Courtesy

 

May God Be Praised!

A thank you goes out to my son Brian who shared Charles Spurgeon's thought on Hope, and as he [Brian] "endures patiently" while his wife recovers.
