人生的七个忠告六：阴影是条纸龙，命运一直藏匿在我们的思想里，许多人走不出人生各个不同阶段或大或小的阴影，并非因为他们天生的个人条件比别人要差多远，而是因为他们没有思想要将阴影纸龙咬破，也没有耐心慢慢地找准一个方向，一步一步地向前，直到眼前出现新的洞天。

The Secret

One day, one friend asked another,

" How is it that you are always so happy ?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down. "

With her eyes smiling, she said,

" I know the Secret! "
" What secret is that ? "
To which she replied,
" I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others. "

"The Secret is this:

 
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that ' Secret ', I am happy. "

四.让
to give is to gain

    

大是大非，不能退让，但小事情，尽量听别人的意见。能按别人的意见办的，

就不坚持己见。退一步，海阔天空。而且如果是按别人的意见办的，错误也就有所

分担。

五.淡 at ease

一切都看淡些。对名利，对金钱，对感情。没有什么是离开了就不能活了的东西。

得失也是辩证的，你在这方面损失了，你的心灵会得到释放，会有机会

去尝试别的选择。越是看得淡，就越是心灵平静，就越能体会平凡的幸福。

六.平 ordinary

是平凡，是平淡，是平衡。有棱角的坏处，就是让别人咬起你来很容易下口。

思想是存在于工作之外的。如果一个人，能把思想和行为统一在工作之中，

那是有决定权力的领导。有句针对事业单位的工作人员的网络时髦语言：

“思想有多远，你就滚多远。”在事业单位，你的思想仅可以存在于你有

权利作决定的范围内。尽管平凡的人，没有什么色彩，但往往生存的时间最长。

人要活得精彩，首先是要能活下去，而不被踢出局。有朋友说“对工作，

要信奉唯物主义；对生活，要信奉唯心主义。”因此，我们需要有亲密的朋友，

要有自己展露思想的安全空间。在那里，我们就可以显示我们的不平凡了。

淡定自己的六招

一.静 silence
少说话，多倾听。因为爱说话的人，本就失去了一分宁静的美。而且，言多必失。

有句话是，三思而后行，三思而后言。即使是网络这个靠语言交流的平台，多言也

会让人讨厌的。想说话了，就对自己说，不要对别人说，因为现在几乎没有人愿意听。

                                         二.缓 slow down

           有句训诫是，讷于言而敏于行，而我认为，在某种情况和某种环境下，

应该是，讷于言而缓于行。我已经尝过“缓于行”的甜头了。做事，你太快了，

有时候，你刚做好，领导认为不需要做了. 而且，你太热心，一种微妙的心理，

他又会不那么舒服，以为里面是不是有什么特别之处。缓，还有个好处，就是

可以在别人失败的基础上，走成功的捷径。反正不是做生意，不需要抢市场。

关键是太能干的人，会成为嫉妒和防备的对象。

三.忍 patient

 面对不公，别气愤，别宣泄。一来气愤伤身体，二来气愤不解决问题。“有肚量

去容忍那些不能改变的事，有勇气去改变那些可能改变的事，有智能去区别上述两类事。

”这是成功者要具备的三个素质。既然有些事情不是个人能力所能作为的，

何不冷眼旁观呢？宣泄不满，只会让旁人看戏。

the coming Season in the Catholic Church

Season of Advent

In the Catholic Church, Advent is a period of preparation, extending over four Sundays, before Christmas. The word Advent comes from the Latin advenio, "to come to," and refers to the coming of Christ. This refers, first of all, to our celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas; but second, to the coming of Christ in our lives through grace and the Sacrament of Holy Communion; and finally, to His Second Coming at the end of time.

Our preparations, therefore, should have all three comings in mind. We need to prepare our souls to receive Christ worthily.

The Symbols of Advent:

In its symbolism, the Church continues to stress the penitential and preparatory nature of Advent. As during Lent, priests wear purple vestments, and the Gloria ("Glory to God") is omitted during Mass. The only exception is on the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday, when priests can wear rose-colored vestments. As on Laetare Sunday during Lent, this exception is designed to encourage us to continue our prayer and fasting.

The Advent Wreath:

Advent wreath, a custom which originated among German Lutherans but was soon adopted by Catholics. Consisting of four candles (three purple and one pink) arranged in a circle with evergreen boughs (and often a fifth, white candle in the center), the Advent wreath corresponds to the four Sundays of Advent. The purple candles represent the penitential nature of the season, while the pink candle calls to mind the respite of Gaudete Sunday. (The white candle, when used, represents Christmas.)

The journey

 we are all on the journey...

come, and follow me! 

Mercy of God

Jesus, king of mercy, I trust in you!

my origin

Women of Faith:

our way of life: we grow and strengthen our identity by living the HOLY GOSPLE in prayer, in fraternity and in apostolic service, as simple, cheerful, poor and minor sisters.

Our Founder:

As one of the FRANCISCAN congregations in the world, we follow JESUS CHRIST in the example of the minor and simple servant of GOD, ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI. We were founded by a Capuchin Friar, Luis Amigo in 1885, in Valencia, Spain. Deeply seduced by God's love, and with the most needy, especially the abandoned and marginalized children and youth, Fr. Luis intuitively went forward to offer an answer to them, through our Religious congregation.

new beginnings

New Beginnings

It's only the beginning now
...a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
...sometimes we walk alone

The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.

Into each life will always come
A time to start anew
A new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.

Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.

The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.

God is love!

                            

God is love,

 to live in him means life.
