Notice how in our lives there is are constant ups and downs? This Holy week, begins with Palm Sunday. From our reading in Mass, we were able to participate how the people cheered Jesus coming into the city, and at the same time, others were calling for his death.
You see many of your friends are moving on with their lives, going on to “bigger and better” things, you made the decision to stick with the stay with the family route. On so many days you feel like you’re not growing, you’re not doing anything with your life, it really turns into a, “poor me” party fast! But not so fast! You too are growing, you too are moving on with your life, just in a different direction.

The Sisters and Brothers that I have met in my life, have this joy and peace around them that you wish you can just put in a bottle.
