Mirror of Their Opinion

Everyone judges by appearances. So don't allow your first appearance be of the shallow vain person who cares more about looks than character. Be neat, but not ostentatious in looks.

Lifelong Partners

Let us be kind, not cruel to our body. We didn't get to choose our partner in this life, but God merged us. Nor did she get to choose us. Thus, let us work as partners, not as master and slave.

Disfunctional Marriage

The body is an unfaithful spouse that we can’t depend on when we need him or her most. Despite her unfaithfulness, however, let us be faithful to her or she will fail us ultimately in the time of most dire need.

Bad Flesh Days II

“Desolation is when we are bogged down in spirit, in mental darkness or turmoil, inclined to earthly things, restless and agitated in temptation. This leads to loss of faith, hope and love. One is completely listless, tepid, and unhappy and feels separated from our Creator and Lord…. One should never make a change during a time of desolation… For just as the good spirit guides and counsels us in times of consolation, so it is the evil spirit who guides and counsels us in times of desolation. We will never reach the right decision by following his counsels.”
-Ignatius of Loyola

Bad Flesh Days

Be prepared for bad days. For days when you just want to give up. For days when prayer seems difficult, even impossible. For days when the spirit is willing, but the flesh is just too weak. Prepare for them by praying for your weak self when your spirit self is in control. Prepare for them by setting boundaries around your weak self, even when your spirit self is in control. Prepare for them by loving all who you can, so they will be forgiving when your weak self is in control
