PrayTheRosary Apostolate

Some Resolution for the New Year

1. Keep the Ten Commandments.

2a. Pray twice as often as you do.

2b. Pray the Holy Rosary.

3. Go weekly to the desert of your soul and wait for God.

4. Get to know a saint. Personally.

5. Be inspired by the communion of saints, but be yourself.

6. Find out God's purpose for you by asking God to show you.

7. Go to confession. Then again within a month.

8. You're going to Mass on Sundays? If not, go. If you are, resolve to go at least occasionally to daily Mass. You will never reget it.

9. Cull your excess and give it to the poor.

10. Then pray as St Francis does, and mean it:

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
