Good Time for a Change

 Resolution   (Definition: the act or process to find a solution to a negative habit or problem resulting in a change of behavior to make better.)  


Sounds easier than it is … right?  Most of us learned from experience that a few days after making a New Year’s resolution we struggle to remember what that resolution was.  We know that a resolution doesn’t have to be something you give up; it could be a ‘good’ thing you resolve to do more of.  But if you can’t remember, what good is it?  So I ask: Why would you want to put yourself into a similar situation again this year?  You don’t have to.  I offer you the suggestion of an act or process to change that is permeated with Divine Help.

That suggestion is simply to spend more time in the true presence of our God.
  Yes, - Chapel Time!  Spending as little as 60 minutes a week insures the development of a good habit that pays dividends for eternity.  Every time you spend any amount of time in the Adoration Chapel sitting quietly in God’s presence He refills your ‘resolve’ bucket to overflowing.  You never run out of desire to ‘make better’.  What a blessing!  And, listen to this; you don’t have to do anything.  That’s right - just sit in his presence and let him do the work.


If you haven’t been to the chapel, now might be a good time to make a ‘resolve’ to change.
  We ask for an hour a week; you don’t have to start with that.  But I will tell you from experience it’s the hour every week that goes by the fastest.  God will be pleased with any amount … what is important is the commitment. So whether it’s 15 minutes, a half hour or a full hour, the important thing is to ‘commit’.
