Be ye not troubled!
Peaceful scenes (and memories) like Aughnahoory Road, Kilkeel, County Down, help...

It's so easy to fill our minds with worries and distresses...they come unbidden, flowing in like ocean waves, that sometimes feel like they will drown us. But St. Teresa says that this keeps us from doing the best we can for God. Let us pray and offer our worries to God!
"The devil, who gains greatly by it, is delighted to see a soul troubled and distressed, knowing how this hinders it from employing itself wholly in loving and serving God."
~ St. Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle

  A Photo I took in Siena, Italy last summer. Happy Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, everyone! As you see, I'm not regularly posting her...
