If I am dependent on how other people act for my happiness, I will be a rather unhappy person. People around me have their own agendas and my happiness is not their priority. To break this dependency connection I need to concentrate on my side of the street. Work on my stuff. Why do I need their actions to make me happy? Is it a control thing? Ego? Each day I examine my innards to make sure I am not harboring resentments about how others act. My happiness is my job, not theirs.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

From Stephanie Logan of Centennial, CO
I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
