This isn’t what you think 😉

I love Holy Mother Church and her teachings and try my darndest to follow them (though I admit I am the Queen of Messing Up! :p)

BUT…

Sometimes I just want to strangle my fellow brothers and sisters! 😊 (Don’t worry I wont, but I do sure think some pretty uncharitable thoughts at times! 😦 )

What to do when fellow catholics drive you absolutely CRAZY?!?! :whacky:
 
It’s easy to sit back and see the faults of others. I know because it’s a great temptation for me too. 😊 But, what good does that do? Who am I helping? That’s what I ask myself. 😉

When others act in ways you think unChristian, pray for them and examine your own heart to see where you are failing God. We all fail him from time to time, sometimes in small ways and sometimes greater, but we all do.

Take your eyes of them and put them on Jesus, Mary and the Saints and endeavor to love as they loved and be holy as they were and leave others to God. 🙂
 
St. Therese taught us her “little way”. To follow this way, we can offer our small sacrifices joyfully to Jesus throughout each day. We can go out of our way to be kind to difficut people. If our feelings are hurt, we can offer this to Jesus, instead of holding a grudge. Whenever she felt humiliated or misunderstood, she would offer her pain to her beloved Jesus. She would hide her hurts under a smile. She went out of her way to spend time with people who were hard to get along with. She told Jesus to do with her whatever was His will.

St Terese of Liseax, pray for us.
 
I heard someone from the L’Arche community on the radio once. He said when living in community, there’s always someone who is going to drive you crazy. And if nobody drives you crazy, you can be sure you are driving someone crazy. 😛

We’re humans. But also Catholics, so offer it up 😉
