Closure
Closure isn't about just putting an end to the vexations of the mind, heart and soul. It is also coming to terms with the difficulties of the past and, from hereon, beginning a life of acceptance, gratitude and learning, and in so doing, achieving the serenity we so long for.

TRIALSLet us give thanks
to the trials we meet
for with every pain,
we grow.
With every doubt,
our faith intensifies.
With every temptation,
our resolve strengthens.
With every acknowledgment
of our weakness,
God lifts us up.

PrayerWhenever we pray, we exhale our human spirit and inhale God's spirit. In so doing, we let go of our own wills and desires and have His wills and desires for us known - His wills and desires that are always for our best.

Empathy
When I am feeling sad or hurt, I found out that the best cure is to find solace in God and, with empathy, to lift someone else's sadness and hurt. Nothing can be so fulfilling.

Love
Love is undiscriminating and requires a universal heart for when we love, we open our hearts to all, not just to a chosen few.

Doubt
Doubt if you must but be sure that your doubt will bring you awakening. Doubt is needed to achieve faith and when you have grasped true faith, be faithful to it.

True Wisdom
The less we rationalize things, the more enlightened we will be. When the excess of our logic and reason is gone, the mystery of life and of living unfurls.
