Note to God

My God, it is extraordinary that you should ask us to love you. Given who you are, and who we are, you ought to forbid us to do so. But even if you forbid us to love you, I will still love you secretly.

 that there are three things that fill us with gladness in this life and that will bring us the eternal happiness of Heaven: a firm, refined, joyful and unquestioning fidelity to the faith, to the vocation that each of us has received, and to purity.

We need to bring things to the mass. Our sacrifice. Our offering. To the mass.then mass is more meaningful, united to sacrifice of chist. 

Remember Augustine, Francis, men of failures but who conquered and with the desire to fulfill the will of God, became saints  It's a test of rectitude of intention - not to glorify ourselves but God. It's important to be detached, success or failure.  Most important is charity, not success nor failure.  One dad keep checking in with children: Instead of "how did you feel, ask: How did you fail?" Failure is a little death. But faith doesn't make us scared of death. For death brings us eternal life. Same as failure. It's a little life. We become wiser, we know more through failure  When we experience failure, we know what not to do. We need objectivity and humility to confront failure. Don't fear failure. We become afraid of trying new things. 

Need order. Time to start work. Time to end work. Rest with others instead of just yourself.

Charity and friendship is the same thing For some, friendship is natural. For others, it takes effort. But friendship isn't dependent on personality, but identity - our identity in Christ. Our identity is Christ, who love others as Christ did. We have to... no.. We get to,  yes Be someone who cares, like how Christ would care In our chat - ask: Do we care of least of our friends? Invite them to kopi, to lunch, to dinner. Show affection: - to have real affection for others - to show the affection like how Christ did, very naturally Friendship means taking risk - to care, which may entail rejection. But it's ok, jesus was rejected by ppl too.. the rich man

To give thanks To say sorry What we can do things better

Full of people? Full of materials? Full of yourself?

Work not for perfection, but for love.  - Isodoro That's why we work. How should we work? For whom am i working? Sanctify myself - through how we do things. With humility, care in the words we use. Not just being efficient, but with consideration of others in the words we use.  My boss says- draft an email such there all questions are answered. And your boss can only say ok.
