text: I got tired of going through the ever changing catholic rulebook.  One day I woke up and began defining my life with Christ and what did he want?  As St. Benedict says in his 1500 year old rule, "Listen with the ear of your heart."  The word there is LISTEN to what God is telling you.  After working with God on this, I decided he wanted me to be more merciful, and reach out and listen to the needs of others.  So now I do Hospice Volunteer work amor other things, including saying "God bless you" to anyone I come in contact with either in person or on the phone.  I now look for those little ways as well as big ones to make contact.I have found this is better than the old ways and more what God wants and the Pope preaches. We are all images of God and come from the same source.  God bless all of you!
