Write a short sentence or two about what you feel your purpose is in life. Keep this purpose statement simple, and focus on what it is about your life direction that gives you satisfaction, happiness, and meaning.

Question 2 of 4
Next, look at your purpose statement and describe in detail how it gives you joy. For instance, if your life purpose is teaching music to children, then describe how wonderful it feels when a child falls in love with a piece of music, or the look on their face when they know they have played a piece well.

Day 9 - Living with Purpose

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world:
someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”
― Tom Bodett
In today’s meditation we will connect to the current of happiness inside that gives our life direction and purpose. When we move with this flow of life energy, our actions are filled with value and meaning. Our happiness and contentment naturally expand when we are living a purposeful life. It’s not necessarily a strong feeling, and we may not always have a clear vision or understanding of that purpose. It may only be a subtle sense that we are where we need to be, and doing what needs to be done, but that is the heart of a purposeful life.
Our meditation today will align our awareness to this purposeful direction of expanding happiness and fulfillment.

HOLY WEEK - EPHIPANY!

What can save a marriage from going downhill without any hope of coming back up again is mercy, understood in the biblical sense, that is, not just reciprocal forgiveness but spouses acting with “compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience” (Col 3:12). Mercy adds agape to eros, it adds the love that gives of oneself and has compassion to the love of need and desire. God “takes pity” on human beings (see Ps 102:13). Shouldn’t a husband and wife, then, take pity on each other? And those of us who live in community, shouldn’t we take pity on one another instead of judging one another?, Homily, Good Friday, St Peters Basillica, 24/3/16

MERCY;Understood in scripture as not just reciprocal forgiveness but spouses acting with compassion, kindness, meekness & patience
