“Our life is the most precious “book” that is given to us, a book that unfortunately many do not read, or rather they do so too late, before dying. And yet, precisely in that book that one finds what one pointlessly seeks elsewhere. Saint Augustine, a great seeker of the truth, had understood this just by rereading his life, noting in it the silent and discreet, but incisive, steps of the presence of the Lord. At the end of this journey, he noted with wonder: “You were within, and I without, and there I did seek you; I, unlovely, rushed heedlessly among the things of beauty you made. You were with me, but I was not with you” (Confessions X, 27.38)… “Return within yourself. Read your life. Read yourself inwardly, the path you have taken. With serenity. Return within yourself”.” 
Pope Francis

If you’re reading this right now, you’ll know all too well that it’s time to learn to assert yourself and to finally cut ties with those who bring you down. If you hear the term “toxic” and someone you know immediately comes to mind, it’s possible that you’re involved in some unhealthy connections that need to be reevaluated.
Relationships that have become poisonous have the capacity to be very destructive to your health, so you need to do your best to rid these from your life. Toxic energy just brings you down.
Friendships like that are certainly not actually based on friendship because there is only jealousy and even hatred as a basis. Therefore, if you even SUSPECT that someone in your friendship group or who is around your life right now is toxic, you need to ditch them ASAP!
It’s easier said than done, so we’ll ask the angels for wisdom and guidance using the Indigo Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue.
“What Signs Do I Need to Look For?”
It’s crucial for you to consider the way certain people in your life interact with you because it’s not healthy when you think about it. Toxic connections may be eliminated if you realize which people in your life fit that description.

You might want to think about whether or not any of the following rings a bell:

• the other person or persons surrounding you are draining your energy;
• you’re fed up with somebody’s constant inconsistency, and you don’t think you can depend on them;
• there is more negativity than positivity in the connection you share;
• they have a habit of making you feel uneasy, mistreated, or ridiculed and you can’t be yourself with them.
  If you have thought about it and you recognize these traits in people you know, even if they’re family, you need to move on from them. You cannot allow yourself to be disrespected for one more minute nor can you let people run you down like this because you are worth so much more than that.
  “How Should I Proceed?”
  If you follow these instructions, you’ll soon be free of the burdensome effects of unhealthy relationships and be well on your road to a more joyful, carefree existence.
  

First, believe in yourself. Know that you deserve only good things as you figure out who among your loved ones may be harmful.
The second step is to define your limits so you can put certain restrictions in place. Your boundaries should be as strict or as relaxed as the situation calls for. If you can no longer function well because of this poisonous connection, you may wish to end it instantly.
If you are focusing on mending the connection or ending it on amicable terms, though, it is important to establish ground rules and keep to them. You’ll regain control, self-worth, self-belief, and be able to interact with them whenever you choose.
Bear in mind that people who are toxic typically fight back. They enjoy confrontation. Call upon Archangel Michael to help you cut these ties and shield you from retaliation.
Take pride in yourself and never forget how valuable you are. Don’t stray beyond your boundaries. If you don’t want to communicate with them, you don’t have to.
It’s not easy to cut ties with negative individuals. Find positive people to spend time with and let them inspire you. Don’t be afraid to put your trust in the people who care about you and encourage you the most.

Once you move on from toxic, negative people it’s crucial for you to fill your life with positive friendships with people who inspire you. Ask the angels to lead you to the people who would make your life so much better. Give out that amazing energy of yours and you’ll get so much back in return.
Enjoy this new phase of your life because it will be free of complications as well as filled with love and laughter.
Now that you know the signs of utterly toxic connections in your life, you can be better placed to help others who are currently stuck in similar situations. Your angels wish you to know that you have their blessings today and always

“As soon as we awaken, we can say: “Lord, I thank you and I offer this day to you”… Then, before an activity, we can repeat, “Come, Holy Spirit”. Between one thing and another, we can pray thus, “Jesus, I trust in you. Jesus, I love you”. Really short prayers that help us stay in contact with the Lord. How often we send instant messages to the people we love! Let’s do this with the Lord as well so that our hearts remain connected to him. And let’s not forget to read his responses. The Lord always responds. Where do we find them? In the Gospel which should always be kept at hand and should be opened several times every day, to receive a Word of life directed to us… May the Virgin Mary, faithful listener, teach us the art of praying always, without losing heart.” 
Pope Francis

“Jesus offers us the remedy to rekindle a tepid faith. And what is the remedy? Prayer. Yes, prayer is the medicine for faith, it is the restorative of the soul. It needs to be constant prayer, however. If we must undergo treatment to get better, it is important to follow the treatment plan well, to take the medicine faithfully and regularly in the right way and at the right times. This is necessary in all of life. Let us think of a houseplant: we need to water it consistently every day. We cannot soak it and then leave it without giving it water for a week! Even more so with prayer. We cannot live only on strong moments of prayer or occasional intense encounters, and then “go into hibernation”. Our faith would dry up. We need the daily water of prayer, we need time dedicated to God, so that he can enter into our time, into our lives; we need consistent moments in which we open our hearts to him so that he can daily pour out on us love, peace, joy, strength, hope, thus nourishing our faith.” 
Pope Francis

““You shall be my witnesses.” An important opportunity to reawaken in all baptized persons the desire to participate in the universal mission of the Church, through witness and the proclamation of the Gospel. I encourage everyone to support missionaries with prayer and concrete solidarity, so that they may continue their work of evangelization and human promotion throughout the world… I am saddened by the floods that are affecting various countries in Africa and which have caused death and destruction. I pray for the victims, and am close to the millions of displaced persons, and I hope for a greater concerted effort to prevent these calamities.” 
Pope Francis

The tarot card of the day is Strength.
You’ve been through a lot recently and have become stronger than ever. The Strength card represents this inner strength and courage.

A young woman is shown taming a lion, representing the conquering of her fears. The red and blue colors represent the fire and water signs, which are also associated with strength. The lion also represents power, bravery, and drive.
The woman is dressed in a robe of purity, which represents her higher self. She has managed to tame the lion, which means her ability to control her emotions and stay calm in the face of adversity.
Her belt and crown made of flowers represent her femininity and spiritual power. Above them, there’s a symbol of infinity, which depicts her ability to see the big picture and have a strong vision.
Stay Calm in the Face of Adversity
This is a time for you to be brave and confident. Finally, you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge. Your fears have kept you back for too long, but it’s time to meet them head-on.
Mastering your fears might mean addressing some deep-rooted issues, but it will be worth it in the end. You are capable of great things, so don’t let anything hold you back.
Identify your fear and take small actions toward overcoming it. Begin by confronting your anxieties in your head, then progress to facing them in real life.

Take baby steps! What matters most is that you do not give up. You have everything you require to solve this challenge. Have belief in yourself and your ability.
Amid the chaos, you must remain calm and clearheaded. But, unfortunately, this isn’t the right moment to give in to your feelings.
Before acting, keep your cool and analyze your choices. This will help you make the greatest decisions possible for yourself and others.
Be Brave
You are facing some challenging times, but you must be brave. Now is the time to stand up for yourself and your values. Be brave to speak your truth and fight for what you know is right.
The world needs your strength and tenacity now more than ever. It will not be simple to be brave; it may be one of the most challenging tasks you will ever face. It is, however, well worth the effort.
It might mean doing things that scare you, but it will also mean living a life that is authentic to you. It means being the person you were meant to be, even if that means standing alone.
So whatever challenges you face today, remember that you are strong and brave. You have the power to overcome anything. So trust yourself and stay calm. In the end, everything will work out.

Manifesting Your Inner Strength
In order to manifest your inner strength, you must first believe that you have it. This entails believing in yourself and your capabilities.
When you know deep down that you are capable of great things, it will be easier to take the necessary steps to achieve your goals.
Start by setting your intention to manifest your inner strength. Then, take action steps that will help you achieve this goal. This might mean facing your fears, speaking your truth, or taking risks.
Do it with boldness and conviction, no matter what it is. Believe in yourself to achieve any goals you set for yourself.
Remember, being authentic is more important than being perfect while manifesting your inner strength. It ultimately boils down to being the best possible version you could be.
So have faith in yourself and pursue your ambitions. More than before, the world requires your strength.
Today’s Suggested Action
Today, make a conscious effort to show your inner power. Face your anxieties, speak your truth, and take calculated chances. Release any fear of showing up as your true, authentic self, and instead create some room to express who you really are.
Have faith in yourself and your ability. Trust your gut feelings. You are capable of achieving your objectives.

“Let us imagine that the Lord came today on earth. Unfortunately, he would see many wars, much poverty and many inequalities. At the same time, he would see tremendous technical conquests, modern means, and people who are always running, who never stop. But would he find someone who dedicates time and affection to him, someone who would put him in first place? Above all, let us ask ourselves, “What would he find in me, if the Lord were to come today, what would he find in me, in my life, in my heart? What priorities would he see in my life?” We often focus on so many urgent but unnecessary things. We occupy and preoccupy ourselves with so many secondary realities. And perhaps without even recognizing it, we neglect what counts the most and we allow our love for God to grow cold, to grow cold bit by bit.” 
Pope Francis

We all know what families are like—with all those different outlooks and personalities, there are sure to be some tricky times as well as lovely ones. However, when everyone is fighting like cats and dogs, life can become incredibly draining.
As a lover of harmony, it comes down to you to be the bigger person who can create a more peaceful flow of energy throughout the family. So, rather than worrying about everyone, you will be able to relax more so that you can enjoy family time rather than dreading it!
Today we are using the Healing With The Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue to bring insight to your family relationships.
My Family Won’t Stop Arguing, HELP!
What is truly clear is that you have been hoping, wishing, and praying that your family members would heal the rifts between them. You all have gone through a great deal recently and seem to have forgotten how to communicate from a place of love. Therefore, the angels want you to know that your prayers will be answered soon in the sense that things will be on a more even keel.

As well as asking the angels for their help, you can also provide some guidance to your loved ones in order to help them to move past their problems with each other. The angels ask that you gently remind your family members of how lucky they are to have each other.
Many people pray to have a family and it doesn’t happen for them. However, you all have each other which is amazing!

What Can I Do to Bring My Family Members Together?
The angels come to you today with a request for forgiveness. You will understand exactly how this relates to your specific family circumstances only too well.

However, it’s getting your loved ones to see this for themselves that could be an issue! All you can do is to be there and to gently guide them in the right direction, so they don’t waste any more of their lives on arguing and being negative towards each other.
Perhaps you could arrange a family day out or a dinner so that everyone can get together and enjoy themselves. A little push in the right direction could work wonders right at this moment. However, you should always remember to take everyone’s thoughts and feelings into consideration before you do anything because you don’t want to make the situation worse!

If your family members have forgotten how to be friends with each other, encourage them to have fun. Perhaps arrange a day out where you can all just be silly and have fun. You could go to a theme park, to the beach, on a woodland walk or whatever you all enjoy doing.
By encouraging your loved ones to remember the gift of friendship, you will be spreading beautiful angelic energy everywhere you go!

You see, when we show our kids as well as other family members how to have caring and harmonious interactions, it makes them feel more cherished and safer. Using upbeat words, being a good listener, and demonstrating compassion are all helpful ways to keep the peace and happiness levels on a high inside the home even when things are difficult.
A lot of individuals put getting along well with others at the very top of their list of values and priorities. When we think of a good friendship bond, we see one that enriches both parties’ lives, is genuinely nourishing, challenges us to be and do our best, and enables us to live in harmony together.
When we are in tune with one another, it permeates every aspect of our lives and fills us with a sense of calm and contentment which is exactly what you want for your family.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2022“Let us think, a sincere desire knows how to deeply touch the chords of our being, which is why it is not extinguished in the face of difficulties or setbacks. It is like when we are thirsty: if we do not find something to drink, we do not give up; on the contrary, the yearning increasingly occupies our thoughts and actions, until we become willing to make any sacrifice in order to quench it — almost obsessed. Obstacles and failures do not stifle desire, no; on the contrary, they make it even more alive in us.” Pope Francis

Statue of Christopher Columbus, at the corner of Elmwood Ave and Reservoir Ave, Providence, RI. This statue is on the National Register of Historic Places.

On this date in 1892, Chicago threw a parade to dedicate the World’s Columbian Exposition. The Columbian Exposition was a world’s fair commemorating the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. Planning for the exposition had begun in the 1880s. Several great American cities vied for the honor of hosting the celebration. City officials pleaded their case vociferously and persistently, but in the end it was the last-minute fundraising efforts of banker Lyman Gage, who managed to raise several million dollars above what the second-place city — New York — had come up with. Congress awarded the World Columbian Exposition to Chicago. Although the original plan was to hold the exposition in 1892, infighting and construction setbacks delayed the opening until May 1, 1893. The fair ran until October 30 and drew 27 million visitors. The author Hamlin Garland urged his parents: “Sell the cookstove if necessary and come. You must see the fair.”
Many products made their debut at the Columbian Exposition: Juicy Fruit gum, Cracker Jack, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, and Cream of Wheat among them. In June 1893, a bridge builder named George Washington Gage Ferris Jr. unveiled his invention: a 264-foot-tall wheel that bore his name. The first Ferris wheel carried two thousand people at a time, at a cost of 50 cents each, and it saved the Exposition from financial ruin. And Gottlieb Daimler displayed a boat and an automobile powered by combustion engines: an exhibit that would inspire Henry Ford to come up with his own “Quadricycle,” his first car, which he successfully tested three years later.

“May the Church be overcome with joy. If she should fail to rejoice, she would deny her very self, for she would forget the love that begot her. Yet how many of us are unable to live the faith with joy, without grumbling and criticizing? A Church in love with Jesus has no time for quarrels, gossip and disputes. May God free us from being critical and intolerant, harsh and angry!… For those who love, as the Apostle Paul teaches, do everything without murmuring (cf. Phil 2:14). Lord, teach us your own lofty gaze; teach us to look at the Church as you see her. And when we are critical and disgruntled, let us remember that to be Church means to bear witness to the beauty of your love, to live our lives as a response to your question: Do you love me? And not to act as if we were at a funeral wake.” 
Pope Francis

The tarot card of the day is Temperance Reversed.
The Temperance card depicts a winged angel with masculine and feminine features. The angel is wearing robes with an inscribed triangle on a square, which symbolizes the earth and the natural laws. It also shows the importance of having men on this planet.

The angel has one foot in water and the other on land, representing the material and immaterial world.
The angel holds two cups with water flowing from one cup to the other, showing change and the importance of being able to flow at any time. There is also a mountain with a gold crown hovering in the background, symbolizing one’s journey through life.
Temperance reversed indicates a feeling of unease like something is not right. You have to handle this feeling with urgent care by looking for solutions to improve your lifestyle. You’ll need a strong foundation to be able to overcome the difficulties of life.
Maybe you should give yourself some time to reboot. Perhaps you’ve been living in excess or taking on more than you can manage.
Rebalance Your Life
The upright Temperance usually signifies the importance of taking things in moderation, always balancing your life, and ensuring everything is in check. However, the reversed Temperance is a warning that your life is imbalanced and must be treated with care.

Imbalance can be present in many scenarios, making it hard to identify the exact area of discord. The good thing is that you can examine your life if you want to find the answer to this question.
Temperance reversed speaks about conscious and unconscious choices you have made and why it is always essential to look at both angles.
This may be a warning that you are going through voluntary excesses. For example, you may be consuming more food than usual or overdoing an activity that is not part of your regular routine.
When you continue to indulge in these excesses, they will come back with consequences. This is the time for you to act in moderation.
You may not be aware of your current imbalance and how it affects you directly and indirectly, but you somehow feel the effects. For example, if you are feeling stress in your life, you need to look at the cause of these feelings to find the reason for the imbalance.
Regain Your Normal Self
Temperance reversed is directing you, showing that you have somehow managed to lose your inner calm. It can also indicate a lack of harmony between yourself and the people in your world.

This may lead to you trying to seek gratification with risky and harmful activities.
You may see yourself always clashing or having arguments with the people closest to you. You may also allow yourself to be dragged into other people’s drama. Sometimes, you may lack perspective because you fail to look at the bigger picture.
You will do well only if you decide to finally take a step back to look at the way you are behaving. Take the time to examine the causes of these behaviors and try to find a solution to them.
The message from Temperance reversed will continue to get louder until you make a decision to start listening to it with care.
You may begin by paying attention to certain aspects of your life. After that, you must make the changes necessary to restore your usual flow.
Let go of your fears and anxieties today, and take the time to embrace every aspect of your life. This will allow you to find inner peace and joy in everything, including your relationships, and to see improvement in your personal growth.
From today, start integrating routines into your plan to help you reach your long-term goals.

“The Christian faith always asks us to walk alongside others, never to be solitary wayfarers. Faith always urges us to move beyond ourselves and towards God and our brothers and sisters, never to remain enclosed within ourselves. Faith invites us to acknowledge constantly that we are in need of healing and forgiveness, and to share in the frailty of those who are near to us, without feeling ourselves superior.” 
Pope Francis
 5 Signs God is Telling You to Pause
What is God trying to tell you?

Wodehouse’s Wooster and Jeeves formula included plenty of plots, schemes, kidnappings, a pig named Empress Blandings, and lots of puns and wordplay. Americans were besotted with words like “pipped,” “bally,” “what ho!” and “toddle.” Wodehouse was a prolific writer, often writing 4,000 words a day. He began each novel by writing over 400 pages of notes, including an outline and plot. Often, he didn’t know the names of characters until he was well inside a story, so he simply referred to them as “hero” or “heroine” until he became inspired. He wrote seven days a week from 4 to 7 p.m., but never after dinner. He said, “For a humorous novel, you’ve got to have a scenario, and you’ve got to test it so that you know where the comedy comes in, where the situations come in … splitting it up into scenes (you can make a scene of almost anything) and have as little stuff in between as possible

The character of Jeeves has proved so popular that it’s now in the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning a “person of utmost responsibility” and serves as the inspiration for Yahoo’s Ask Jeeves search engine. Jeeves taught millions of Americans the difference between a butler and a valet: a butler serves the house; a valet serves the person. Once, when confronted with a bear, Bertie Wooster asked Jeeves what he should do and Jeeves replied, “I fancy it might be judicious if you were to make an exit, sir.”
P.G. Wodehouse died at 93 (1975) in his house on Long Island, a month after receiving a British knighthood. He was sitting in a chair, surrounded by the typescript for a new Blandings Castle novel.

“Brothers and sisters, whenever disease and fragility are shared, barriers fall and exclusion is overcome… When we are honest with ourselves, we realize that we are all sick at heart, all sinners in need of the Father’s mercy. Then we stop creating divisions on the basis of merit, social position or some other superficial criterion; our interior barriers and prejudices likewise fall. In the end, we realize once more that we are brothers and sisters.” 
Pope Francis
