The body is broken, the mind is tired, but the spirit will endure and pull me through. Faced with obstacles, one does beyond his best. One must do what is necessary to the welfare of those he loves.
We do our part and trust in God to see us through.

Law and Conscience
Society and governments should construe according to the law, but the individual must construe according to his own conscience; for he is answerable before God not to Society or governments, but according to the virtue of being consistent with his conscience.

Ignorance is Bliss
It has been said: "Ignorance is bliss." Sometimes I do feel that learning about all the bad and evil in the world through the news media simply makes you feel powerless and does no good either to you or to those who suffer.
Life is indeed much, much more than floods, droughts, war and misery seen through the screen of a TV set. It has flavour and it has joy if you allow yourself to experience it.
Want to do something about the suffering of others? Good! Join the local peace corps or the Red Cross or be a volunteer in your local parish to help the homeless and the needy.
Be that as it may, never forget you have people who love you. Devote yourself to them every chance you get and allow life to fill your heart with joy.
