The year 2022 is ending, and we prepare to enter 2023 with renewed hope in God. All the difficulties and challenges we experienced in the year that is ending should serve as lessons for a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And to start 2023 off right, we've compiled 10 principles left by Father Eust\u00e1quio for a better life in Christ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 \u2013 Always turn to the kind Sacred Heart of Jesus as a source of strength and courage to face adversity and achieve what we need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"Heart of Jesus, our comfort in afflictions, remedy in illnesses, relief from all miseries, hear our prayers. Heart of Jesus, who does not like to punish, but rather to forgive, deliver us from the evils that discourage us, help and heal our sick."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 \u2013 Always put your trust in the goodness of the Lord.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"The heart of Jesus is immense, and his goodness penetrates every corner, more than the light and heat of the sun."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 \u2013 Accept with wisdom the struggles that will arise throughout the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"The struggle is not always pleasant, but it is necessary for sanctification. Always maintain good will, and thus the grace of perseverance will not fail us."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 \u2013 Serve the Lord in everything you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"Blessed is the man who knows how to use his strength and possessions for the glory of God and the praise of his saints."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 \u2013 Monitor your actions and thoughts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs it not penance to remain silent when one wants to speak ill? Is it not penance to push away thoughts that please our hearts but displease God? Is it not penance to abstain from something that does not harm us? Christians, do not wish to be more than your Master, who did not rest in his joyful penances.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 \u2013 Don't murmur or complain about everything that happens in your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you want peace in your heart: do not lament any evil, not even the state of the weather. Do not judge things you do not know. Do not compare your fate with that of your neighbor. Do not wish that this or that were different from what it is. Do not think about the things of tomorrow, nor about the things that are sometimes difficult. Always think, God will provide.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 7 \u2013 Let go of the illusions of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"Oh, Holy Mother, help me to live in the isolation of your holy house in Nazareth, where neither vanities, nor disturbances, nor illusory threats enter."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 - Trust in God's will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"Let us always conform ourselves to the will of Him who foresees all things, governs all things, and directs all things."\u201d<\/em> (\u2026) \u201c"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing afflict you, let nothing frighten you. Everything passes: pain and joy. Only God remains eternally."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 - Seek comfort in the Father.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive your life, with all your worries, to the Divine Master, and you will lack neither comfort nor strength.\u201d (\u2026) \u201cOh, my Jesus, may Your heart be for me a refuge, a hiding place against the storms of the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 \u2013 Have God in your life every day of the coming year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c"Oh, Jesus, I want to live with you, to live forever. Rich heart of Jesus, have mercy on my poor heart. Jesus, save me."\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" O ano de 2022 est\u00e1 acabando e nos preparamos para entrar em 2023 com a esperan\u00e7a renovada em Deus.
