Mike's "meanderings"  



  ►I was in Milwakee WI this week--a parish mission for three parishes--St. Roman's, St. Charles Borromeo's and St. James" parishes.  RuthAnn Ross and a fun, devoted mission planning team (from the 3 parishes) made this a very positive experience for me.  I enjoyed chocolate-covered potato chips and "pastaccoli" (inside joke--you had to be there!). The attendace was very good but what was more impressive was the diverse ages who atteneded regularly--from teens to senior citizens.

Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut of bad habits. 
Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out.
