WE made a heart in the field today. Give your heart to your M this Valentine’s Day. My M and I have been having problems communicating and I am using this Valentine’s Day to reinvigorate our marriage, our communication, and our love. Having the PAX around me allows me to see incredible examples of good husbands, fathers, and men.

The Apostolate of Smiling:

Just a Little Smile on Your Lips 

Cheers your heart

Keeps you in good humor

Preserves peace in your soul

Promotes your Health

Beautifies your face

Induces kindly thoughts 

Inspires kindly deeds.

SMILE TO YOURSELF…

…until you notice that your constant seriousness, or even severity, has vanished.

SMILE TO YOURSELF…

…until you have warmed your own heart with the sunshine of your cheery countenance. Then…

Go out – and radiate your smile.

THAT SMILE…

…has work to do – work to do for God.
