Fr. Qui-Thac's Weekly Reflection

It’s similar to advertising. They try to keep a particular thought in our minds just long enough to trigger us to act on the impulse. Usually for a product. Most of us are aware of this manipulation and control it (i.e., killing your T.V.). At times, I feel like a manipulator when I speak. I am lodging a particular thought that leads to a particular action. Nevertheless, I am consoled by the fact that there is a fundamental difference between what I do and that of the advertisers. Advertising crafts a message to lead us to buy something that we may not necessarily need or should not acquire altogether. If we needed the product, we would have bought the item regardless of any advertising. However, when a person crafts a message to lead us to do what we ought to do, it is not called manipulation, it is called encouragement.

What, and from whom, are the thoughts that manipulate you? What, and from whom, are the thoughts that encourage you?

Good reading and conversation encourage me. Coming together as a community on Sunday in joy and praise rejuve-nates me. Fun events like our Suds and Spuds, Mardi Gras, John Paul II celebration, and the Country Store make me happy. The Word of God and daily prayer console and fortify me. The opportunity to serve and witness the humble ser-vice of people among us inspires and encourages me. Thank you for Sacred Heart. Thank you for your good and holy examples. Thank you Jesus. St. Barnabas, son of encouragement, pray for us!
