How will we answer to God for our every thought? In James 3:1-12 we are taught about the power of the tongue (for good and for evil). Connecting with our chat a couple weeks ago, how is the tongue a reminder that God is concerned for the smallest details of our life? If something so small as our tongue can be powerful, it show us that we need to focus on the finer details of life in order for the rest of life to be in order. How can we focus our lives so as to not get caught up in all the millions of things we might have going on in our lives and in our minds?
SRSUSAN (guest): I thought I should give a little background on Sr Mary of the Sacred heart Bernaud and the Guard of Honor
Aug 9 2015, 7:23 PM
Dawn L: thank you for doing so
Aug 9 2015, 7:23 PM
Lisa C: Is that where the Guard of Honor Room got its name? We used to think it was the God of Honor Room.
SRSUSAN (guest): That’s cute! Yes that’s how it got the name
Aug 9 2015, 7:24 PM
Lisa C: Hi Judy
Aug 9 2015, 7:24 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Sr Mary of the Sacred Heart was inspired in 1863 to honor the pierced Heart of Jesus
SRSUSAN (guest): Sr Mary wrote many meditations and the newsletter this week is a translation ofd one of them
Aug 9 2015, 7:27 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): The Guard of Honor is an organization where people dedicate one hour of time amidst whatever they are doing to remembrance of His Heart
PM
SRSUSAN (guest): The theme of guarding one’s thoughts is certainly not unique- in fact Orthodox elders role is often just that- to hear the minute relations of a pentitent’s thoughts
Lisa C: SFdS “As often as you can during the day, recall your mind to the presence of God…. Consider what God is doing, what you are doing. You will always find God’s eyes fixed on you in unchangeable love. Our hearts should each day seek a resting-place on Calvary or near our Lord, in order to retire there to rest from worldly cares and to find strength against temptation. Remember frequently to retire into the solitude of your heart, even while you are externally occupied in business or society. This mental
Aug 9 2015, 7:30 PM
Dawn L: do you mean a pentitent would need to respond when asked about their thoughts?
Aug 9 2015, 7:30 PM
Lisa C: solitude need not be hindered even though many people may be around you, for they surround your body not your heart, which should remain alone in the presence of God. As David said, “My eyes are ever looking at the Lord.” We are rarely so taken up in our exchanges with others as to be unable from time to time to move our hearts into solitude with God.”
Judy K: The questions were not easy to answer, but I took a shot in the dark. How will we answer to God for our thoughts? If our thoughts are evil, sinful, we will have to pay for them in eternal life. If such thoughts were mortally sinful and left unrepented, eternal punishment would be the payment.
Aug 9 2015, 7:31 PM
Lisa C: St. FdS
Aug 9 2015, 7:32 PM
Lisa C: Keeping our thoughts on God and coming back to Him all day
Dawn L: I also was challenged by this weeks questions. Thats good! How will we answer to God. But he knows all things and knows our hearts
Aug 9 2015, 7:33 PM
Lisa C: I think we are always in His presence, but the key is remembering that we are
Aug 9 2015, 7:33 PM
Dawn L: Hi Ruth!
015, 7:34 PM
Judy K: Right on there Lisa. I am always amused when a prayer leader begins by saying “Now let us place ourselves in the presence of God.” And I am tempted to holler out, we are always in the presence of God. We just have to be mindful of His presence.
Aug 9 2015, 7:34 PM
PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Carla! Long time!
Aug 9 2015, 7:37 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Yes! I thought I’d check things out tonight though
Aug 9 2015, 7:37 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Thoughts drive our actions but by staying in the presence of the Lord as consciously as we can we can catch our negative thoughts more quickly
PM
Judy K: The trick, of course, is keeping our minds centered on Him. We face so many interupptions that it can be difficult to bring our minds back to him. The last question asks how we can keep our focus on God in the midst of our crazy lives. First we need to pray that the Lord Himself will take control of our thoughts. If our thoughts veer off onto undesired topics. we need to put out a mental butterfly net to keep them captive and then turn our thoughts to things that please the Lord–
, 7:39 PM
Judy K: prayers. ways to help others, concentrating on things of beauty, thinking of Scripture verses.
Aug 9 2015, 7:39 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Mental butterfly- like tha
:39 PM
Lisa C: humanity are centered on us being like Jesus. If we live our lives with out thoughts centered on Jesus, we are in fellowship with God, with one another, and will live rightly ourselves.
Aug 9 2015, 7:40 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Thoughts captive as much as possible to our Lord
Aug 9 2015, 7:40 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura Cuomo entering chat room. Hi.
7:41 PM
Judy K: And how beautiful fellowship with the Lord is! No one loves us as much as He does and He longs for us to love Him too. Hi Laura and Carla! ecent past
Aug 9 2015, 7:43 PM
Ruth (guest): Wow! Thant was quite a discourse Lisa, and Judy. Important points.
Aug 9 2015, 7:44 PM
Dawn L: nice to have you here!
Aug 9 2015, 7:44 PM
Lisa C: I often pray while I am working for help or for patience, etc.

Ruth (guest): Vjsited here, Carla? And with that pretty picture? Sorry, I missed a couple of weeks.
:46 PM
Ruth (guest): Ah, yes. There was one time I did that.
Aug 9 2015, 7:46 PM
Dawn L: I begin my day in prayer time, then during my day I notice more and more my thoughts darting to Jesus and or Mary…as though they are right there. I ask for their assistance often as I take care of 2 very little ones
Aug 9 2015, 7:46 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): I like this sentence from SR Mary of the Sacred Heart: Have we ever thought about the magnificence of the field which God has made us stewards of when he made us master our thoughts? –
Ruth (guest): Hello everyone. I’m still catching up on what was said before 7:30.
Dawn L: that is beautiful meditation from Sr Mary
Aug 9 2015, 7:47 PM
Ruth (guest): That phrase jumped out at me, too, when I read your introduction to tonight’s chat.
:47 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: It is true virtue when we can master not only what we say but what we think8 PM
Ruth (guest): Our thoughts as a field over which we are stewards.
Aug 9 2015, 7:48 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): The grandeur of it all and the power the Lord gives us…
PM
Ruth (guest): And part of our job is to keep out the ANTS — automatic negative thoughts.
Carla Marie Formisano: Stewards to do good & avoid evil
8 PM
Judy K: Mother Susan mentioned our chat a couple of weeks in which we were talking about the tongue. In James, God tells us that the tongue is a tiny member but can ignite a raging fire. James tells us that no one can tame the tongue. The Lord cares about this “tiny member” that can start a raging fire. He likewise cares for every detail of our lives, for He tells us that even the hairs of our heads are counted. (Matt. 10:30) Imagine that! He knows just many hairs are on my head. They are falling out so fast, that15, 7:49 PM
Judy K: He must have a hard time keeping up with them9 PM
Lisa C: The image of the field makes me think of the dog I had when my daughter was little. The dog was a sheltie, i.e. shetland sheepdog, looked like a tiny collie. My daughter and her friends would run all over the fields and the dog would shepherd them and keep them together….kind of how we need to keep our thoughts guarded and centered.
Aug 9 2015, 7:49 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Beautiful image
0 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Beautiful image Lisa!
Aug 9 2015, 7:50 PM
Lisa C: His name was Shepherd
5, 7:50 PM
Ruth (guest): That’s not my acronym ANTS but one I have heard and used. PM
Judy K: Yes, a beautiful image indeed. And we need a very special Shepherd to keep our thoughts under control.
Aug 9 2015, 7:50 PM
Dawn L: good image Lisa and kind of fun too
Lisa C: He would grab their heels with his mouth without biting them, just guiding themM
Ruth (guest): I always ask the Lord to guide and direct my thoughts, my words, my deeds.
Aug 9 2015, 7:51 PM
Lisa C: He would also run circles around them
5, 7:51 PM
Guest2762 (guest): But thanks for ANTS Ruth..I hadn’t heard that before. 015, 7:52 PM
Ruth (guest): I guess that’s what shepard dogs do best — bred to shepard. 3 PM
Judy K: I have taken to saying the prayer “Direct we beseech Thee, Oh Lord, all of actions and carry them on by Your gracious assistance so that every prayer and work of ours may be begun with You and by You be happily ended.”
Aug 9 2015, 7:53 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Great metaphor for Good Shepherd
Aug 9 2015, 7:53 PM
Ruth (guest): Thoughts as a field to take care of, hmm.
Aug 9 2015, 7:53 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Our thoughts even the ANTS can tell us alot about our souls disposition at any given moment I suppose
PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here.. Great examples…a verse that comes to mind in addition to a few field verses..”to pray without ceasing”.. To live prayer.. PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Awesome, Laura!
Aug 9 2015, 7:54 PM
Judy K: AS where our treasure is so also our hearts. May also be that where our thoughts are, so there are our hearts also. And perhaps they are in places where we do not want them to be.
Aug 9 2015, 7:55 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here.. The ANTS can tell us the things we most need to look at, work on, etc..
6 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): The field must play a part somehow in the entrenchment, or lack of it, of these thoughts:56 PM
Ruth (guest): I have a good deal of land around my house; for a decade or so I took good care of it myself and enjoyed doing so. Now I am not able to and cannot afford to hire someone to. So where once there was grass, the lord has gifted me with blueberries and rasberries, which, of course, I share with the birds. , 7:57 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): So letting the Lord direct our minds will give growth to good thoughts and His inspirations! PM
Judy K: Carol Ann, have you begun with the Little Portion group yet? 7:57 PM
Ruth (guest): Some would call it going to briars or brambles. I like to think of the weeds as wildflowers and the brambles as berry bushes. M
Lisa C: Traumatized people might have ANTS, but not be the cause of them. God can heal them, but does He manifest Himself to everyone in the same way to get rid of the ANTS? I do not think He does. Some people have more grace than others. They should help those who have less.
Ruth (guest): Sometimes NOT actively focusing in the field of thoughts is where the best, creative ideas come from.
Aug 9 2015, 7:58 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here…attitude and perspective are so important, Ruth…one woman’s weed is another’s gift..
Aug 9 2015, 7:59 PM
Carol Ann: What does ANTS stand for?
Aug 9 2015, 7:59 PM
Lisa C: God can come to people who need help though people who do not need as much help.
Aug 9 2015, 7:59 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Openness to grace
PM
Judy K: Like Queen Ann’s Lace. It is considered a weed, but I think that it is so pretty and would be happy to have a bouquet of them any tims.
Aug 9 2015, 8:00 PM
Ruth (guest): “Automatic Negative Thoughts” — you have to catch yourself at it, figure out if it is TRUE, then DO what needs doin
00 PM
Carol Ann: Ah, that’s great. It’s a struggle we all face, I thin0 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Great advice Ruth
Aug 9 2015, 8:01 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): And sometimes we have to battleanother’s, when it comes out in their speech
Dawn L: True Ruth….people who have suffered through trauma may for awhile suffer triggers
Aug 9 2015, 8:02 PM
Judy K: I have to battle when it comes out in my speech, usually when I am talking to myself, and totally unbidden.
Aug 9 2015, 8:02 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): I also like this: Instead of allowing ourselves to be invaded by vain thoughts or our imagination, we can offer the best under the gaze of Jesus.
Carol Ann: and the offer them up for His glory
Aug 9 2015, 8:02 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: I am guilty of this too
Aug 9 2015, 8:02 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Just thinking about being under His loving gaze works wonders within!
Aug 9 2015, 8:03 PM
Ruth (guest): I caught myself with a judgemental thought, told about it in confession — an older priest who’s been through a lot; he said it wasn’t a sin. I figured it was at the very least a fault that needed to be rooted out, and said something about my attitude that I didn’t like.
PM
Guest7064 (guest): Sometimes The Lord asks us to do very difficult things for Him! Things that are out. of our comfort zone ! That’s taking up our cross ! Our decision to follow Gods plan is always attacked by enemy ! We can ask others for pursuer support and Trust God ! He will always guide us !!! 03 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here.. God can and does come to us through anyone, not just those with less difficulties or more grace, blessings, etc…Everyone can and does reflect our Lord in some way pretty much. 8:04 PM
Lisa C: I am reading Ascent of Mount Carmel and St. John of the Cross is saying how we have to become empty of everything for God to come into us. Even our thoughts …we have to be empty4 PM
Ruth (guest): Oh, yes, Sr. Susan. Maybe that is why I like Eucharistic Adoration so much.
Aug 9 2015, 8:04 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here ..Empty vessels as the scriptures say
Aug 9 2015, 8:05 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: St. John is excellent!!
, 8:05 PM
Judy K: I wonder if starting the day, even before we get out of bed, with a positive thought, preferably one about our loving God, would help. PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here.. Great idea Judy K
Aug 9 2015, 8:05 PM
Carol Ann: It is a very good place to start
Aug 9 2015, 8:05 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Yes first think, cast your soul upon God when you awake
PM
Ruth (guest): Good observation, Laura.
Aug 9 2015, 8:06 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Great advice Judy !
8:06 PM
Lisa C: If we are detached from everything except God with no agenda we will likely avoid negative thoughtsM
Judy K: Paul’s exhortation that we should pray always is not a bad one. It would certainly keep our thoughts on track. M
Carla Marie Formisano: Great ideas Lisa & Judy
Aug 9 2015, 8:07 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Yes and as Sr Mary Bernaud says- we will be worshipping God in spirit and in truth
Guest2762 (guest): I think to pray always is not only about praying per se, it is a way of being.. 9 PM
Ruth (guest): Hello, we are chatting about guarding our thoughts.
Aug 9 2015, 8:09 PM
Dawn L: Hi Mother Berchmans!
PM
Judy K: Hi Sister and Mother. I met a Vietnamese Visitation sister at the profession. Her name is Sister Luu and she is living in Massachusetts now.
Aug 9 2015, 8:10 PM
Guest7064 (guest): We all have triggers ! Childlike faith prevents us from allowing those triggers to send our thoughts negative ! We stay focused on Gods love and provision no matter what !
Aug 9 2015, 8:10 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: She’s probably connected with the Sr. Thu who was with us this summer.
Aug 9 2015, 8:11 PM
Ruth (guest): There is a Berchmanns Kolleg in Munich, Germany — in a Jesuit house of studies.
Aug 9 2015, 8:11 PM
Guest8124 (guest): Here comes a “newbee!” I have tried to catch up with what you have been sharing and the thought that came to mind was the beauty and power of St. Francis de Sales’ Direction of Intention Prayer. My God, I offer you this day I offer you now all that good that I shall do and I promise to accept for love of you all the difficulty I shall meet. Help me to conduct myself during this day in a manner pleasing to you. AMEN!
Aug 9 2015, 8:11 PM
Judy K: She is a friend of one of the Brothers who made his perpetual profession today.
Aug 9 2015, 8:11 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Yes, named for Mother’s saint – St. John Berchmans.
Aug 9 2015, 8:11 PM
Guest2762 (guest): Laura here..Corinthians says ” take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Phil councils us to guard our hearts and minds in Christ.
12 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Totally, Laura!
Aug 9 2015, 8:12 PM
Judy K: Thanks for sharing that with us 8124
PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Yes, keeping Our Lord always at the center of our lives is the key. PM
SRSUSAN (guest): and the practical way of doing that is certainly the direction of intention quoted abovePM
Guest7064 (guest): Beatiful
Aug 9 2015, 8:14 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Thank you 8124 ! Beautiful
Aug 9 2015, 8:14 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: A long road ahead for me
Aug 9 2015, 8:14 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: SFdS says in the INTRO: “…they who have eaten the herb called angelica have always a sweet and agreeable breath. So also they who have honesty and chastity, which is the angelical virtue, in their hearts have their words always modest and chaste.”
Aug 9 2015, 8:15 PM
Ruth (guest): Yes, 8124. When I was admitting to the hospital a new patient whom others called a “dirt bag” I reminded myself that God lives in him and — to act lovingly — that I may be the only Christ this person ever meets.
Aug 9 2015, 8:15 PM
Judy K: I think that one of the Psalms says something like “Set a seal upon my tongue and a guard over my mouth…” We need a seal and guard over our minds too.
Aug 9 2015, 8:15 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: That’s the OFSF motto, Judy!
Aug 9 2015, 8:16 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Amen Judy !
Aug 9 2015, 8:16 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Oops OSFS
Aug 9 2015, 8:16 PM
Judy K: Is that the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales?
Aug 9 2015, 8:16 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: yes
M
Mary Roberta Viano: SFdS goes on to say in the INTRO: “To speak a little, a practice so much recommended by the ancient sages, does not consist in uttering few words but in uttering none that are unprofitable.” What a goal!
Ruth (guest): Focus. It’s not only a matter of focusing but of WHERE we are focusing, on WHOM.
Aug 9 2015, 8:19 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Great advice, Sr M Roberta!
9 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Focus- yes and with busyness and multi tasking what happens to our focus? 0 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Holy Father says in SPIRIT: “The evil word once spoken can only be recalled by a humble retraction; and even then it may have poisoned a neighbor’s heart.”
Aug 9 2015, 8:20 PM
Carol Ann: it is scattered everywhere
Aug 9 2015, 8:20 PM
Judy K: There are so many wonderful maxims. While it does not relate to tonight’s topic, I share it for what it’s worth: “Live simply so that others might simply live.”
Aug 9 2015, 8:20 PM
Ruth (guest): Sr. M. Roberta, my grandmother had a saying — I think on the wall (and she was a chatterer!) The wise old owl, the more he saw, the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard. Why can’t we be like that old bird!
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Anything without Jesus is nothing , and everything with Jesus is forever !
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Dawn L: if we can think what we are doing in our business is for our Lord, it takes a different perspective
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Retracting gossip=putting toothpaste back in the tube
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: When I realize how easy it is to say the wrong thing or to be misinterpreted, I much prefer to stay silent!
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Carol Ann: me too!
Aug 9 2015, 8:21 PM
Dawn L: haha Carla…so true!
, 8:21 PM
Carol Ann: is that cheating?
Aug 9 2015, 8:22 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: or feathers spilled out of a feather mattress!
Aug 9 2015, 8:22 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: I would know
, 8:22 PM
Guest8124 (guest): A spiritual director once advised me that we should see the challenges that come our way as stepping stones to our personal holiness. When we see them in a positive light they lose some of their negativity and become graces in disguise. This is guest 8124 speaking! 2015, 8:22 PM
Judy K: Very true,8124! 8:23 PM
Ruth (guest): Yes, Sr. M. Roberta, that is the story I was thinking of.
Aug 9 2015, 8:23 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: very true. Those challenges hone us down and make us what Our Lord wants us to be.
Aug 9 2015, 8:23 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Encouraging!
8:23 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Thank you 8124 !!! 3 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: 8124 = Mother Berchmans?

Carla Marie Formisano: Thanks for everyone’s amazing insights
Aug 9 2015, 8:25 PM
Carol Ann: i will have to remember ants this week
25 PM
Ruth (guest): Remember to ask the Holy Spirit to direct our thoughts. PM
Mary Roberta Viano: I really need to take this to heart from the INTRO: “Derision and mockery are exceedingly great sins, so that theologians consider them the worst offenses of which a person can be guilty against his neighbor by means of words.” :26 PM
Carol Ann: oh how true that is
Aug 9 2015, 8:26 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Holy Father attributes that thought to St. Thomas Aquinas.
27 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: I wouldn’t doubt it !
Aug 9 2015, 8:27 PM
Ruth (guest): Children commit suicide because of the mockery of their peers — especially when it goes “global” on the internet.
Aug 9 2015, 8:27 PM
Guest7064 (guest): Thank you Mother ! Your sharing has helped me tonight and this tentire community has helped me after emotionally week !
Aug 9 2015, 8:27 PM
Dawn L: very good quote Sr Mary….important!
8:27 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: That’s our modern-day bullying, don’t you think?
Aug 9 2015, 8:27 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Everyone=image & likeness of God
Dawn L: modern day bullying and not just limited to children but of course hurts them the most!
Aug 9 2015, 8:28 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: for sure!
Aug 9 2015, 8:28 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): The sincerity and spirituality of each of you makes these sessions so special
Aug 9 2015, 8:28 PM
Carol Ann: And for all the candidates to focus on truth and not mockery
Aug 9 2015, 8:28 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: Agree

Lisa C: Thank God for the grace He has given us
Aug 9 2015, 8:29 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: I think that’s where purity of heart comes in – or the 3 monkeys: See no evil…etc.
PM
Carla Marie Formisano: See God!
Aug 9 2015, 8:30 PM
Ruth (guest): Still, sometimes satire can make a true point more obvious.
Aug 9 2015, 8:30 PM
Dawn L: I thank the sisters here for your spiritual direction and for everyones, this chat is special and encouraging
Aug 9 2015, 8:30 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Yes, SEE GOD, HEAR GOD, SPEAK GOD. We can rewrite it that way!
Aug 9 2015, 8:30 PM
Ruth (guest): I like your re-write, Sir. Mary Roberta.
Aug 9 2015, 8:31 PM
Carla Marie Formisano: The only goal
Aug 9 2015, 8:31 PM
SRSUSAN (guest): Yes- great way of putting it Sister!
:31 PM
Judy K: We all need to subject ourselves to the refiners fire. This beautiful poem begins “He sat by a fire of sevenfold heat, as he watched by the precious ore, And closer he bent with a searching gaze as he heated it more and more….So he laid our gold in the burning fire, though we fain would have said him “nay,” and he watched the dross that we had not seen and it melted and passed away And the gold grew brighter and yet more bright; But our eyes were so dimwith tears, We saw but the fire–not the Master’s han8:31 PM
Ruth (guest): The more clearly we see God the closer we are to the Beatific Vision! PM
Dawn L: beautiful Judy….
Aug 9 2015, 8:32 PM
Mary Roberta Viano: Yes, and being fully refined by God into pure gold for His service.
Aug 9 2015, 8:33 PM
Dawn L: like the monkeys!

Guest7064 (guest): Thank You Judy !!!

Guest8124 (guest): My mantra these days is : “GOD IS GOOD!”
Aug 9 2015, 8:33 PM
Judy K: Master’s hand–and questioned with anxious fears. So he waited there with a watchful eye, With a love that is strong and sure,And his gold did not suffer a bit more heat than was neded to make it pure. Author Unknown. Abbreviated due to spac.
