We begin a new week and we seem to be peddling the cycle over and over again wondering when normality will come back. Perhaps in searching for it all the time we might be missing the fact that when you grasp the present moment then you realise that today is indeed the new normality and we have to make the most of it for today will not come again. Let me share these little quotes from Pope St John Paul 11 to spur you on:
“Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
And
“It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
