AccountDeleted Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 [i]"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." [/i]CS Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After giving thanks for 2011, we turn towards 2012 so I was just wondering what personal resolutions, goals or hopes everyone has for 2012. I know our first hopes are for peace in the world, end to poverty, hunger and disease etc... (and the conversion of all souls ) but on a more personal level? [u][b]Resolutions:[/b][/u] To focus more on the second commandment of Jesus, to love others as myself (as even more, as He loves us) To be a bit more disciplined in some areas of my life that need a little attention. [u][b]Goals:[/b][/u] [i]Short term: [/i]Trip to US to visit Benedictine nuns. [i]Medium term:[/i] Earn enough money for second visit if invited or for a discernment visit to another community if necessary. [i]Long term: [/i]To love God even more and to enter convent. [b]Hopes:[/b] I am hoping to enter a convent before 2013! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InPersonaChriste Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Resolutions: To wake up earlier and go to bed at a reasonable time. To remake my schedule and add time for prayer into my daily life (and to stick to it.. that is the key!). To not be so impertinent Goals: To complete my school with good grades, To visit a community of religious life that I am looking into. To make an effort to finish my literary works. Hopes: That I will have a sturdy prayer life, that I will begin to trust in God more this upcoming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of the Screwtape Letters because it's so true. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I never make resolutions per se but it's a good time of year to push the "reset" button and get back on track. This past year (especially the fall) was extremely stressful for me and it affected my health in a very negative way, so I'm going to try to maintain a sense of balance and pay more attention to my health -- mental, physical and spiritual. I personally expect 2012 to be a great year. I don't know what it is, just a feeling. And it's a great feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
