As you may know, I am currently declutter and organizing every drawer, closet, bookshelf in our home. I found a little book/booklet entitled Improve: Now is the Acceptable Time! distributed by the Archconfraternity of Christian Mothers.
I was happy to find that they also have a website. I wrote the priest in charge of this organization for permission to post excerpts from the book. Although, I still have not had a response. I am going to start sharing some of the writings with you because it will be very helpful spiritually. Hopefully, Father grant the permission soon.
IMPROVE:
"If we could manage to eradicate one of our faults every year, how soon it would make perfect people of us." That's a power thought from the Imitation of Christ.
