Welcome to the first posting of the Fit Shepherds’ newsletter. The aim here is to connect men to Christ through short, practical posts. Please subscribe in order to get one every week.
To listen to the podcast — only 4 minutes long — please click above. It has tips on prayer by Fr. Steven Borello, the diocesan director of vocations. He will be giving a Parish Mission at Ss. Peter and Paul in Naperville on prayer from April 1-3. See photo below for more information.
A primary aspect of this newsletter will be a couple of short inspirational/spiritual quotes that are aimed to giving you food for thought during the week.
“My little children, your hearts, are small, but prayer stretches them and makes them capable of loving God. Through prayer we receive a foretaste of heaven and something of paradise comes down upon us. Prayer never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey that flows into the souls and makes all things sweet. When we pray properly, sorrows disappear like snow before the sun.”-- Saint John Vianney'We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master; now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.” -- St. Ignatius of Loyola
