September brings with it a rush of change. Children and teachers head back to school. The days grow shorter and colder. It’s a time of transition in many ways. It begins with the feast day of Mother Teresa who reminds us of an eternal truth: through all the seasons and changes of life, the present moment is all we can control. But that’s enough, because every moment is a chance to do something beautiful for God.
Here are 10 sources of inspiration to help you do something beautiful for God this
month.

Shine through us and be so in us
that every soul we come in contact with
may feel your presence in our soul…
