Pastoral Care Deportment
In our contemporary society it
often seems that not money but
time enslaves us. How often hove
you said to yourself, "I wish I could
do all the things that I need to do,
but I just don't hove the time?" And
if we really reflect on our busy
days, we realize we do not take
time to "smell the roses." We no
longer have time�time has us! Life
becomes nothing more than a ran-
dom series of incidents and acci-
dents over which we have no con-
trol. A kind of boredom sets in.
But there is another way in which
we can use time�as the opportu-
nity. It is the right time, the real
moment, the chance of our life.
When our time is lived in this man-
ner, it opens up endless possibilities
and offers us a constant opportunity
for a change of heart. This is really
good news because now all events
of life, even the dark events, carry
within themselves the possibility of
becoming the moment of change.
They have the same potential to
transform us into vibrant and full
human beings as they have of de-
stroying us. Boredom no longer ex-
ists because every moment is filled
with infinite meaning. You will be
living your life rather than simply
passing through it.
So use the NOW moment�for
now is the only time
to be
to do
to grow
to love.
Why keep a kiss, a gesture, a
word that gives a moment's plea-
sure or reassurance to someone
else? Money you can't take with
you. Kisses you can't leave behind!

done to ensure a happy return.
Have your car serviced before start-
ing out on long trips.
Once the seat belts are fastened
and because all the driver's concen-
tration should be on the rood, pro-
vide your children with games or
other distractions to quiet their en-
thusiasm until you reach your desti-
nation.
Any time you are in the driver's
seat you should be in control of all
your senses. Your family is trusting
you.
Any outdoor activity will call for
repeated exposure to the sun.
Don't overdo. Use adequate sun
block lotions or wear a hot when
you've had enough.
Enjoy the outdoors on your vaca-
tion by observing a few rules of
safety. Don't allow your vacation to
become a sad disappointment.
