Reflection 

A Reflection on Love by Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart

Life’s problems can be seen as challenges that help you to grow well and to learn important skills. As God’s creatures are imperfect, so we need to help one another toward a final perfection that is a gift from God.

What difficulty or crisis in your life has taught you a lot? Do you think you have grown from dealing with it? How?

Discipline from parents and teachers and coaches is often not desired, yet it is usually given because of love.

What do you think motivates parents and teachers and coaches? 

Why do they do the things they do for you? 

What is their purpose as they attempt to give you discipline?

How have you benefited from the discipline and influence of parents, teachers or coaches? Have other adults in your life helped you become a more mature individual? 

Who are they and what influence have they had?
