Another Salesian Principle for Holy Living has to include an important element:
Strive for Balance
and Moderation
In this age of texting, tweeting, emailing, voice mailing, etc. etc.it is easy to allow these new "toys" to intrude into our lives, especially in our personal social relations with friends. I use the word "intrude" purposely because I think it is quite easy to become addicted to these social media and this can create an imbalance in our lives.
Perhaps if St. Francis de Sales were with us today he would caution, "Salt and sugar are both excellent things, but too much of either will spoil the dish."
May we discover helpful ways to introduce balance and moderation into our lives!
Sr. Mary Berchmans Hannan, VHM
