Good morning to all Veterans wherever you are on God's Beautiful Blue Marble on this R.E.D. Friday!
May they all return home safe and sound...
Today is: “Train Your Mind Day!” Why Not?
"Training of the mind and body leads to awareness of the soul." - B.K.S. Iyengar
"The strength of the scientific establishment in any country is related to its general level of education, not only in supplying large numbers of eager minds for further training, but also in ensuring a public opinion that holds science in esteem and approves financial support." - Arthur Lewis
"Training and managing your own mind is the most important skill you could ever own, in terms of both happiness and success." - T. Harv Eker
"You are a dynamic whole greater than the sum of your parts. By integrating your body, mind, and emotions through training, you reshape your life." - Dan Millman
"Education, in its highest sense, is conscious training of mind or body to act unconsciously. It is conscious formation of mental habits, not mere acquisition of information." - William George Jordan
"You are always training yourself to be, mind and body, as clear as crystal, and you always are, and never change; whereas I am a muddy, solitary, moping weed." - Charles Dickens
And just how does training the mind affect leaders? Read on...
“As a leader your mindset impacts your leadership. Train the mind to improve internal perceptions, external experiences, and improve overall relationships. Learn to expect the unexpected, separate and embrace your emotions, and focus on controlling the controllable. — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Saint John Henry Newman

Saint of the Day for September 24
(February 21, 1801 - August 11, 1890)

Saint John Henry Newman's Story
John Henry Newman, the 19th-century’s most important English-speaking Catholic theologian, spent the first half of his life as an Anglican and the second half as a Roman Catholic. He was a priest, popular preacher, writer, and eminent theologian in both churches.
Born in London, England, he studied at Oxford’s Trinity College, was a tutor at Oriel College, and for 17 years was vicar of the university church, St. Mary the Virgin. He eventually published eight volumes of Parochial and Plain Sermons as well as two novels. His poem, “Dream of Gerontius,” was set to music by Sir Edward Elgar.
After 1833, Newman was a prominent member of the Oxford Movement, which emphasized the Church’s debt to the Church Fathers and challenged any tendency to consider truth as completely subjective.
Historical research made Newman suspect that the Roman Catholic Church was in closest continuity with the Church that Jesus established. In 1845, he was received into full communion as a Catholic. Two years later he was ordained a Catholic priest in Rome and joined the Congregation of the Oratory, founded three centuries earlier by Saint Philip Neri. Returning to England, Newman founded Oratory houses in Birmingham and London and for seven years served as rector of the Catholic University of Ireland.
Before Newman, Catholic theology tended to ignore history, preferring instead to draw deductions from first principles—much as plane geometry does. After Newman, the lived experience of believers was recognized as a key part of theological reflection.
Newman eventually wrote 40 books and 21,000 letters that survive. Most famous are his book-length Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine, Apologia Pro Vita Sua—his spiritual autobiography up to 1864—and Essay on the Grammar of Assent. He accepted Vatican I’s teaching on papal infallibility while noting its limits, which many people who favored that definition were reluctant to do.
When Newman was named a cardinal in 1879, he took as his motto “Cor ad cor loquitur”—“Heart speaks to heart.” He was buried in Rednal 11 years later. After his grave was exhumed in 2008, a new tomb was prepared at the Oratory church in Birmingham.
Three years after Newman died, a Newman Club for Catholic students began at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In time, his name was linked to ministry centers at many public and private colleges and universities in the United States.
In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI beatified Newman in London. Benedict noted Newman’s emphasis on the vital place of revealed religion in civilized society, but also praised his pastoral zeal for the sick, the poor, the bereaved, and those in prison. Pope Francis canonized Newman in October 2019. Saint John Henry Newman's liturgical feast is celebrated on October 9.
Reflection
John Henry Newman has been called the “absent Father of Vatican II” because his writings on conscience, religious liberty, Scripture, the vocation of lay people, the relation of Church and State, and other topics were extremely influential in the shaping of the Council’s documents. Although Newman was not always understood or appreciated, he steadfastly preached the Good News by word and example.

I expect you recognize that the LORD is in complete control of every aspect of our lives. Life may well seem to ebb and flow like the ocean with periods of calm and turmoil. HE builds patience in us through trials and testing as well as self-control. I expect that your resilience in the face of unexpected trials and testing has grown significantly since your personal salvation. I hope that you are calm in unexpected situations and help others to calm down and remain calm in stressful circumstances. 'Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.' [Romans 12:2 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I pray for common sense, stability, calmness under pressure, and an increase of the fruit of the spirit goodness and self-control for each and every adopted son and daughter of God who reads this prayer or listens to it. As mature believers, we understand that oftentimes the trials and testing seasons we face are for the benefit of others as well as ourselves. When we face unexpected challenges, it is wise to seek the LORD’s guidance. 'Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.’ [James 1:12 ESV].
I lift those going through unexpected challenges to YOU LORD. I thank YOU for preparing each of us as YOU use testing to burn off the dross from our character and firm us up. I hope that each of us are thankful for all YOU do for us including the good and the bad. YOU shape our character through challenges and trials. Enable us to learn quickly the lessons we need to learn for ourselves. Empower us to share what we have learned to bless other individuals. ‘Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ [Romans 5:3-5 ESV]
I pray that the LORD cleanses each of us any impurity which hinders HIS love from flowing through us and that we increasingly demonstrate compassion for others who are suffering, including widows, widowers and orphans in their distress. I expect that your character has been firmed in the fires of testing and that and that you are kind enough to offer hope to many. ‘we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ [Romans 5:3b-5 ESV]
I pray that you and those you love are healthy and that you each slept well Friday night and each awoke refreshed Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Rally Point. It's another RED Friday and we are starting out with sunshine and cool fall temperatures here in Northern Virginia.
Train your mind. Your mind is your "strongest muscle" and it controls not just your body but everything you do, think and say. Training it is critical to leading a good, positive life. There are so many ways to do this: mindfulness, meditation, reading, discussion groups, therapy/counseling, CBT, biofeedback, prayer, etc. The list goes on and on. If one doesn't work for you, don't give up, try another track. It's important that we all work to make our minds the strongest, most positive we can.

By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
