"Life is not about doing and having. It's about becoming. Our obsession with doing and having has led us astray." From Matthew Kelly's Introduction to the 100th Anniversary Edition of Velveteen Rabbit

We all desire more and not less.

We think that in order to become more, we have to do more.

Or we think we need more to become more.

We think less of ourselves if we do not have or do more.

Thankfully, God's definition of more is different from our own definitions.

"Aspire not to have more, but to be more." St. Oscar Romero

Life is about becoming the person God created you to be.

Not less, more.

More holy moments.

What are holy moments?

Moments we collaborate with God.

He wants us to ask Him for more of His grace.

We cannot become more without Him.
