Your Monday Hug for Sep 8, 2025: Forget It!

Happy Monday, my Friend!

Happy Birthday, Mother Mary!

This week, my little reminder for you is simple: Forget It. We all get stuck replaying mistakes or missed opportunities - but holding on doesn’t help. Let go, trust God, and make space for His grace today.

Easier said than done, I know. I work on it every single day. One thing that helps me is surrounding myself with reminders of God’s love - little prompts that help me release what I can’t control and trust Him to take care of it.

Yesterday was historic: Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati were canonized! Both were young, both loved Jesus in the Eucharist, and both spent their lives actively bringing others closer to Him. I love what Pier Giorgio said to his friends: “The first of us to go to heaven will help the other to climb up.” Even our smallest prayers, acts of kindness, or moments of faith can lift someone else closer to Christ.

This week’s saints - from Our Lady of the Nativity to St. John Chrysostom - remind us that God walks with us through both triumphs and trials. Let’s embrace life fully, let go of what holds us back, and trust God in the process.

In this week’s Weekly Hug, we reflect on how forgetting past setbacks doesn’t mean ignoring them - it means trusting God with what we can’t change and moving forward with a light heart.

Untying the Knots Within – One Step at a Time

Looking for a simple way to pause and care for your family this week? Here are a few gentle ideas:

• Mini Prayer / Quiet Practice: Take a slow breath and say, “Lord, help me release what I cannot change and trust You with today.”
• Saint Companion:

• Blessed Virgin Mary (Nativity, Sept 8) – reminds us that beginnings are sacred.

• St. Peter Claver (Sept 9) – inspires patience and service despite obstacles.

• St. John Chrysostom (Sept 13) – shows how words and actions rooted in love can heal both ourselves and others.
  

• Rosary Moment / Product Tip: Use a Single-Decade Traveler’s Rosary while reflecting on letting go. Why the Traveler’s Rosary? Because traveling takes action - it reminds us that letting go isn’t passive; it’s an intentional step forward. Touch each knot and silently release a worry or regret. This simple practice transforms your rosary into a tool for peace, clarity, and fresh perspective, helping you move through life with trust and purpose.
