APOSTOLATE of SMILING

Just a little Smile on YOUR Lips

Cheers your heart.

Keeps you in good humour

Preserves peace in your soul

Promotes your health

Beautifies your face

Induces kindly thoughts

Inspires kindly deeds.





SMILE TO YOURSELF
until you notice that your constant seriousness, or even severity, has vanished.

SMILE TO YOURSELF
until you have warmed your own heart with the sunshine of your cherry countenance. Then -

Go Out - And Radiate Your Smile

That SMILE has work to do - Work to Do for God.

You are an Apostle now, and Your Smile is your Instrument for Winning Souls.

Sanctifying grace Dwelling in your Soul will give the special Charm to your Smile which will render it productive of much good.

Count if you will the number of smiles Your smile has drawn from other in one day. The number will represent how many times you have promoted contentment, joy, satisfaction, encouragement, or confidence in the hearts of others. These good dispositions always give birth to unselfish acts and noble deeds. The influence of your smile is spreading though you do not always see the wonders it is working.

SMILE TOO, AT GOD

Smile at God in loving acceptance of whatever He sends into your life, and you will merit to have the radiantly Smiling Face of Christ gaze on you with special love throughout Eternity.
