https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis Magis: The More Loving Option en-us 2021-09-07 09:51:57 UTC 2025-03-16 01:44:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1791944163 I remember being the age of the child in this photo. I remember being dissatisfied with my life, but it wasn't until I locked eyes with a child who was homeless, that I realized the lack of my right to complain at the age of 7. Ever since then, I've thought continuously about how to give back. ]]> 2021-10-05 05:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1791944163 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1802803756 Ms. Patricia organized the first community pantry and inspired me to practice Magis even during these trying times. Despite the challenges we faced, she chose to help because she desired to provide help and share her resources. Even though she was red-tagged, she continued to organize multiple continue pantries that encouraged other people to do more and choose the more loving option regardless of the hate and criticism they received from others.

Everytime I see this photo, I am reminded that  we are not the only ones who are bound to be affected by every action and decision that we make. Hence, whenever I am faced with a situation which calls for a decision to be made, I am inspired to practice the spirit of Magis which would essentially allow me to choose the more, if not the most, loving option out of all the ones that I am given.]]> 2021-10-09 10:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1803912950 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1844220799 This photo features former lifestyle content creator turned documentary maker and climate activist, Jack Harries, who recently announced that he would be hosting a new series called Seat at the Table. The series follows Jack as he speaks with young people around the globe to create a truly global picture of the climate emergency facing our world. This photo reminds me to practice the spirit of Magis because Jack is truly an example of someone who chose the more loving option, by choosing to employ his talent in storytelling and videography to bring awareness and establish concrete action to alleviate pressing concerns such as climate change, beyond simply using his talent to create superficial content that would only provide momentary entertainment to his audience. ]]> 2021-10-26 07:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1844220799 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1874190060 This is a screenshot of a 2014 Thai advertisement that shows a man doing random acts of kindness everyday. Some of the people he helped were a beggar and her daughter; the man kept giving them money and it reached a point where the daughter could afford to go to school. This particular scene inspires me to practice the spirit of Magis because it reminds me that for as long as we continue to do the more loving option, these acts will build up and eventually lead to something beneficial.]]> 2021-11-08 05:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1874190060 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/MsRomeroMagis/wish/1954016494 This picture will always inspire me to practice the spirit of Magis because the image showcases that although these doctors are facing difficulty they still choose to use their time and skill to help those who are suffering. It inspires to always remember that although there is suffering in this world, the only way we can live through it is if we work together through all the trials and tribulations we may face. It inspires us to show love not only to ourselves but to others because it is in love and service for others where we may find fulfillment in our lives since we are living beyond our own lives and making the most of what we have and who we are in life to spread love and service for and with others. -Michael
