HOW TO BECOME MORE CLASSY AND INTELLIGENT AS A WOMAN Being classy is not about bleaching your skin, wearing designer bags, or speaking through your nose. And intelligence? It’s not about speaking big grammar and forming British accent. If you want to truly be a classy and intelligent woman, start here, 1. Read, sis. I’m not saying become a professor overnight. But carry books. Read. Listen to podcasts. Watch YouTube videos that feed your brain, not just celebrity gossips. 2. Speak with sense. You don’t have to talk all the time. But when you do, let people feel your wisdom. Speak gently. Speak with respect. Speak to add value, not to scatter everywhere. 3. Dress like you respect yourself. You don’t need a wardrobe full of clothes. Just know how to package yourself with confidence, decency, and class. 4. Maturity in how you handle things. Not everything requires quarrels. Not every insult deserves a reply. Sometimes, your silence is the loudest clapback. 5. Improve your mindset. The way you think affects how you act. Stop thinking small. Stop seeing yourself as a victim. You’re a woman with power. Think big. Think wise. 6. Don’t move with noise makers. Classy women are intentional about their company. Hang around women who lift your standards, not those who drag you into drama every day. 7. Pray and glow differently. Spiritual depth gives you peace that shows in your walk, your talk, and your decisions. Real elegance comes from the inside out.HOW TO BECOME MORE CLASSY AND INTELLIGENT AS A WOMAN Being classy is not about bleaching your skin, wearing designer bags, or speaking through your nose.

*CATHOLIC MEDITATION: 14 June, 2025.* ⛪📖🖊️ *SATURDAY* 🟩10TH WEEK - ORDINARY TIME, YEAR C 🟩 *1st R* : 2 Cor. 5:14-21. *Resp. Psalm* : Ps. 103. *R/ - The Lord is compassionate and gracious.* *Gosp.* : Mtt. 5:33-37. *Message:* *DO NOT SWEAR AN OATH BUT FULFILL THE VOWS YOU MAKE.* _To swear is to make a declaration and invite God to be a witness e.g "l will support the Church project, l swear to God". To swear and not do it is making a fool of God and a partner to your lies. How can you profane God's name by invoking him to be a witness to falsehood? Therefore, do not swear. Just say it and make your promises or vows. Let your YES be Yes and let your NO be No. We make vows at Baptism, weddings, and ordinations. My vows to the Lord l will fulfil. What then is the difference between making promises, vows, and making oaths or swearing? Listen to the meditation._ YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/w3l74NX3x5U *Fr. Blessed Ambang Njume*

*CATHOLIC MEDITATION: 13 June, 2025.* ⛪📖🖊️ *FRIDAY* 🟩10TH WEEK - ORDINARY TIME, YEAR C 🟩 *Memorial* : St. Anthony of Padua, (Priest & Doctor of the Church). *1st R* : 2 Cor. 4:7-15. *Resp. Psalm* : Ps. 116. *R/ - A thanksgiving sacrifice l make to you, O Lord.* *Gosp.* : Mtt. 5:27-32. *Message:* *ALL IS GOD'S GRACE. DO NOT PRIDE YOURSELF BUT ABANDON YOURSELF TO HIS GRACE.* _God has entrusted great treasure(ministry of the Gospel) to us, unworthy as we are(clay pots/earthenware jars). We are beset with limitations and human weaknesses, yet if we are able to do well, it is thanks to God's grace. The power is God's not ours. It is he who does great things and accomplishes much through us and in us. On our own, we can not. We can not boast. We are rather humbled._ YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/XaY_uJqRziA *Fr.

*CATHOLIC MEDITATION: 12 June, 2025.* ⛪📖🖊️ *THURSDAY* 🟩10TH WEEK - ORDINARY TIME, YEAR C 🟩 *1st R* : 2 Cor. 3:15 - 4:1, 3-6. *Resp. Psalm* : Ps. 85. *R/ - The Lord's glory will dwell in our land.* *Gosp.* : Mtt. 5:20-26. *Message:* *DO NOT KILL OTHERS PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY.* _Sin is not and should not be limited only to grievous things as killing, stealing or adultery/fornication, such that not to do the above makes one think one is holy and exonerated. Jesus says to insult others is sinful as well, and we shall be judged, and insulting others can take us to hell. Besides, insults kill others emotionally and psychologically. Killing is not only physical with weapons. We have killed many persons emotionally and psychologically with our gossip and insults and with our bad actions towards them. What is more! We have killed others too with our angry looks that pierce deeper than swords or bullets._ YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/SpG4GRYAk_Y *Fr. Blessed Ambang Njume*
