A Daily Dose of God

 

 

 

 

 

St. Therese of Lisieux said, "Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love." 


 

We have all heard at one time or another, “Actions speak louder than Words!

  There is much truth in that statement.  St. Francis Assisi, in his rule for the Franscians stated, “All the Friars … should preach by their deeds.”  (Rule of 1221, Chapter XII)

 

The Christian Life is a life of Prayer, a life centered on Living Jesus, and His Gospel.  We pray not to God but, inside God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our relationship with God is a bond, a covenant.  St. John Paul II said that in the “… Incarnation we see the human face of God & the divine face of humanity.”

 

St. Augustine said, “You have made us for your self, Lord, & our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”  A loving relationship is the communication of feelings, the willed decision to commitment and the openness to the graces that God gives.

 

 

 

As you move through your day remember that the Lord is with you each step, each thought and each action, make them your gifts to the Lord this day.

 

May God Be Praised!

 

 

Join me and cry out from the depths of your heart to the Lord who hears us. 

 

Hear my cry!  “Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal.” [Psalm 143]

God, You are our refuge and our hope, we turn to you during this COVID 19 pandemic and plead for Your intercession.  In Your mercy and Your compassion “… grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners, healing to the sick ….” [Collect from Mass Time in Pandemic]

 

Provide strength to the first responders, compassion to the medical personnel, and wisdom to government leaders.  End this coronavirus scourge.  Bring Your light to all who wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give us hope in Your eternal love today and every day.  Amen.  [Dcn. George Kelly]
