A Daily Dose of God

 

As we suffer through COVID 19 and Election 2020 fatigue I offer you three items today two visual and one story.  May you day be blessed.

 

Here is the story for you; it is about a 3-year girl whose parents just brought her newborn baby brother home from the hospital.  She excitedly asked if she could be alone with her brother for a few minutes?

 

Her parents hesitated but said o.k. since they had the baby monitor in his room & it was on.  She went in walk next to his crib and whispered, “Tell me about God I’ve almost forgotten.”             (Celebrations 1/18/15)

 

As disciples we are called to search for God; to search for what we’ve almost forgotten.  Jesus asks us, What in the deepest part of your being are you searching for?  He tells us to Follow Him and to Trust Him

 

This advice from St. Teresa of Calcutta [a.k.a. Mother Teresa] can help us,

"God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be."

 

We are called to pray, to do our best and to trust the Lord, it is that simple and that difficult.  Have you almost forgotten?  Go the crib of your heart God is waiting for you.

 

May God Be Praised!

COVID 19 Pandemic Prayer

 

Hear my cry!  “Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal.”  You are my refuge and my hope, I 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 ….”

[Psalm 143 and 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.  Send Your light to me as I wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give me hope in Your eternal love today and every day.  Amen.  [Dcn. George Kelly]
