Brian Skerry “… is an award-winning National Geographic photographer and documentary producer, specializing in marine wildlife and underwater environments. His four-part docuseries Secrets of the Whales premiered April 22 on Disney+…. I came away with a striking observation. Genetically identical species of whales behave differently depending on where they live—much like humans…. Family is immensely important to them. Within orca families, individuals live nearly five times longer if grandmothers are present….
We can see ourselves in these creatures. Humans also speak different languages, enjoy different foods, and pass down family traditions. But perhaps most strikingly, we also rely on one other. The moments we spend with our loved ones are often the most treasured and meaningful in our lives. Just as belugas do, in between the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, it’s essential for us to make time for other things—things that bring joy.”
St. Théodore Guérin said, “For true hearts there is no separating ocean; or, rather, God is their ocean, in Whom they meet and are united; they love and lose themselves in Him and in each other."
“I made the mountains tall & the valleys low, they are my gift to all, my gift to you.
You cannot serve two masters, only one; The one to serve is the Lord your God.
His help is open to those who seek Him and God’s glory shines forever. The Lord God offers Mercy, and His Faithfulness never ceases. Jesus brings Justice and Peace together in THE divine embraced. Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven.” [Dcn. George Kelly]
In the ocean of life on dry land these words from John Wooden, the legendary UCLA basketball coach offer us great advice, at times they may be a life-preserver for us. “Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”
Today take a few minutes to think about the ocean you are swimming in and how you are swimming in it.
St. Joseph pray for us.
St. Francis de Sales pray for us.
May God Be Praised.
