"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace in the world." [St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta]
To mutter something with the lips is not praying if one’s heart is not joined to it…. Prayer is nothing other than speaking to God.” [St. Francis de Sales]
“We do not have to be saviors of the world! We are simply human beings, enfolded in weakness and in hope, called together to change our world one heart at a time.” [Henri Nouwen]
We should begin with our own heart, give it to Jesus Our Lord and take each moment as His gift of shining the light of God on earth. Then we will “Tune [our] spirit to the music of heaven.” [St. Brendan the Navigator]
St. Joseph pray for us.
St. Andre Bessette intercede for us.
St. Francis de Sales pray for us.
May God Be Praised.
Join me and pray, God, our refuge, and hope, we turn to You during this COVID 19 Pandemic and plead for Your intercession. In Your mercy and compassion, You carry the dead home and give us grace to comfort each other. As the Pandemic persists, in its Delta variant form and we try to return to “normal” life, may that “normal” be filled with prayer and thanksgiving for You and for the many blessings You give us. May we follow Your Light as we continue our earthly journey and prepare for the gift of eternal life. Amen.
Hey, Deacon George!
ReplyDeleteIndeed... like racing up to a stop light, eh?
Most of us could do with a bit more of Psalm 46: 10 in our lives, I'm sure.
Anyway... just a quick note of affirmation and thanks for your work! Keep the faith!
Peace
Thank you for your prayers.
