Isaiah’s Vision
Isaiah offers us this magnificent vision “In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills…. They shall beat their swords into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another nor shall train for war again.”
Today ponder Isaiah’s vision and praise God.
May God Be Praised.
Remembering 9/11/2001
Today we should take time to remember and reflect on the events of 9/11, for many they are seared into their hearts and minds, for others it is a time to learn about 9/11. Take time to search your heart for the pain and hurt you haven’t forgiven yet, especially those in our families. 9/11 taught us many lessons - - one of the most important is how fragile life is - - so today forgive in your families because tomorrow may be too late.
The Greek playwright Aeschylus wrote, “And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful* grace of God.” [*awful in ancient Greek meant awe-inspiring or awesome]
“Wisdom through the awful grace of God” is a powerful insight into life itself. Today we should reflect on the “awful grace of God” assured that God’s Grace will guide our life here and will carry us to the Joy of God’s love in eternity.
May God Be Praised!
I wonder as I wander.
I will remember the Words of the Lord, as I recall His wonders of old. Today is filled with uncertainty, what difficulties and joys will enfold while I walk with the Lord.
What good can I do this day?
Any good that I do I give to You, Lord. Any hardships I encounter I ask for You grace to handle.
May God Be Praised.
Finding the Way
Lord, help us evade worldly allurements that will lead us into sin; we prefer to dwell in Your house. We pray for the strength avoid the allurements of the mansion of luxuries, for the shed of Your grace.
Climb the mountain of life with us, so we may find the mountaintop of Your Way.
May God Be Praised.
Today we celebrate the
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, let us go to her in times of need and in
times of thanksgiving.
The prophet Jeremiah tells us, "When you look, for me, you will find
me.
Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me with you, says the
Lord ...."
With Mary and St. Teresa of Calcutta, i.e. Mother Teresa we are reminded us to
seek the Lord with all our heart, trust Him and He will do the rest.
May God Be Praised!
“You’re not here by chance, but by God’s choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are … He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.” [Roy Lessin]

Thank you for the Birthday well wishes and prayers.
Today is my 76th birthday and I believe that the hardest prayer to pray and to live is “…thy will be done ….”
Dear Lord, give me the grace to know Your Will and the courage to do Your Will.
May God Be Praised.
