Courage II

Let us fix our eyes on the Crucifix in every difficult moment, 

and that gaze will renew our courage.

Courage

Pray for me occasionally that I may not lose courage;

nay, more, that I may be brave enough

to hold up others who falter sometimes.

The Way With Providence

Have confidence in the Providence that so far has never failed us.  The way is not yet clear.  Grope along slowly.

Divine Mercy Sunday

Oh, how beautiful is the world of the spirit!  And so real, by comparison, the exterior life is just a vain illusion and powerlessness.

Happy Easter!

Christ indeed from death is risen,

our new life obtaining.

Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!

Amen.  Alleluia.

Happy, Joyful Easter!!!

Hope of Spring

"Rather the Lord takes pleasure in the devout, those who await his faithful care."

Psalm 147: 11

And so I will wait and hope in the return of Spring.  I know it will come...

Love Your Enemies

And thus we are called.  It is not a request.  It is a command.  As followers of Jesus we are commanded to do one of the most difficult things to do in our lives.  Yes.  Love my enemies.  

I will be on retreat this weekend at St. Meinrad Archabbey and  I will be pondering the words I have been called to print here.  I must be in need of this as the Holy Spirit is not frivolous in his actions.  And so I will pray for you and I ask for prayers for me to our merciful Father.

Thanks be to God!
