The man sleeps, we were up much too late last night

I did not sleep well. I can hear this sound, like an alarm warbling, all night long. No luck in finding it, although I cased the entire house. I can still hear it as I sit here. high, low, high, low long…sending me out of my mind. It must be something with tinnitus because the man hasn’t been bothered by it. Gotta love the golden years.

Rest in peace Aunt Louise (1997)

From the Margin… from the BVM… “Silence and obscurity”, that is what I ask of you. Let the light of the Lord shine through you in your daily duties. Many misunderstand this and think that they must be in the public eye to do great things for God. It is often quite the contrary. Silence and obscurity-as I was in Bethlehem and Nazareth.

Question of the Day… Whose feet are you washing today?

Saint of the Day… St Hilary. Bishop of Arles. He found himself prey to a violent interior contest. “On the one side, I felt that the Lord was calling me, whilst on the other hand the seductions of the world held me back.” and “My will swayed backward and forwards, now consenting, now refusing. But at last, Christ triumphed in me.” I’m thinking many of us today could say things like this about our spiritual journey. As I look at myself I can certainly see it.

Guess I’d best stop lollygagging and get the suitcase packed.

Know you are prayed for.
