Good grief, two days in a row of long sleep time. I could get used to this.
Typing job completed. Copy job pending.
The car went in for maintenance yesterday. While that was being done the coil was broken. No car till Monday. Probably a good thing. My house is a disaster and that is a shadow statement at best.
In the Catholic Tradition…The Hour of Trial (Antonio Cardinal Bacci)… Everyone, including saints, has an hour of trial. “One who enters a contest is not crowned unless he has competed according to the rules” 2 Tim 2:5 Even the angels were put on trial and the haughty spirits who rebelled against God were damned forever. Adam & Eve were placed on trial and because they disobeyed God’s command… deprived of supernatural gifts and exiled from earthly paradise. Even Jesus will to endure His hour of trial in the Garden of Gethsemane, before the Sanhedrin, before the judgment seat of Pilate, and on Mt Calvary. He desired this to teach us how to be victorious. Whether physical, moral, or spiritual, these trials affect us greatly. Mt 26: 39-42 “Father, if it is possible let this cup pass away from me; yet not as I will, but as thou willest” , should be our fervent prayer in times of trial.
Know you are prayed for.
Blessings
I have recently had a trial on my mental suffering. After 2 weeks of anxiety and followed slight depression, I saw my doctor yesterday. I am on a new med to give me relief of horrible anxiety that is compared to a panic attack.
But a real trial occurred and I did good. It’s not been easy, but doable. It’s still going on.
Prayers for you. Thanks for the reminder on trials.
Much love
