The weekend… visiting with old friends… am glad to be home… we are very fortunate to be healthy and mobile… for this I give thanks. My thanks to those who put up with me.
Allergies have kicked in… stuffy nose, watery eyes, oh the joys of post-nasal drip.
Let’s talk about Jesus. Is he a close personal friend of yours? Have you spoken to him lately about your life? Have you been reading about him and his life? The Bible is a great book to do that with.
In the Catholic Tradition let’s talk about Sacred Images. For those who are confronted by the no graven image group Ex 20:4-5… this scripture speaks to false gods/idols, not the real God and his saints. Ex 25:18, Num 21:8 Ps 113:16, Council of Trent, Session 25, and the historian Eusebius talk about adorned symbols and veneration images indicating the presence of God. From the beginning they wore halos, thus they were venerated and you knew of God. This is not a novelty invented by the Catholic church. We must remember not to be excessive in our homage our preference should always be Christ/God/Holy Spirit first.
Know you are prayed for.
