No, you have approached Mount Zion
and the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and countless angels in festal gathering,

Day 3-St. Andrew’s Christmas Novena & Immaculate Conception Novena

Politics... President Biden gave a full & unconditional pardon to his son Hunter. The pardon covers the tax & gun cases and all other crimes Hunter committed or may have committed in the past decade… so the question remains: do all Jan 6 people get a pardon? President Trump, does he get one too?

Wonderful day yesterday. Very relaxing and enjoyable. The Advent Altar is prepared and the Advent Table is set.

It was fun to clean out the altar and prepare the dining room for the season. Been a while since I’ve felt like decorating.

Today Bacci speaks about “The Blessedness of Those Who Suffer Persecution”
Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you, and, speaking falsely, saying all manner of evil against you, for my sake.  Rejoice and exult, because your reward is great in heaven.” It is comforting to know that any trouble and suffering done as long as it is endured for the love of God will be rewarded. 1 Peter 4:13 “Rejoice, in so far as you are partakers of the sufferings of Christ, that you may also rejoice with exultation in the revelation of his glory.”  It is good for us to sometimes suffer. These help us to humility and rid us of vain glory. Then we can more earnestly seek God. Implore the Holy Spirit to enlighten you and grant you serene joy.

Know you are prayed for.
