Morning Offering given
Receive me,
dear and chosen Father,
and the offering of every
movement of my body and soul,
which I desire to present
through thee to my blessed Lord.
Purify all!
Make all a perfect holocaust!
May every pulsation
of my heart be a Spiritual Communion,
every look and thought an act of love,
every action a sweet sacrifice,
every word an arrow of Divine love,
every step an advance toward Jesus,
every visit to Our Lord
as pleasing to God as the errands of Angels,
every thought of thee, dear Saint,
an act to remind thee that I am thy child.
I recommend to thee the occasions
in which I usually fail, particularly
[Mention these]
Accept each little devotion of the day,
though replete with imperfection,
and offer it to Jesus,
Whose mercy will overlook all,
since He regards not so much the gift
as the love of the giver.
Amen.
Village silent except for the pattering of rain drops
Coffee good, deep rich flavor
Happy May Day!
St Joseph the Worker Day. Offically recognized by the states of Wisconsin & Louisianna.
International Workers’ Day, commemorates the achievements and contributions of workers and the history of labor organizing. The day was established in 1889 by an international federation of socialist groups and trade unions in honor of the Haymarket Riot in Chicago. It serves as a significant display of international solidarity and worker power, with demonstrations and events held worldwide to advocate for workers’ rights and fair labor practices.

RIAY Day 121 The Cost of Compromise
Morning!
Short night for me. Slept in til 6. Rarely done around here. I’ll be in lax again this morning and hope to spend the remainder of the day here at home. The house is a mess, sorely needing my attention. The man planted flowers yesterday. Our daffodils and tulips are up; some are blooming. The greens of resurrection lilies are thru the ground. Purple bee balm & clematis vines are leafing. The plum tree buds are showing the white of flowers. Hostas are thru the ground. I do believe Spring is going to show with a riot of color.
Just as the “Resurrection of Christ” has given us sinners hope of new life, so Spring gives the earth promise of new life. We have had our enemy (satan) telling us for so long that we’re no good, washed-up, underequipped, incompetent, insignificant, unlovable, and not quite up to par. With the resurrection, we can recognize this lie for what it is. Come join me and clearly see Christ has Risen and we can enjoy new life thru him.
Know you are prayed for.
