Coffee strong and bold

St. Ia‘s perseverance in faith invites us to re-commit ourselves daily to God.

Remember our friend Val on what would have been their 38th wedding anniversary. May she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mark, who will be remembering their wedding day without her being here to celebrate.

Today
Read Amos 3
RIAY Day 216: Overshadowed by the Spirit
The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood pg. 116: Come to Me in the Power of My Holy Spirit
Meditations for Each Day pg. 308: The Crucifix _{“The world is proud of its scientific and technical progress, whereas the Crucifix is the symbol of the lowliness to which god Himself descended for love of us. The world is looking for pleasure and voluptuousness, whereas the Crucifix preaches to us the spirit of sacrifice and the purifying value of suffering. The world is fond of ease, riches, and honours; the Crucifix demonstrates the depths of the love of God, Who became man for our sakes, suffered and died to redeem us from sin, taught us fraternal love, and commanded us to carry our cross daily if we wished to follow Him.”}
