Birthday greetings to Henry C, who is 9 today.

St Clare, founder of the Poor Clares, teaches us selfless dedication to Christ.

Today
Read Amos 9. This is the end of the Book of Amos. Tomorrow we will begin Hosea.
RIAY Day 223: Now and at the Death
The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood, pg. 120, “My Triumph is at Hand”. This is the last entry in the book. We will begin again in January of 2026.
Meditations for Each Day, pg. 320 “The Parable of the Talents” _{We are all servants to whom our heavenly Father has entrusted various talents. Some have been given more than others. By our own labour and industry, we must all make profitable use of the talents which we have received. The ungrateful and slothful servant who does not make good use of his talents will be severely punished. But a happy reward awaits the good and faithful servant who has worked zealously all his life for his Master’s interests until the talents which he has received have produced an increase of sanctity in himself and in others.}

Good Morning!

Once again, Monday has arrived. I’m no further ahead than I was last week. This has a tendency to become quite depressing as I look at the short number of weeks left in 2025. There is no possible way the to-do list will be completed before snow flies. It seems that the list is only important to me. It seems the list has only been important to me for the past 6 years. That’s how old the 1st item on the list is. We won’t even calculate the age of some of the items that have been started and left unfinished. I apparently have a different set of “must get done” than anyone else has.

Work continues on the Family History information. Frankly, I’m not even sure why I am worried about that. Once I’m gone, there doesn’t appear to be anyone interested in continuing on with it.

Ah, yes, the complaining day. Nuff said before I talk myself into being depressed.

Know you are prayed for.
