Birthday Greetings to John H and Lois B. Hoping both have a blest day!
St Katharine Drexel encourages us to stand against bigotry in all forms wherever we encounter it, whether in our communities or churches. Jesus, cleanse me of prejudice and let me be a friend to those who are persecuted and discriminated against.
Scripture Reading for Day 3
Galatians 2:20 yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.p
Meditations for Each Day, pg.85, The Shortness of Time How often we complain of the swiftness of time… Weigh it all up… How many hours do I spend… in useless pursuits of idle conversation or excessive entertainment or serious sin? How many hours do I spend… in prayer…mortification… apostolic work… helping my neighbor? Really heavy on one end, isn’t it? Let us determine to make good the deficit, resolve to use God’s precious gift of time in a manner befitting a reasonable human being and Christian.
I am guilty of wasting time… every day I get lost in the sloth of one kind or another. My days look scheduled, but mixed in there, I could be doing so much more with my faith life. Some days I even find myself making myself busy to avoid doing something I don’t really want to do, but that really needs doing. Make some time today to look at yourself, how you conduct your time, and why you plan it that way.
Know you are prayed for.
