St. Catherine of Sweden teaches us that a strong faith and prayer life begins in the family. Father, may my family better devote themselves to you through common prayer, action, contemplation, and service.
Meditations for Each Day, pg. 111, “The Power of God’s Love in the Christian Life.” Our Love of God should not be merely sentimental; it must be effective, it must be active. Therefore, we must avoid and detest sin, we must strive to become holy… this involves sacrifice and cultivating an intimate union.
Scripture Reading, Day 24 in The Way of the Cross
Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit* offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.k
Morning
Chilly again this morning
Will be in Eau Claire today, shopping the thrift shops. Hope I don’t get home too late in the evening.
Got a different phone yesterday… have I mentioned how inconvenient it is learning a new phone? I waited long as possible but the hearing aides needed the updates that my old one couldn’t provide. Funny how phone companies get you in a position where you must purchase the new instead of providing an update for the old. Oh well, if this one lasts as long as the last one, it will be the last one I have to purchase.
Know you are prayed for
