St. Columba shows how much help and comfort we give and receive as companions in faith. Lord, empower me through faithful companions and let me, in turn, lend them my strength and support at every opportunity.

From the Margins (notes found in the margins of books)
I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. May it be my prayer each night as live each day for you. St. Paul 2 Tim 4

Meditations for Each Day, pg. 225, The Crown of Thorns which surrounds the Sacred Heart

Scripture Reading for Day 9 of Dealing with the Enemy
Job 1:6-7 b One day, when the sons of God* came to present themselves before the LORD, the satan also came among them.c 7 The LORD said to the satan, “Where have you been?” Then the satan answered the LORD and said,d “Roaming the earth and patrolling it.”
Isaiah 56:5 I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name* Better than sons and daughters; an eternal name, which shall not be cut off, will I give them.

Morning
Dismal and damp way to start the day but grateful for the moisture. We needed it. Was surprise to see how tall the “scarlet runners” are getting. The flowers in the yard are beautiful. The kitchen continues to move forward. Except for some tweaking the walls are painted and the wainscotting is up. Next stop ceiling, I guess. Not sure when the last cabinet will be ready to hang or the trim work will be completed. I am fortunate the man knows how to do these things. By now you all are probably tired of hearing about this project and wondering if it will ever be completed. I stand in those shoes with you however, I am still blest, grateful, and working on being patient.

I’d like to talk to you about Pray On Paper | Tools to Help You Pray Every Day A year ago I purchased the Examination Journal. Last month I joined the club. Yesterday I received my first envelope. It was filled with things I am going to be examining and using during the month of June. I cannot begin to express the joy packed into that envelope. I think this would be the perfect gift and I know I’ll be looking forward to receiving it each month.

Know you are prayed for.
