Ponder… “An evil thought is often the beginning of the greatest of sins.” Bacci
It is essential to resist immediately and resolutely before the thought takes hold of us and arouses our evil instincts and desires.

Please keep my friend DV in your prayers, they are in the path of Milton. They just got back into their house last Dec. from and earlier storm repair.
Mary, Star of the Sea, light of every ocean,
guide seafarers across all dark and stormy seas
that they may reach the haven of peace and light prepared in
Him who calmed the sea.
As we set forth upon the oceans of the world
and cross the deserts of our time, show us,
O Mary, the fruit of your womb,
for without your Son we are lost.
Pray that we will never fail on life’s journey,
that in heart and mind, word and deed,
in days of turmoil and in days of calm,
we will always look to Christ and say,
‘Who is this that even wind and sea obey him?’
Our Lady of Peace, pray for us!
Bright Star of the Sea, guide us!
Our Lady, Star of the Sea, pray for seafarers, pray for us. -Amen

Today’s Ponder…
“You have the obligation to sanctify yourself. Yes, even you.” St Josemaria Escriva
Obligation = an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment.
Sanctify = set apart or declare holy; consecrate.
Something else to ponder when you have a free moment

Great time yesterday playing cards with the extended family. It is a must to do it again soon.
Today let’s look at finding Jesus in the Temple… “Did you not know I must be about my Father’s business?” Jesus is 12 yrs old… his parents are frantic to find him… they search frantic of losing him. Are you frantic over losing Jesus?

Book discussion went well, by that I mean we all showed up, had read the chapter, and then we commenced catching up with each other and wondered why we hadn’t done this before now. Time was too short, but so good. Next week same time.
Today I drive my neighbor to an appointment and back. Then mid afternoon I pick up a teacher and take her home. Another fun, easy day. For this I am grateful.
