Happy birthday to RT! Have a wonderful day.

Today’s Ponder… Do I love my cross as Jesus loved his?  Do I willingly bow beneath its load, or do I whine & complain?

Lk 9:23… Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

SC… yes to coffee maker, drink dispenser, and anything else you need.

Know you are prayed for.

Congrats to L&V on their new son LeRoy.

“Never speak in a moment of anger when wounded self-love is boiling up inside us. Make the sacrifice to remain silent for the time being, think humbly about the matter, eventually reply in a spirit of Christian peace.”Antonio Cardinal Bacci

Wow that’s something I really need to be more conscience of. I am generally very quick with the verbage when angry. I can attest to it doing more in the line of damage than healing.

Did you see the elclipse yesterday? I can surely understand how in days of old people would be frightened into thinking something was amiss with the world.

Time to get a move on

Remember when Peter was denying Christ and Christ looked up and stared at him? Can you imagine the shock that went thru Peter when he realized Christ knew he was denying him? Knew he had denyed him and the shame Peter must have felt for doing so? That shame is a good feeling to feel. It motivates one into action… may the action it motivates in you be one that takes you running into Christ’s arms begging his forgiveness for your human response to fear. May you realize how deeply you have fallen into the pit. May you clearly recall all the gifts and favors Christ has given you. May you repent, turn your life around, and walk faithfully with Christ.

Do you remember this little song? It’s a quick easy way to teach about avoiding the near occasion of sin. (A near occasion of sin isn’t a sin but an occasion where one may be tempted. To put oneself in such a situation is imprudent without a sufficient cause, but not always sinful in itself. However, if one deliberately puts oneself in such a situation in the hope of sinning, one has already sinned by willing to sin.)

O be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see

O be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little ears what you hear
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little ears what you hear

O be careful little tongue what you say
O be careful little tongue what you say
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little tongue what you say

O be careful little hands what you do
O be careful little hands what you do
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little hands what you do

O be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little feet where you go
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little feet where you go

O be careful little heart whom you trust
O be careful little heart whom you trust
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little heart whom you trust

O be careful little mind what you think
O be careful little mind what you think
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little mind what you think
So, be careful little mind what you think

Know you are prayed for.

Headed to the shrine today. Cardinal Burke will be there. The confessional will be available and someone will be in it. Will stop and say a prayer for Patty, Kate, and all cmom deceased at the candle house on my way up to the cathedral.

New to me washing machine in place. Habitat for Humanity ReSale Store had it for $75. It is clean and works well. Also found an antique fold top desk with cubbies and drawers. Hope to get that refinished.

J&RY have a new baby boy Andy as of 2100 last night. Mom and baby are home doing well.

Have some copy jobs to do this afternoon. The man will leave early morning to head for IL. Should be home by noon.

Know you are prayed for.
