Scripture Reading for Day 22 of “He is Risen”

Luke 24:5-7They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? c6 He is not here, but he has been raised.* Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”d

Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, my soul; and do not forget all his gifts,

Sarah Trent’s book is finally out “Launch into the Deep”. On my order list.

Health wise… It shouldn’t be this difficult. Water retention is probably due to no equipment coming with me and too much sitting. Neuropathy is getting worse, the same reason along with scorpions in the lawn… No strolling out there!

Yesterday’s Levi & Lee finds are a great fit.

Know you are prayed for.

Scripture Reading for Day 21 of “He is Risen“

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride^* say, “Come.” Let the hearer say, “Come.” Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water.^k

Luke 24:3-4 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.^b

Too much sitting…

Too much rich spicy food…

Today will wash/flush out the system.

We’ve noticed while traveling the lack of care in spending. Everyone seems to use plastic to purchase… cash seems to be obsolete. Almost as if cost is of no importance or debt holds no consequence.

Luke 24:1-2 But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;

1 Chronicles 28:20. Then David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and steadfast, and go to work; do not fear or be dismayed, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or abandon you before you have completed all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.^k

Good Morning!

Mass yesterday at St. Andrew’s was full. The children were many. The KC’s visible. Emmaus Sunday is one of our favorites. The parish has been praying for rain. Prayers were answered. They’ve had it a couple days now. Spillways are running. Cacti are in bloom. The Texas desert is coming alive.

A quote to remember… ” In faith we see; in faith we hear; in joy we praise. Open our eyes to see. Open our ears to hear. Strengthen our faith to receive your joy.”

Today the man will begin his fixing jobs. I will go thrifting. Tonight we’ll eat out.

Today we remember Kathryn & Dick Muphy on their anniversary. We also remember Barb Ogden who left this world or the next on this day in 2022. May they rest in peace.

St. Marie Bernadette Soubirous demonstrates that God may use the weakest among us to bring His healing message to the world. Father, open my heart and my mind to all miracles and apparitions sent from You so that I may rejoice in Your everlasting love.

Meditations for Each Day, pg. 144, The Meaning of Easter. Examine the depth of your soul and discover the sin which you are most accustomed to commit and the virtue you are principally lacking. It will be a hard battle which will necessitate a constant vigilance and a readiness to begin again each time you realise you have fallen. It will require an unfailing spirit of prayer, but the final victory will bring you such happiness that worldly pleasure will seem empty and illusory by comparison.

Scripture Readings Day 16 of He is Risen!
Romans 6:5 For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.^e
Matthew 26:53-54 Do you think that I cannot call upon my Father and he will not provide me at this moment with more than twelve legions of angels? 5 4But then how would the scriptures be fulfilled which say that it must come to pass in this way?”

St. Cesar de Bus, we learn to respect and support both men and women who devote their lives to spreading the faith. Jesus, help me to celebrate all people, regardless of gender, who serve you and spread your teachings.

WOW, wow! The hail, baseball-sized, caused lots of damage. The man’s truck is probably totaled. I, on the other hand no damage, and none on the other vehicles or the house either. God is good. During all of this, I was driving home from Readstown and made the decision to take 131 instead of 14… large hail on 14. Got to Viola, saw a huge black cloud in the sky, thinking, well, that doesn’t look good, a weather alert went off on the phone. All we were experiencing was a slight drizzle, and little of that. Drove into LaFarge, saw people standing around the yards visiting. No wind, no rain, no hail. Continued on. Later, finding out a tornado had touched down moments before we got to LaFarge. Rivers of water running in the ditches, small pea-sized hail on the ground. We experienced a bit of rain sprinkling the windshield.

Birthday Greetings to Ryan F and Heidi C

St. Hermenegild shows that our first bound must be to God and to reject family members who oppose God’s will. Jesus, give me the strength to make Your commandments and Your will my objective, no matter how it may strain my other relationships.
