Blessed Mother, please help my husband & I be more and more committed to you and to your Holy Catholic Church. Please help us to grow in faith and to pass that faith onto our children. May it permeate every aspect of our life so there is no question WHO we put first in our lives so our children see this and learn from it. Thank you for our faith, may we never take it for granted.
Humans always wanting to be God. Satan tempted 1st, Adam & Eve, then tried to tempt Christ (the new Adam).
Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil. (The first temptation)
Matthew 4:3,6 (3) And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (6)And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
But Christ was having none of the devil’s sly words
Philippians 2:6-8 Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
Christ finally gave himself up to death and undid the first sin. Lent is a time to dwell on how Christ took our sin unto himself and saved us from ourselves. Look at your sins, really look…bad habits, quick anger, resisting God’s will for you. Get out pen and paper, make that list, find a confessional, and repent, so that you can spend eternity with Christ.
Jesus, give me the grace to submit to you in all things.
Coffee was okay today, I am surprised at that. My head cold is better but not great. Perhaps the stuffiness will break today and the sinus’ will drain, relieving the headache and plugged ears. No fever. Sore throat is abating. For a while there in the night it felt like razor blades cutting me. Definitely an infection with yellow mucus. Okay, I will stop being graphic.
Passed on a baby run this morning, just couldn’t do it. Too ill. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day so I can meet my commitments to teachers/students/and medical appointments. Perhaps I should find out if they even want to chance it.
The house is a mess…anyone have a magic wand?
Need a new library book.
How’s life in your world. Please know it is okay for you to make comments here. I’d welcome them.
Know you are prayed for.
