-RIP Gary Packer (1990)
-Belated Anniversary (June 1) greetings to Tom & Cheryl C, 23 yrs
-St. Erasmus, Patron of Sailors, reminds us that even in the midst of great difficulties and emergencies, God is our refuge.
-Antonio Cardinal Bacci reminds us (pg 216 Meditations for Each Day) that “it is the mystery of the immeasurable love of God that He became man, suffered, and died for us. We should offer Him in return not only the affection of our hearts but also our adoration, gratitude, and the dedication of our entire lives in His service.”
-Mariamante (pg 80 The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood)in a vision of Our Lord with His Sacred Heart exposed, Jesus said, “The abyss of charity and virtue which is My Heart is yours for the asking. I wish to give My Heart to all who call upon Me in faith and Love. I am in need of those to love Me in reparation for the sins of the world.”
-Read Micah 2, memorize the verses that speak to you.
-RIAY Day 153 From St Joseph to Jesus

Good Morning!
The man is off to MO today, returning on Wednesday.
Many thanks to those who prayed someone would be found for the w/c chair route. Someone has been. Please continue to pray for someone to be found for the NW route. I really need to not take this route.
Took a couple to the hospital last night for a baby delivery. No word yet from them.
My week looks to be relatively easy, and I really desire to keep it that way.
Life is good

June has arrived, this month, we concentrate on the “Sacred Heart of Jesus”.

Lovely time yesterday at the Kircher’s, remembering Valerie and Bike to Mary. The porch was peaceful, food was great, and Val was missed, but her essence was there.

You cannot be a faithful Christian and vote for this.

Jesus is clear… Love the sinner, hate the sin… this would be saying, “Hey, go ahead and go against  natural law, Christian law; feeding the sin promotes the devil’s agenda.”

Today…
..The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
..St Petronilla illustrates that no woman or man can dictate God’s will to us if god Himself shows us another way.
..Mariamante May 31, 1987… Jesus said, “Behold the Heart which has loved mankind so much and been loved so little in return. Love Me as you should, and I will live in you.”
..Antonio Cardinal Bacci…”In the second part of the Hail Mary, the Church places on our lips these words of supplication? “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” How many times we have recited this prayer! But do we ever think of death? Let us remember that a meditation on death is the most valuable lesson in life. One day we shall find ourselves face to face with God, drawing our last breath on earth.”

Take a personal inventory and finish up this last day of the month in good order. Make your confession… 1st Sunday is tomorrow. Spend more than 5 seconds on this. Your eternal salvation may depend on it.

How many drops of maple tree sap does it take to make a gallon?

Why do non Amish people park in front of hitching posts?

Why are the window cashiers at WCCU so slow to come to the window, seem like they are going to catch some kind of germ thru the window, and last but not least, slow as molasses in January?

Today is the Ascension of Jesus
Read Acts 1
RIAY Day 149 Littleness Before the Lord

The bridal wreath shrubs are outstanding this year. I am always amazed by how lovely they make the yard look.

Today’s plan is to see “The Last Rodeo” at 1pm at the Sparta 6. We’ve been trying to catch decent movies there when we can. A great senior price of $8 and an awesome $5 Mondays (ticket & popcorn). In June, we have “The Ritual” on the list. This movie is an authentic portrayal of the Emma Schmidt exorcisms (the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history). Perhaps July will find us watching the new “Superman” movie, and in August, “Americana”.

_{O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests;
for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially …).
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen.}

RIAY Day 147 Fullness of Victory
Take stock of where you are in your faith life. Do you have one? Do you want one? Do you pray daily? Do you want to? Is Jesus important to you? Do you really want him to be? How can you have a relationship if you don’t work on one? If the only time you spend getting to know him and letting him know you is fleeting at best, you will not have the relationship you want/need/yearn for. Take stock of where you are heading. Your eternal life depends on it.
