Service to others ...

Each one of you have received a special grace,
so like good stewards responsible for
all these different graces of God,
put yourselves at the service of others.
1 Peter 4:10

Ask and You Shall Receive

... Prayer ...


We do not pray to change divine decree,
but only to obtain what God has decided
will be obtained through prayer.

In other words, as St. Gregory says,
"by asking, men deserve to receive what
the all-powerful God has decreed
from all eternity to give them."
St. Thomas Aquinas

God writes the gospel
not in the bible alone,
but on the trees
and flowers
and clouds
and stars.

Joy


Joy does not depend on sunny circumstances,
good news, or happy endings.
It comes from knowing that whatever happens,
God loves me; that whatever happens,
He is preparing a better place for those who love Him.


Memorial of St. Gregory the Great

Sunday, August 29, 2010


Lord God, you have given us
the great day of rejoicing:
Jesus Christ, the stone rejected by the builders,
has become the cornerstone
of the Church, our spiritual home.
Shed upon your Church the rays of your glory,
that it may be seen as the gate of salvation
open to all nations.
Let cries of joy and exultation ring out from its tents,
to celebrate the wonder of Christ's resurrection.

What you are called to do.


All of you should be like-minded, sympathetic, loving
toward one another, kindly disposed, and humble.
Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult.
Return a blessing instead.
This you have been called to do,
that you may receive a blessing as your inheritance.
1 Peter 3:-9

In God alone be at rest, my soul;
for my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock, my stronghold,
my fortress: I stand firm.

In God is my safety and glory,
the rock of my strength.
Take refuge in God, all you people.
Trust him at all times.
Pour out your hearts before him
for God is our refuge.
