TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!


Saturday of the First Week of Lent 


The Readings
Deuteronomy 26:16-19; Psalm 119:1-2, 4-5, 7-8;  Matthew 5:43-48

Today’s readings correspond with each other very effectively; by reading them, we learn that Jesus wills us, above all, to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. We are to “follow the law of the Lord,” in the words of Psalm 119, and “observe the statutes, commandments, and decrees of God,” as Moses tells the people in Deuteronomy 26. Jesus knows that we can only do our best to follow His commandments.
