Daily Thoughts: Sorry for not
posting Daily Thoughts yesterday but we were taping the Sunday Mass yesterday
all day, if fact we were celebrating Christmas and the Christmas season as we
taped yesterday. So it was a long day we left the house at 6:15 am and did not
return until 7:30 pm and by the time I got back to my computer last night I had
no brain power left to offer you some thoughts. But today is a new day so on to
some Daily Thoughts...
Early this morning as I spent some time
in prayer I was struck by Jesus’ closing words in the Gospel today, "But
when the Son of Man comes will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:1-8) I guess that is always the underlying question
when it come to our human condition. There are so many experiences that seem to
make faith difficult. That seem to direct our attention away from our
relationship with God. In the Gospel today Jesus reminds us to pay attention
and be persistent. In many ways it is these two qualities that will help keep
our faith alive so that when Jesus does return he will find faith! ... Key
thought for our journey of life today..."Being attentive to God especially
through persistence in prayer!"
Remember to give God a little time today
and have a great Saturday everyone!
Daily Prayer: Loving God, may
your overabundance of mercy, patience and grace lead us through the many
obstacles that we place in the way of your love today and always! (Adapted from
St. Gertrude the Great)
A Runner's Thoughts: When we run
with God we can expect surprises, missteps and great leaps toward our
understanding and in our relationship with God but we will never be alone!
Daily Blessing: I hope your Saturday
is off to a good start. May your day be blessed with the warmth of the sun lighting
up a beauty of God’s creation today and the warmth of many smiles greeting you
and guiding you through the gift of all the experiences that this day will
bring. May your day be rich in the blessings of God’s grace, mercy, hope, joy and
love wherever you go and in and through whomever you meet. And may you always
be blessed in finding God’s presence within yourself! Have a wonderful day with
many blessings! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
