Daily Thoughts: “A sacrifice to
be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to
God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you
believe much more in his love than in your weakness.”
(Mother Teresa)
Perhaps, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta give
us another way of understanding our Gospel (John 12:24-26) today. The cost, the
struggle, the giving of ourselves might seem like weakness but when lived in
friendship with God it becomes the power of wonderful things. Let us believe in
God’s love so that our weakness will become our strength!
Have a great Saturday everyone.
Daily Prayer: May God the Holy
Spirit move within us and give us eyes to see with, ears to hear with, and
hands that God’s work might be done. Amen! (Prayer by St. Dominic)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Running is
just such a monastery-- a retreat, a place to commune with God and yourself, a
place for psychological and spiritual renewal.”
(George Sheehan)
Daily Blessing: Saturday greetings
and blessings to all and happy feast of St. Dominic to all my Dominican friends!
I hope your weekend has started off well. We have been blessed with another
beautiful day here in Sag Harbor. I hope the same is true wherever you are.
I once again ask you to keep the
retreatants in your prayers as they enter their fifth day of retreat and if you
could include a little prayer for the directors of the retreat it would be
greatly appreciated.
I hope your Saturday and Sunday will be
blessed with what you need it to be for you and those you love. Hopefully you
will be blessed with the presence of God within the midst of your rest and
relaxation or your busyness. May you Saturday truly be gifted with God’s grace,
peace and joy. If you need a little smile today – “Think left and think right
and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
(Dr. Seuss) Peace in Christ’s
Passion…Fr. Paul
