Thoughts:
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall
harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the
history of the world, [humankind] will have discovered fire.” (Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.)
This is one of my favorite quotes and I thought of it today in terms of the
Gospel (Matt. 13:1-9). Perhaps in a
different way Jesus is saying to us that when we can get past all the things
that seem to get in the way of our relationship with God we will discover love,
the good soil. The things of the world are enticing but it is God’s love that
makes all the difference!
Have a
great Wednesday everyone!

Prayer:
Take,
Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, understanding, and my entire will.
Antiphon
- Give me only Your love and Your grace, that's enough for me. Your love and
Your grace, are enough for me.
Take,
Lord, receive all I have and possess. You have given all to me, now I return
it. (Antiphon)
Take,
Lord, receive, all is Yours now. Dispose of it, wholly according to Your will.
(Antiphon) – (Song by John Foley, S.J.
based on prayer by Saint Ignatius of Loyola)
A
Runner’s Thoughts: Bart Yasso of
Runner’s World says, “Never limit where running can take you. I mean that
geographically, spiritually, and of course, physically.” And I say especially
spiritually!
Daily
Blessing:
Wednesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Wednesday has started off
well and that you will find the rest of the week downhill so to speak.
It was a
beautiful day yesterday, not very humid or hot and today we are to have more of
the same. I hope the weather by you is enlivening your day too!
Today
will be a busy day for me as we bring on a new employee in the Sunday Mass
office and as we finalize the electrical and lighting plans for the new local
for the Sunday Mass tapings. Lots to do before September!
I hope
your week is going well and that you are encountering interesting things in
your own life. We all cannot be celebrities or travel around the world but all
of our lives are important and special. All of our lives give us the chance to
encounter God and bring God to others, all of our lives are a gift!
May God's
blessings be upon your life today and as you live out this day may you come to
know that you are loved and that you bring the love and grace of God to others.
Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
