The Gospel (Matt. 17:22-27) today for
the most part is a confusing one, yet I think Bonhoeffer’s
reflection on a life of faith touches the spirit of today’s Gospel. We are not
exempt from life, it is part of who we are. Life asks us to participate and it
by faith in God that we find the way to participate, to live in this world.
Have a great Monday everyone!
Daily Prayer: Grant us, O God,
a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing
to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally
embracing you. Amen.” (Adapted from a
prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas)
Runner’s Thought: “As every
runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the
other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.” (Joan Benoit Samuelson) And everybody
knows, praying is about more than just saying words; it is about our
relationship with God, it is about our friendship with God. So let put our
friendship with God into who we are today. Let’s pray as we run!
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had an
enjoyable weekend and that you got a little rest and relaxation.
As for me things are quiet here in
Pelham. As of Saturday morning I am the only one home at least until Tuesday. Most
are on vacation, one is away involved in ministry. The humidity is still with
us though they are saying things will change tomorrow and I hope they are right.
I prayed at mass today for all of you,
that you would have many blessing today and throughout this week. May you find
today rich in God’s grace and may your moments of struggle and difficulty be
short lived. Have a great day everyone! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
