Feast of Saint John Bosco

Saint John Bosco was a believer and strong advocate of Guardian Angels. He always told the young homeless boys he cared for to ignore the devil and to not be afraid of him. The devil trembles and flees at the sight of your guardian angel.
This advice is just as good for us. When we are tempted, let us remember to call upon your guardian angel for help.

Today's Readings for October 27th 2022

Image
 Todays reading  Luke 13:31-35 Speaks about persevering in the mission, having a heart open to others and praying for those who persecute you. Jesus knows what he has to do and even though he found opposition on his journey to Jerusalem he persevered on his journey. Jesus wept for Jerusalem. His heart was not closed to them. He was not absorbed in himself or his own problems. Jesus sets an example for us to follow. Our hearts should not be closed either. We need to be open to the needs of those around us and even to those who attack the church.  The first reading  Eph 6:10-20 This reading is about putting on the armor of God so that we will be able to stand against the tactics of the Devil.

Therefore put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day  Eph 6:11-13 How do we...

Be Present In What Is Happening Right Now

Image
Let us be present to the now. It’s all we have and it’s where God will always speak to us. The now holds everything, rejects nothing and, therefore, can receive God too.

Help us find some space within that we don’t try to fill with ideas or opinions. Help us find space so you, loving God, can show yourself in that place where we are hungry and empty. Keep us out of the way, so there is always room enough for you. Good God, we believe that you are here and your presence gives us hope. We thank you for each day of our lives. We thank you for so many further chances to understand, to forgive again, to trust again, and to love. We thank you that we live now, that our problems are soul-sized. We ask that you teach us and lead us, that you put the thoughts into our mind that you want us to think, the feelings in our hearts that you want u...

Hoarfrost and Winter BIrds

Image
 I love watching the birds at my feeder, especially the Cardinals! They are so colorful against the white snow. Picture worthy! We had hoarfrost all over the trees today. I had to look the definition up to make sure I was right about Hoarfrost! Here is the definition for you.  —  Hoarfrost , deposit of ice crystals on objects exposed to the free air, such as grass blades, tree branches, or leaves. It is formed by direct condensation of water vapour to ice at temperatures below freezing and occurs when air is brought to its  frost  point by cooling.   ~Pretty cool!! And that is the Science lesson for today~
