Sunday Reminder 3-1-09, 1st Lent

Acts 5:   So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

Revelation 5:  "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever."

John 21:  So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something."  So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish.

Another Reminder for the 3rd  Sunday of Easter, May 4, 2025

Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
 Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

 

Nothing we manage to amass here can change the value of what we really are underneath it all. “Why, snatch at wealth, and hoard and stock it?” Betty Paoli writes. “Your shroud, you know, will have no pocket.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
