True?

Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing,
life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom.

Hey, All You Kids Waiting for Santa: serious rumor has it that Santa has scheduled us again this Christmas Eve, 4:00 P.M. Mass.  Better be nice to an old geezer.  Any other of you kids want to be a shepherd or angel in the Nativity Drama Christmas Eve?

   
 True?

Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly
as possible before handing it on to future generations.

True?  

 If you are depressed, you are probably living in the past;

If you are anxious, you are living in the future;

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Isaiah 66:  I know their works and their thoughts, and I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and see my glory.

Hebrews 12:  So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.  Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.

Luke 13:  For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

                           
                                                                   

Truth is time-bound, winning is fleeting, competition fails us, accumulations go to dust. Only love remains. Novalis says of it: “Love works magic/ It is the final purpose/ of the world story,/ The Amen of the universe.”

Another Reminder for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 24, 2025

Genesis 18:  "Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time.  What if there are at least ten there?"  He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy  it."

Colossians 2:  You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

Luke 11:  "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

                              

                                                                   

It is doubt, not certitude, that enables us to believe, because it requires us to think deeply about an entire subject.
