Reminder for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 10, 2025

Wisdom 18: The night of the passover was known beforehand to our fathers,  that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith,  they might have courage.

Hebrews 11:  Brothers and sisters: Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Because of it the ancients were well attested.


                              Crepe Myrtle 3

                                                                   

To love someone is to double all our joys and divide all our disappointments. To be loved is to increase our courage and decrease our fears.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Sirach 35:  The LORD is a God of justice,  who knows no favorites.
    2 Timothy 4:  The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.

    I have a friend who follows the sun around her back yard in a deck chair with a glass of fresh fruit juice in one hand and a book in the other. Here’s the question: Is she “wasting” time or “celebrating” time? Think carefully before you answer. It can get to be a very important question as life goes by.
