Reminder for Sunday, July 22, 2018, 16th, Ordinary Time

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.

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
