my2cents:From the book of Tobit:The 8th groom (a forever pact):"When the girl’s parents left the bedroomand closed the door behind them,Tobiah arose from bed and said to his wife,“My love, get up.Let us pray and beg our Lord to have mercy on us and to grant us deliverance.”She got up, and they started to pray..."There is a difference when a couple gets married in the Church...you set your foundation on Love, and God is Love and God is truly eternal. It is a swearing, an oath to be bound with...it is a Holy Sacrament that cannot be undone, if you truly understand what it undertakes and means.

Looking Over The Temple

In the Holy Scripture, we heard about our Lord doing something unforgettable:
"They came to Jerusalem, and on entering the temple area he began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area. Then he taught them saying, “Is it not written:
My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples?
But you have made it a den of thieves.”

I want to see

From Sirach: "All of them differ, one from another, yet none of them has he made in vain, For each in turn, as it comes, is good; can one ever see enough of their splendor?" I often wonder as I look to people, how God thinks of them, how much love He has for them, and how come I cannot seem to love like Him? Perhaps, if they were my own children too, I would love like that...can you Love God's children? I bet you can, especially if we ask for God's grace. And that is my aim, daily, to try to get you to open your eyes, your mind, and especially your heart....to the children of God. "See how He loved them".

Whoever Wishes To Be Great

Reward those who have hoped in you, and let your prophets be proved true. Hear the prayer of your servants, for you are ever gracious to your people; and lead us in the way of justice. Thus it will be known to the very ends of the earth that you are the eternal God." We will soon learn what servants are, and if you dare to undertake the task, it becomes faith in action, and faith alive!

No one Wh Has Given Up

 We hear the Holy Word of God on how to praise and worship and sacrifice: "To keep the law is a great oblation, and he who observes the commandments sacrifices a peace offering. In works of charity one offers fine flour, and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise. To refrain from evil pleases the LORD, and to avoid injustice is an atonement. Appear not before the LORD empty-handed...". How to offer to God? Keep the law of God. How to sacrifice to God? Be charitable, especially to God. How to please God? Refrain from evil. How to atone to God? What's atonement? It is an attempt to correct a wrong we've done. How can we atone? Jews had special feasts and prayers and acts for atonements, and what does the Holy Word say? Avoid an injustice! It is an immediate atonement for the past and the present. Stop being unjust, especially to our Lord in heaven! Let us be just as He is just, therefore, perfect, as He is perfect, is it too much to ask in the name of our Lord? Lord help us!
