Thank you to those of you who have showered my special request with prayers. I can sense that your prayers have been having a positive effect on the situation that I had been facing. I covet your prayers when you think of it and I’ll try to be attentive to your needs as well. Often in the past several days I’ve thought of the Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” I have a tendency to fret and borrow trouble. Meditating on that small piece of scripture is very powerful.
The blogosphere gets a lot of negative coverage and while that may be true of the politically oriented blogs I am encouraged by the work of bloggers who write about spirituality. Thank you to all who continue to be an inspiration to my life. This weekend I’ll be traveling once again to the Mohawk Valley of New York State for a Secular Franciscan gathering at the Kateri Shrine in Fonda, New York. We will be traveling five hours by car to attend Mass on Sunday morning and then spend some time at the Kateri Shrine and later Auriesville before returning to Western New York. Please pray for our safe journey. Pace e bene!
