Memorial of St. Dominic

A man who governs his passions is master of his world. He must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.

St. Dominic

Living with Christ

"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

I love asking “how” questions, Lord.
I love understanding how things work
But I can’t answer the
“how” question the crowd asks--
and I notice that you don’t even try.
Instead, you move them
to the heart of the mystery--
a faith mystery that cannot be explained
but can only be experienced and lived.

Lord, every Sunday you
feed me with the Eucharist.
Help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

As I go about my day today,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

When I encounter people in need,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

When I face difficult situations,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

When things go well,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

When things go badly,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

When I am full of doubt,
pain, sorrow, or fear,
help me to experience
and live what you have given me.

Jesus, thank you for
inviting me to share your life.
Please keep leading me deeper
into the paschal mystery,
so that, dying to myself
in your love, I might rise
with you to a joy
that never ends.
Amen.

God judged it better

God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.

St. Augustine

TINA, MY BRIDE!

TINA, MY BRIDE!
Tina read the third stanza severally and slowly. She admired the card for a long time. When she put the card down she positioned it on the altar by her bed. She took another glance at the card again and closed her eyes. She wore a broad smile.
“Who is making you soar in this type of celestial joy?”
...
“How long have you been here?” Tina was obviously startled.
