First Steps – January 22, 2018

“It is only right with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise you, Father, and your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Dear Father, by your wondrous loving-kindness toward us, your servants, you gave up your Son. Dear Jesus, you paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by your blood poured forth in loving-kindness. You cleared away the darkness of sin by your magnificent and radiant resurrection. You broke the bonds of death and rose form the grave as a conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before you redeemed us. Your resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought us joy. How inestimable is the tenderness of your love!

“We pray you, Lord, to preserve our servants in the peaceful enjoyment of this Easter happiness. We ask this thorough Jesus Christ Our Lord, who lives and reigns with God, The Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen”

Overcome with gratitude for sins forgiven, St. Gregory pinned this prayer. How wonderful it is.

First Steps – January 15, 2018

One of my desires is to have wisdom—to know what to do and when to do it. Granted, some decisions we make are relativity insignificant because the answer is right in front of us. However, it is here – in those moments that major decisions, answers to multifaceted questions that will have lasting consequences – that I need wisdom the most.

St. Teresa of Avila was a Spanish nun who struggled with major decisions. Born into a dysfunctional family, early in her life she was very rebellious. Eventually, she sought a life of discipline that lead her to a convent. After a stroke which left her paralyzed for over 3 years, she came to the conclusion that prayer wasn’t just the words said but an act of love. In loving others, she loved God. In loving others, she served God. She constantly prayed for wisdom so that God would guide her decisions.

Pray for wisdom in all things.

One of her prayers was:
“Govern everything by your wisdom, O Lord, so that my soul may always be serving you in the way you will and not as I choose. Let me die to myself so that I may serve you; let me live to you who is life itself. Amen”

This week’s reading:

Monday – Romans 9-12
Tuesday – Romans 13-16
Wednesday – Ephesians 1-4
Thursday – Ephesians 5, 6; Psalm 119:1-80
Friday – Philippians 1-4
Please Pray for:
