"Have no anxiety at all..." Philippians 4

On a ladder could be an axious time for me...today's second reading is worth me mendicating... chewing!
"Brothers and sisters:  Have no anxiety at all, but in everything , by prayer and petition , with thanksgiving make your requests known to God.  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.  Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me.  Then the God of peace will be with you." 
Thank you St Paul for giving us some concrete things to do to bring us to a place of goodness and light with our Lord, Jesus Christ!  Heaven on earth!  Jesus, we trust in you! Amen and Halleluia!

Bless-bless, Barb
"Ah!  if all weak and imperfect souls felt what the littlest of all souls feels, the soul of your little Therese, not one would despair of reaching the summit of the mountain of love, since Jesus does not ask for great actions but only abandonment and gratitude."  St Therese of the Child Jesus (1897)
