So much filling me with angst these days as the LIFE marches are going on with hundreds of thousands standing up for the Truth that we should not be taking human life into our own hands! How did it ever come to this place of the culture of death being the accepted lie, and those looking down on the believers of LIFE being a gift to be protected and cherished at all times... from conception to natural death? How I am lifted up by the stories of those that have come to see that leaving a baby to die is horrible and wrong!
St Paul too was misled and set on a path of destruction of those that were followers of the Truth - Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our salvation comes from Him and His Bride, The Church! Set on that path he was struck down by The LIGHT, which was Christ setting him straight!
On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus,
a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him.
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,
“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
He said, “Who are you, sir?”
The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.”
Acts 9
Lord, carry this forth now with so many that are thinking they can take LIFE into their own hands! Shine your glorious LIGHT all around them that they may see through the lies and the darkness. May we be a light for them as St Paul went forth...
He stayed some days with the disciples in Damascus,
and he began at once to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues,
that he is the Son of God.
All who heard him were astounded and said,
“Is not this the man who in Jerusalem
ravaged those who call upon this name,
and came here expressly to take them back in chains
to the chief priests?”
But Saul grew all the stronger
and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus,
proving that this is the Christ.
Acts 9
The times we remember them when we enjoy their things in our homes! Special touches of their love that continue to touch us in our domestic Church/home!
Time for the beads and prayers for each of my kids = 5 and their families, my Most Cherished Cross hubby Pat, our 5 Godchildren and their families, my family, Pat's family, and The Church = a total of 10 decades! Traveling in my chapel on wheels to my parents 3 hours away is prime time to get them all done and even the Chaplet of Divine Mercy! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
"A blasphemer and a persecutor was made an apostle, and chosen to be one of the principal instruments of God in the conversion of the world." No one is beyond the mercy of God. Let us pray for conversion and reversion of the whole world! #EWTN #Catholic https://
I am so excited for John to come and speak at our church here in Glenwood in just a couple of weeks! I met him and his family when I was just a weeee little lad through Riverbend TEC, and they are amazing people! John survived a rare form of brain cancer and now is married and is staring his family. 💞 I have not heard his talk, but I know he has an amazing story to tell! I hope you block off this time on February 5th and join us! We will have some refreshments and fellowship following in the lower level of church. See you there!
