 (New Testament) John 15 The Vine and the Branches 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit...

There are incredible prayer threads put up for our nation daily, but thought tonight called for some extra vigilance in light of the momentous vote on Brett Kavanaugh in the morning. May special spiritual attention be given to the *last minute* workings of God, especially on the hearts and minds of swing voters in the Senate. That the Holy Spirit moves individuals on the fence to cross over into the Light. And for holy surprises! That even the hardest of hearts and individuals to the leftest of the left can be spurred onto towards righteousness -- even if only for...

Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

God has created a process by which He supplies all you need. In this instance I'm going to concentrate on healing. It is the kingdom of God process which operates on the principle of sowing and reaping (Mark 4:26-28). In Genesis 1:11,12 & 2:5,6 we see God giving the seed, soil, and water their assignment and ability. Every seed has the ability to become something. The soil increases the seed into it's full potential. And the rain/water makes the soil increase the seed to it's full potential (Isaiah 55:10). And all of these things working together will produce something. If...

September 27, 2018 Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest Reading 1 Eccl 1:2-11 Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!What profit has man from all the laborwhich he toils at under the sun?One generation passes and another comes,but the world forever stays.The sun rises and the sun goes down;then it presses on to the place where it rises.Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north,the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.All rivers go to the sea,yet never does the sea become full.To the place where they go,the rivers keep on going.All...

WARSAW, Poland - A 22-year-old Romanian peasant has taken a step closer to sainthood as a “martyr to chastity,” six decades after she was murdered while resisting rape during the communist-era repression of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Saints’ Causes, said Veronica Antal’s fate was similar to that of persecuted Christians in ancient Rome, who had asked the same question: “Who will separate us from the love of God?” Antal, a lay Franciscan who died in 1958, was the first Romanian woman to be beatified and first Romanian layperson formally honored as a...

 (New Testament) John 14 Jesus the Way to the Father 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus...

September 26, 2018 Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time Reading 1 Prv 30:5-9 Every word of God is tested;he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.Add nothing to his words,lest he reprove you, and you will be exposed as a deceiver. Two things I ask of you,deny them not to me before I die:Put falsehood and lying far from me,give me neither poverty nor riches;provide me only with the food I need;Lest, being full, I deny you,saying, "Who is the LORD?"Or, being in want, I steal,and profane the name of my God. Responsorial Psalm...

"THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD” Our Most Holy Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Our Strong Tower, We Honor and Praise Your Holy Name, A war is waging in America that we cannot fight in the flesh. There is a mêlée for the mindset of America. Many in this country are handing over the keys to our sovereignty by giving satan a stronghold in the affairs of our nation. We pray, Father God, for leaders who are right with You and are performing their duties in sync with our Constitution rather than their own agendas. Help us to...

September 25, 2018 Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time Reading 1 Prv 21:1-6, 10-13 Like a stream is the king's heart in the hand of the LORD;wherever it pleases him, he directs it. All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes,but it is the LORD who proves hearts. To do what is right and justis more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart–the tillage of the wicked is sin. The plans of the diligent are sure of profit,but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty. Whoever makes...

1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. 2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me?

I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God. 5 Why,...
