Fast and Past

Well, an illness, which always interrupts life, but which is actually part of the Dark Night, reminding me of Who is in charge of my life, not me, is forcing me to reflect today rather than write very much. I am not so ill that I cannot think but too worn out to write much.



Therefore, join me in a day of reflection. I am fasting for the worldwide fast and prayer for peace and the end of severe persecutions in the Middle East and Africa especially. I can fast.

Take time to review posts from the past today, as I take a bit of a down day, although it is also laundry day and phone friends day. I shall work slowly. Also, pray for two financial needs I have right now which are not small. Thanks.

I hope to blog later when I get some energy back....here are some suggestions from old reading today. Tomorrow is the feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, so enjoy these posts.

Padre Pio Day-Four

Padre Pio said that trials are the paths for strong souls. He noted, "Here you will learn the better to recognize your true homeland and to look on this life as a brief pilgrimage."




"Unite your heart with the heart of Jesus and be simple-hearted as he desires."
