IT WAS GOD

There is a saying that say

“All things are possible with God”

But do you really believe it

Do you really know

That it is true

I didn’t always know

But now I do

I’ve seen changes in my life

That I know

I could never do

I know someone

Or something was there

Seeing that

I got pulled through

I don’t know how it happened

But now I do

It was God

There can be

No rational point of view

It was God

There can be

No other way to explain it

It was God

There can be

No other answer than

It was God

It was God

“All things are possible with God”

It was God—IT WAS GOD

Ps        “Jesus looked at them and said, “with man

             this is impossible-but with God

             ALL things are possible”                                       Matthew 19:26

                

             “If you can,” said Jesus,

              EVERYTHING is possible for him who believes”      Mark:9:23

GOOD TO GO

A long time ago

I made a promise

That was

To live for God

And all others

I did my best to keep it

Only God knows for sure

Whether or not I did

But if God is ready for me

I am ready for him

I am

Good to go

Good to go

To his love

Good to go

To his mercy

Good to go

To the God

Who knows all things

Yes I am ready

I am good to go

I dream of walking

Hand and  hand

With Jesus

I dream of his

And God’s love

Don’t know if God is ready

But when he is

I am

Good to go

THE GRACE TO KEEP ON TRYING

Grace for living

Grace for dying

We all need

A little bit of grace

Just to

Keep on trying

Keep on trying

To live a life

That is righteous

In God’s eyes

To keep on trying

When the world knocks us down

And even when it

Wants to make us keep on crying

Grace for living

Grace for dying

We all need

A little bit of grace

Just to

Keep on trying

Grace to ask God

To on carrying God’s message

From the Lord God above

Grace for living

Grace for dying

Grace for the courage

Just to

Keep on trying

Robert P. Wallman

Ps       Grace is the undeserved love and salvation God gives to us

           “Where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that

             Just as sin reigned in death

             So also grace might reign though righteousness

             To bring eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord”                  Romans 5:20 & 21 

THE GOSPEL OF SAINT MARK

Mark---or sometimes referred to as John Mark

Was an evangelist

And author of the second book

Of the Bible

His mother’s house

Was a meeting place

For the Apostles

Mark’s Gospel

Is a book of action

And follows more of Jesus’ deeds

Than his words

It is believed

That Peter is the source

For most of the material in this Gospel

Mark also spent much time

With Paul and Barnabas, his cousin,

And after a disagreement with Paul

Later goes on to be

A very close friend of Paul’s---and helper

Mark wrote his Gospel from Rome

Probably while in prison with Peter

Mark’s Gospel

Focuses on Jesus’ teachings, healing,

And ministering to the needs of others

Mark tells us

That Jesus is the perfect example of love

For ALL of us---for ALL of time

And Mark teaches us

That Jesus’ public ministry

Includes DIVIVE POWER over disease

Nature, demons, and even death

And demonstrates Jesus’ compassion

For a hurting world

Finally Mark wants us to know

That Jesus is concerned

About every aspect of our lives

And as Jesus’ actions

Parallels his words

Our actions

Must parallel Jesus’ words---and our own words

In order for us to be positive witnesses for him

In today’s world

Mark wants us to know

That there is no one

So down and out

That they are beyond the extension

Of God’s for us

And as Jesus died for our sins

And SAVED us

We are to be of service to others

It is believed

That Mark died a martyr’s death---

Possibly in Alexandria---during the reign of Nero

Mark’s symbol as an evangelist

Is the lion

And his feast day is April 25^th

IT’S NONE OF OUR CONCERN

Children and women

Are being molested

Children and women

Are being abused

But what do we care

It’s none of our concern

People are living

On the streets

People are having trouble

Feeding their kids

And making ends meet

But what do we care

It’s none of our concern

People are getting inadequate health-care

In some cases

No health-care at all

But what do we care

It’s none of our concern

Gay and lesbian people

Are being excluded

In every walk of life

What do we care

Isn’t it “in” to hate them

Isn’t it to hate them

It’s none of our concern

Jesus said,

“What you do to the least of my brothers……..”

What do we care

IT’S NONE of OUR CONCERN

I FOUND MYSELF IN YOU

When I didn’t know what to do

When I didn’t have a clue

Yes I found myself in you

I found myself in love

I found myself in forgiveness

I found myself

Everywhere that there was kindness

I found myself

In the heart of a child

I found myself in the smile of a friend

I found myself in the stranger walking by

For God’s sake

We don’t even know

Where they might have been

When I didn’t know what to do

When I didn’t have a clue

Yes

I found myself in you

I found myself

In the so-called “losers” of this world

I found myself in you

You have to remember

There for the grace of God go I

I found myself in you

So when I didn’t know what to do

When I didn’t have a clue

Yes

I found myself in you

I found myself

In every other human being

In this world

I found myself in you

I found myself in you

Ps        If you are LOST on this highway of life-a great reading is Luke 15

            Where Jesus tells the Pharisees 3 parables when they ask him

            Why he welcomes sinners and eats with them

            He tells the story of ONE LOST SHEEP

            He tells the story of ONE LOST COIN

            And he tells the story of ONE LOST SON

            And his LOVING FATHER

And in Matthew 9:12—Jesus tells the Pharisees when questioned

About eating with sinners:

“It is not the healthy who need a Doctor

But the sick”

But go and learn what this means

“I desire mercy not sacrifice”

For I have not come

To call the righteous-but sinners”

No matter where you are on this journey we call life

No one is so far gone as to be lost to God

Don’t give up on yourself because

GOD WILL NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOU

THE LATCH IS ON THE INSIDE

In the 22^nd chapter

Of Saint Matthew’s Gospel

Jesus again---tells us a story

He tells us

That the Kingdom of God

Is like a wedding banquet

How many of you

Like going to the weddings

Of your relatives or friends

Getting all dressed up in your Sunday best

Having a fancy dinner

Listening to music

Just having an evening of fun and relaxation

I know I do

So Jesus sends his servants out

To invite everyone to the wedding

But they all decided to do other things

They even kill the servants

And the king becomes enraged

The Kingdom of God

Is like that

There is an open invitation to us all

So the King sends out his servants again

And they bring in everyone they could find

Both good and bad off the streets

“But when you give a banquet

Invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind

And you will be blessed

Although they cannot repay you

You will be repaid

At the Resurrection

Of the righteous”                                                        Luke 14 13 & 14

So always remember

We are invited in to God’s Kingdom

We are ALL chosen by God

Whether or not we accept this invitation

Or not

Is up to us

THE LATCH IS ON THE INSIDE

ALL THAT REMAINS  ( is love )

In the end

What does it really matter

What does it really matter

Money doesn’t last

Fame flashes through fast

Sexual pleasure lasts

Only a moment or two

So in the end

What does it really matter

Because in the end

All that really lasts

Is love

But tell me Lord

Why does it only happen

To just a few

In the end

All that matters

IS LOVE

                Except the continuing debt

                To love one another

                For he who loves his fellowman

                Has fulfilled the law”                               Romans 13:8

"JUST A STEP AWAY"

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

We’ve been patiently awaiting another chance

But we never really thought that it would come

It’s surprising what patience can do

And what it adds up to in the final sum

We’ve been knocked down again and again

Never thought that we could get back up

Thought it was the end

But somehow we stuck it out

And we are on the mend

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

We’ve been dreaming of the challenge

And dreaming of the fight

Just waiting for another chance

And keeping our goals and dreams in sight

We want to come all the way back

In every walk of life

And keep going on and on

Like we were never gone

And……..-

We’re just a step away

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

We’re just one more step away

Robert P. Wallman

Ps         “Since we live by the SPIRIT

             Let us keep in step with the SPIRIT

             Let us NOT become conceited

             Provoking and envying each other”                                     Galatians 5:25-26

TAME THAT TONGUE---gossip

How many of us gossip

How many of us

Have listened to gossip

I would say, virtually, at some point or another,

Every one of us

Yet in both Romans !;29

And in 2 Corinthians 12:20

Saint Paul lists gossip among various sins

And says it is WRONG

And in James 3, James writes,

“Likewise

The tongue is a small part of the body

But it makes great boasts

Consider what a great forest

Is set on fire by a small spark

The tongue also is a fire

A world of evil among parts of the body

It corrupts the whole person

Sets the whole course of his life

On fire

And is itself set on fire by hell”

Once upon a time

A woman went to a confessional and said,

“Father, I am a very good person

I just have one small fault

I talk about my friends and neighbors”

Father said,

“For your penance

I want you to go down to the market

And buy a chicken

And come back next week”

The woman thought to herself,

How sensible---instead of 2 Our Fathers-3 Hail Mary’s

He’s going to use the chicken to feed the hungry

The next week

The woman takes the chicken  back to the priest

And the priest says:

“I want you to go down to the market place

And pluck the chicken

And spread the feathers everywhere

Then come back next week”

The woman thought to herself,

“Now that’s real penance---but I am sure

Father knows what he is doing”

The woman goes back the next week

And Father says,

“Now I want you

 To go and get all the feathers

And put them back on the chicken”

The woman became appalled and said,

“But Father, how can I do that

I don’t know where they are

They have blown here, there, and everywhere”

Father just said, “Exactly”

The woman got the point

And never gossiped again

My friends

We all have a choice

In how to use our tongue

TO BUILD OTHERS UP

Or to tear them down

But if you decide

To continue to gossip

Ask yourself questions

IS IT TRUE?
IS IT KIND?
IS IT NECESSARY?

“Without wood a fires goes out

Without gossip

A quarrel dies down”                                                      Proverbs 26:26

My mother used to say,

“If you can’t say anything good

Don’t say anything at all”

My friends

I think that that is a great philosophy

To follow

BUILD EACH OTHER UP

Flow through you

To your enemies

Living water

Let it flow

Isn’t that what God’s word

Is supposed to do

THE BREAD OF LIFE        ( is Eternal Life )

“I am the Bread of Life

He who comes to me

Will never go hungry

And he who believes in me

Will never go thirsty”                                           John 6:35

If you saw a fountain

And someone told you

That if you drank

From that fountain

You would have

The gift of eternal life

I wonder

How many of us

Would rush to that fountain to drink

I know that I would

Jesus tells us,

“For my Father’s will

Is that everyone

Who looks to the Son

And believes in him

Shall have eternal life

And I will raise him up

On the last day”

How many of us

Want ETERNAL life

I would dare say

Almost all of us

How many of us

Really believe that Jesus is THE CHRIST

The ONE AND ONLY SON OF GOD

I would dare say

NOT many of us

For if we really and truly believed in him

A GOD OF LIFE,
A GOD OF LOVE,
AND A GOD OF TRUTH

Would we have a world

Filled with war, murder, rape, child-abuse,

And only the Lord knows what else

Eternal life is simply

A life everlasting with God

It is the choice of God and love

Over hatred and sin

Jesus took the bread

Gave it to his disciples and said,

“This is my body”

He then took the cup

Gave it to his disciples and said,

“This is my blood

The blood of the new and everlasting covenant

Which is poured out for many”

Eternal life means simply

A life everlasting with God

Take on

The Body of Christ

Take on

The Blood of Christ

Choose God and love

Over the sins of this world

What would we do

Where would we go

Without God and Jesus in our lives

Simon Peter knew the answer,

“Lord to whom shall we go

You have the words of eternal life

We believe and know

That you are the Holy One of God”                                          John 6:68

Jesus said,

“I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE”

I believe him---do you?

I have

You have

To stand for something

Or you

Stand for nothing at all

Stand up for God

Stand up for love

Stand up for your brother and sister

Stand up for what is right

In this world

Stand up for peace

Stand up for kindness

Standup for the weak

And forlorn

Stand for something

Or you stand

For nothing for all

Stand up for the old

Stand up for the homeless

Stand up

For children and families

Stand up for something

Stand up for love

A GOOD DEED---IS IT ENOUGH

A good deed

Is a good deed

Nothing wrong with that

But if your yoke

Is tied to Jesus

If your yoke

Is tied to God

It has

An everlasting effect

And that my friend

Is a fact

Just as Jesus’ yoke

Was tied

To God and Moses

Let our yokes

Be tied to God and Christ

“Take my yoke upon you

And learn from me

For I am meek

And humble of heart

And ye shall find rest

For your souls”                                                 Matthew 11:29

A good deed

Is a good deed

Nothing wrong with that

But if that deed

Is tied to God

If that deed

Is tied to Christ

If that deed

Is tied to Moses

That deed

Will have

An everlasting effect

And that my friend

Is a fact

“For we are God’s workmanship

Created in Christ Jesus

To do good works

Which God prepares in advance

For us to do”                                                  Ephesians 2:10

ALL good works

Are pleasing to God

HOW IS IT?

How is it that we live in the richest country in the world

And we have 50 million people WITHOUT health care?

How is it?

How is it that we live in the richest country in the world

And have millions and millions of people living below the poverty line and

without food?

How is it?

How is it that we are supposed to life in a moral country and we are spending billions

And billions of dollars on the stripping, and pornographic industries?

How is it?

How is it that there are 3 billion cases of reported sexual child abuse in our country

A year?

How is it?

HOW IS IT?

WHAT KIND OF WATER

Picture this:

You are a young or middle-aged woman

At the water cooler

Of your office

Getting a drink of water

A young man comes up

And approaches you

In addition

This young man

Is not the same color, race, or religion

As you

The man

Proceeds to tell you

About a different kind of water

“If you drink the water

I give you

You will

Never be thirsty again

And you will have

Eternal life”

You look at this man

Like he was crazy

And think to yourself,

“What did he just say?”

You ask

For some of this water

And the man replies,

“Go call your husband”

You reply

“I have no husband

This man says, “I know”

And proceeds to tell you

About every significant relationship

That you ever had

In your life

At this point

You take a step back

You recognize,

“This is no ordinary man”

You think to yourself

This man is a prophet

And say,

“I know the Messiah is coming”

The man says,

“I who speak to you

Am he”

This man Jesus

Tells the woman

NOT to tell anyone

What he said and did

Of course she does

What would you do

Better yet Lord

Please tell us

WHERE WE CAN FIND

THIS LIVING WATER

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace

In my heart

Amazing grace

In my soul

I need a little

Maybe a lot

Of God’s amazing grace

To make me feel whole

They say

It’s in the valleys

That we find out

How small we are

Sometimes I feel so low

In the valley

That I actually feel miniscule

Amazing grace

In my heart

Amazing grace

In my soul

I need a little

Of God’s amazing grace

To get me

Through the valley

To help me

Feel whole

I need

A little of God’s amazing grace

Maybe a lot

To fill my soul

“Therefore since we have been

Justified through faith

We have peace with God

Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Through whom we have gained by access

By faith

Into this GRACE

Which we now stand”                                          Romans 5:1 & 2

Grace is defined

As the undeserved love and salvation

God gives to us

The story of the prodigal son—Luke 15:11-31

Is a great example of how God will treat us

When we decide to return home to him

SIMPLICITY---Saint Bernadette ( 1844-1879 )

Saint Bernadette was a visionary

And later a nun

She was the daughter of Francois Soubirous-a miller

And the oldest of six children

They lived in extreme poverty

At the age of 14, in 1958,

She experienced 18 visions

Of the Blessed Mother

At the rock of Massabielle, Lourdes

The Virgin-herself-told Bernadette

“I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION”

The Blessed Mother

Also told Bernadette to build a church

And to drink from a spring

At first---NO ONE believed her

Not even the church

But from that time

Until the present day

That spring

Produces 27,000 gallons of water a week

The POWER OF FAITH

The POWER OF SIMPLICITY

T he POWER OF---A BELIEVING HEART

As a child

Bernadette was an undersized youth

Who suffered from asthma

Her intellectual capacity was adequate---

YET SIMPLE

And some believed her to be stupid

Yet her veracity and courage

Were beyond dispute

She stuck to her story

Despite investigation

By both the clergy and state officials

She remained UNSHAKEN

SIMPLICITY-FAITH-BELIEF

The power of a believing heart

Because she was a subject

Of publicity and curiosity

She became a nun

And remained one for the rest of her life

She became cut off from Lourdes

And was NOT present

At the dedication of the Basilica

The only “extraordinary” moments

Of her life

Were those six months

In which she had18 visions

Of the Blessed Mother

We MUST NEVER FORGET

That God works through the ORDINARY

God works through THOSE WITH FAITH

God is NOT found in those

With great great minds

But those

WITH GREAT GREAT HEARTS

Bernadette was canonized in 1933

Not for her visions

But for---HER TOTAL COMMITMENT

And her SIMPLICITY, integrity, and trust

IN GOD and the BLESSED MOTHER

“To those who believe in God

No explanation is necessary

To those who don’t

No explanation is possible”

“I am the Immaculate Conception”

DO YOU BELIEVE?

I’LL CARRY THE PROMISE

I’ll carry the promise of hope

I’ll carry the promise of love

I’ll carry the promise

Of up above

I’ll carry the promise of life

I’ll carry the promise of love

I’ll carry the promise

Of up above

I wear the medal

Of seven operations

I wear the medal

Of a lifetime of chronic illness

I wear the stigma of a bankruptcy

I wear the cross of many failed relationships

I wear the cross of love

I wear the cross of botched medical care

I wear the cross

Of when nothing and no one

Seemed to want to share

I wear the cross of love

I wear the cross

Of a lifetime of problems

I could do nothing about

I wear the cross of love

But most of all

I haven’t given up

So I carry the cross of hope

So I carry the cross of love

So I carry the cross

Of up above

I carry the cross

Of falling down

Over and over and over again

I carry the cross

Of not knowing when to say “WHEN”

So I decided

To carry the promise of love

I decided to carry the cross of hope

And to carry

The promise of God up above

The promise of God who says:

“My son I will never forsake you”

So I carry

THE CROSS OF LOVE

Ps        “If anyone would come after me

             He must deny himself and take up his cross

             And come follow me

             For whoever wants to save his life

             Will lose it

             But whoever loses his life for me

             And the gospel will save it”                                        Mark 8:34-35

DIVINE MERCY

I wonder

What Jesus would say today

If Jesus could see our 5o’clock news

Where person after person

Is criticizing each other

Where person after person

And/or all of society

Is trying to take another person down

The truth is

I know what he would say

And you do too

Because in fact—he said it:

“Do not judge

Or you will be judged

And in the same way

You judge others

You will be judged

And the measure you use

It will be measured to you”                                          Matthew 7:1&2

And in Luke 6:36—Jesus says:

“Be merciful—just as your father is merciful”

A young religious

By the name of Sister Faustina ( Helen Kowalska )

Died at Our Lady of Mercy in Cracow, Poland

She had had only 3 years

Of very simple education

And her tasks in the convent

Were very very menial

Usually in the kitchen or the garden

In repeated revelations to Sister Faustina

Jesus’ message to her was

“To trust in him” 

To trust

In the Divine nature

Of his heart

On February 22nd, 1931

Our Lord and Savior appeared to Sister Faustina

Bringing with him

A wonderful message of mercy

For ALL of mankind

Jesus I trust in you

Mercy not judgment

Mercy for us all

If we believe

He told Sister Faustina:

“Mankind will not enjoy peace

Until it turns in confidence

To My Mercy”

Mercy for us all

If we lay our lives

And our failings

If we lay them down

At the foot of the cross

And his Divine Heart

Return to God

Today is Divine Mercy Sunday

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU

MY BEST FRIEND

Jesus is my best friend

He is the one

I talk to

All through the day

He is the one

I talk to

When all others

Turn away

Jesus is my best friend

He is the one

I love

The very most

Jesus is my best friend

Jesus is my best friend

He is the one

I turn to

When I am feeling

Lost and confused

Jesus is my best friend

He is the one

Who I always turn to

For advice

Who else

Always got it right

Jesus is my best friend

I have other friends too

But I know

He will

Always be there

When all others

Turn away

Jesus is my best friend

His love

Is always true

I’M LIVING A MIRACLE

I’m living a miracle

I’m breathing a miracle

I’m walking a miracle

I am a living, breathing, walking miracle

I’m living

A miracle

I’m breathing

A miracle

I’m walking

A miracle

Living a dream

Living a life

No one would have guessed

Living a life

That once was

Almost extinguished

Living a life

That is way beyond blessed

I’m living

A miracle

I’m breathing

A miracle

I’m walking

A miracle

I’m breathing every breath

Like it was my last

I’m not taking it for granted

A life goes by fast

I’m walking through life

As slow as I can

I’m savoring every step

When once

I tried to run through life

As fast as I can

I’m living

A miracle

I’m breathing

A miracle

I’m walking

A miracle

I’m living

A miracle

I’m breathing

A miracle

I’m walking

A miracle

I’m living a miracle

I’m breathing a miracle

I’m walking a miracle

I am a living, breathing, walking miracle

And so are you

Ps        “The God who made the world

             And everything in it

             Is the Lord of heaven and earth

             And does not live in temples built by hands

             And he is not served by human hands

             As if he needed anything

             Because he himself

             Gives ALL men life and breath and everything else”                       ACTS  17:24-25

Get inspired

Get inspired now

Do it for God

Do it for you

Do it for everyone

If nothing else

Do it for love

They say necessity

Is the mother of invention

But motivation

Is the mother of inspiration

Get inspired

Do it now

Even if it’s only for awhile

Do it for God

Do it for love

Do it because

It’s the right thing to do

Just do it

Get inspired

Do it now

THE WIND AND GOD

We don’t see the wind

But we can feel it

We know

That it is there

We don’t see God

But we can feel him

We know

He is there

The wind

Moves our sailboat

Through the water

We try to control

Where we are going

Most of the time successful

But sometimes not

Like the wind on the water

Let the spirit move in us

Like the wind on the water

Let us be open to God

To where he wants

To move us

Like the wind on the water

Let the spirit be alive

Like the boat on the water

Let us be open to the spirit

And where he wants

To move us

Like all of mankind

Should be

Spirit

Help us to be open

To God’s word in us
