LIKE FLOWERS

People are like flowers

For that reason alone

We should shower them

With our love

Flowers differ

In their attractiveness

Some are striking

In their beauty

Like the rose

And the lily

But some are

Just ordinary

Like the violet

But all flowers

Give glory to God

By being what they are

So too with people

Some of us are beautiful

Some of us are brilliant

And some of us

Are just ordinary

Is that any reason

We should love anyone

Any less

Ps        Dedicated to Saint Theresa the Little flower

            Today-October 1^st-Is her feast day

“The grass withers and the FLOWERS fall

But the word of God stands forever”                                            Isaiah 40:8

TESTIFYING WITH OUR BROKENNESS

Did you ever

Stop and think

That the biggest weakness

That we have

Is the BEST WAY

To give testimony to God

Saint Paul said,

“Three times I pleaded

With the Lord

To take it away from me  ( his affliction  )

But he said to me

“My grace is sufficient for you

For my power

Is made perfect in weakness”

“Therefore I will boast

All the more gladly

About my weaknesses

So that Christ’s power

Will rest in me”                                                                   2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Where is your weakness

Where is your brokenness

Can you say to the Lord

“I will bring the gifts

Of my brokenness to you

Dear God

Can you-will you

Use my brokenness to help others”

Our wounds and flaws

Are our gifts to others

IMAGINE THAT

The night before he died

Jesus himself prayed

“My Father

If it is possible

May this cup

Be taken from me

Yet NOT as I will

But as you will”                                                                            Matthew 26:39

Witnessing through his brokenness

And now recognized

As a source of HOPE to millions and millions

Where does your brokenness lie

Where is your source of hope

How can you be

A SOURCE of hope to others

All you have to do is pray,

“Dear Lord-use me”

And I guarantee you that he will

I myself

Have been broken physically

Since I am 22

I myself

Am broken financially

And often find

Too much month

At the end of the money

And as a young man

ALL I ever wanted

Was to have my own wife and children

But sadly-that did not happen

But I have a RELATIONSHIP with God

Many friends-BOTH women and men

And I am thankful

For ALL of you

What if

Through our very limitations

And struggles

COUPLED with our efforts to follow Jesus

We can offer hope to others

So I invite you

Wherever your brokenness may lie

To say this prayer with me

LOVING GOD

May this brokenness that we feel

Help us

To give compassion to others

And inspire HOPE for them

IN THEIR LIVES

In Jesus’ name-amen

THE LOST SOUL  Inside All Of Us

Inside each of us

Is a part of us

We don’t

Want to let go

Inside each of us

There is a part of us

We don’t want

Anyone else to know

Inside each of us

There is some part

Of us

That we are ashamed of

That we don’t want

To share with anyone else

That’s ok

As long as

We share it with God

God knows that part of us

That we don’t even

Want to admit to ourselves

God knows

So you may as well

Talk to him about it

God loves you anyway

God loves the good in us

God loves the bad

God loves

The part of you

That you share with the world

And God loves

The part inside of us

That is lost

God loves

The lost soul

Ps        “My people have been LOST sheep

             Their shepherds led them astray

             And caused them to roam on the mountains

            

             They wandered over mountain and hill

             And forgot their own resting place”                                             Jeremiah 50:6

             “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep

              And loses one of them

              Does he not leave the ninety-nine

              In the open country open

              And go aster the LOST sheep

              Until he finds it”                                                                      Luke 15:4

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

How would you

Define an angel

The one word

That comes to my mind

Is “heavenly”

Beings that help us along

On life’s journey

Beings that assist us

In one way or another

Psalm 91:11 & 12 says,

“For he will command his angels

Concerning you

To guard you in ALL your ways

They will lift you up

In their hands

So that you will

NOT strike your foot

Against a stone”

HEAVENLY---to be sure

I have had

Many earthly angels in my life

My parents---my two sisters

Other family members and friends

To HELP me along the way

I know

I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this

If not for them

But there are angels

From heaven

That God has actually used

To deliver messages

We know

That the angel Gabriel

Appeared to Zachariah

At the birth of John the Baptist

And above all

We know that he appeared to Mary

To ask her

To be THE MOTHER OF GOD

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

Then we have Saint Michael

OUR defender and protector

TO HELP US

Against the wickedness and the snares of the devil

Michael appears to us

IN the book of Daniel

As the special GUARDIAN AND PROTECTOR of Israel

And in the book of Revelation

As the PRINCIPAL fighter for God

In the fight

Between good and evil

Michael’s POWER is so strong

That it is believed

That souls can be rescued

Even from hell itself

May we ALL be so lucky

Finally we have the angel Raphael

Named in the book of Tobit

Raphael’s name means,

“GOD HAS HEALED”

My wish for ALL of you:

IS that you be TOUCHED by many beings

Both heavenly and earthly

To help you

On life’s journey

And that you feel

God’s love and presence---SO STRONG---

Inside of you

That you Know

That you have been BLESSED by God

And that indeed---you have been

                          TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

JUST THINK

Just think

Of all the people

God could have created

GOD CREATED YOU

There is NO ONE

In this world

Exactly like you

There is no one

In this world

With your exact looks

Your exact personality

And your traits

You are unique

There is ONLY ONE you

You are someone special

In this world

God loves you-for WHO you are

             To be with me where I am

             And to see my glory

             The glory that you have given me

             Because you loved me

ROOTED IN GOD

Rooted in God

Rooted in love

Rooted in mercy

Ps        A ROOT is the part of the plant that anchors it and absorbs

            Nutrients and moisture; a plant CANNOT exist without its

            Root;  WE CANNOT EXIST fruitfully without God

“For the love of money is a ROOT of all kinds of evil

Some people-eager for money-have wandered from the faith

And pierced themselves with many griefs”                                        1 Timothy 6:10

      

Without Christ

As Jesus

Got closer and closer

To his destiny

And his teaching

Got harder and harder

Many of his disciples

Walked away

I wonder

If they lived

Happy and fulfilled lives

I wonder

If they found solace

In money

If that replaced our Lord

I wonder

If they found happiness

In being accepted by society

If that replaced

The teaching of our Lord

Dear God

Please help us

To always be

Like Saint Peter who said

“To whom shall we go Lord

You have the words

Of everlasting life”

If we left our Lord

Where would we go

For truth

If we left our Lord

Would we still live

By the golden rule

And what about death

How could we face death

Without God and Christ in our lives

Our Lord

Is our model

He is

Our standard for living

Of course

We will come up short

If we compare ourselves

To our Lord

But death

Will be our loveliest moment

Because

Our Lord did indeed

Possess the words of eternal life

Lord

We ask you for the courage

To never run away

From you

And be

Like Saint Francis and say

“Welcome Sister Death”

For with Christ

We are never lost

Ps        Inspired by the teaching of Father Leo Clifford

A CHARITABLE HEART---THE STORY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

I am sure

You have heard the saying:

“Charity begins at home”

I am here to tell you

That that is NOT true

It is not true today

Was not true yesterday

And will never ever be true

Saint Vincent DePaul

Was born in to a peasant family

Was educated by the Franciscans

And became a priest

At the age of 19

His following

Consisted of people

Who were rich and fashionable

Yet Vincent himself

Was utterly devoted to the poor and oppressed

A heart of compassion

A heart of charity

A heart of love

He founded

A congregation of priests

Who would live from a community fund

Renounce all church support

And work to help reestablish faith

In the smaller towns and villages

In that same year---1625

He established the Sisters of Charity

The first congregation of “unenclosed” women

Totally devoted to the poor and the sick

He was a LEGEND

Even in his own lifetime

He touched all people

Clergy and lay people alike

Rich and poor

Outcasts and convicts

A CHARITABLE HEART to be sure

Legend has it

That EVEN NOW---almost 600 years later---after his death

That his physical heart has NOT decayed---is still incorrupt

So we need no further testimony

Than God himself

About the charity---about the heart

Of a man named Vincent DePaul

Like the saying goes,

“It is what is inside that counts”

Dear Lord---we pray

That we may have ALL have

The HEART OF
The love of

The compassion of ---and

                  THE CHARITY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

TEARS AND SADNESS

TURNED TO JOY AND GLADNESS

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining patient in God

All through the storm

Nothing changed on

The outside of me

But something changed within

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining in God

All through the storm

Tears and sadness

Turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

Changed by God

Changed by faith

Changed forever more

LIVING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

I am

Living from the inside out

Letting God’s love

Turn me all around

Letting God’s love

Turn me every which way

But down

I am

Living on God’s love

I am

Living inside out

Inside out

Is the way

I want to live

Inside out

Is the way

I want to give

Inside out

I want to give

All that’s in me

Inside out

I just

Want to live

Inside out

I just

Want to give you

The love that God gave to me

I just want to live

Inside out

THE TREE OF LIFE

“I am the vine

You are the branches”

THE TREE OF LIFE

You can only grow spiritually

And in truth

If your yoke is truly tied

To the person of Jesus Christ

The one

From whom

ALL CREATION COMES

THE WORDS OF LIFE
THE TREE OF LIFE

In that famous XVIII chapter

Of Saint John

He basically tells us

That apart from him-Christ

SPIRITUALLY-we can do nothing

“I am the vine

You are the branches

If a man remains in me

And I in him

He will bear much fruit

Apart from me

You can do nothing”                                               John 15:5

THE WORDS OF LIFE
THE TREE OF LIFE

The gift of knowledge

The gift of life

The words of life

And the Lord

Made all kinds of trees

Grow out of the ground

Trees that were pleasing to the eye

And good for food

In the middle

Of the garden

Was the TREE OF LIFE

And the tree of knowledge

Of good and evil”                                                 Genesis 2:9

How great would that be

To always KNOW the difference

Between good and evil—AND DO GOOD

But that is what CHRIST came to do

To impart that knowledge

On to us

And to leave it-that knowledge-inside of us

Living inside of us/you and me

Live in Christ

On the WORDS of Jesus Christ

And you will

NEVER be found wanting

He will be living you

And you/me will be LIVING IN HIM

And you will have found

THE TREE OF LIFE

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

LIFE WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES

It may be health

It may be money

It may be

Trying to be someone

You are not supposed to be

One way or another

Life will bring you

To your knees

You might not think it

But in that time

Is your opportunity

To find God

And to find yourself

Because I have been there

And that was the only place

For me to find true happiness

There just wasn’t anyone

Or anything else

It may be health

It may be money

It may be trying to be someone

That you are not

Someone that you shouldn’t be

One way or another

Life will bring

To your knees

That just might be

Your opportunity

To find God

To find peace

Inside of yourself

While you are down

On your knees

Ps        “If you seek him he will be FOUND by you

             But if you forsake him-he will reject you forever”          1 Chronicles 28:9

                                                                                                 ( David to his son-Solomon )

            “But if from there you seek the Lord your God

             You will FIND him if you look for him

             With all you heart and with all your soul”                        Deuteronomy 4:29

            “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me

              For I am gentle and humble in heart

              And you will FIND rest for your souls

              For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”                   Matthew 11:29-30

              

CARRYING ANOTHER’S BURDENS

Have you ever

Tried to help another human being

I mean really help someone

NOT just giving lip service

Whether it be family, friend

Or a virtual stranger

We ALL need help

At one time or another

It may be

Because of health difficulties

It may be

Because of financial problems or obligations

A lost job---mitigating circumstances

Broken relationships within a family

Or with a very close friend

In any case

We need help---we can’t do it alone

Because we are fighting heavy battles

And we are losing

It may surprise you to know

That OUR LORD knows this

It wasn’t any different 2000 years ago

Jesus saw this

And with a compassionate loving heart

He said,

“Come to me

All you who are weary and heavy burdened

And I will give you rest

Take my yoke upon you

And learn from me

For I am gentle and humble of heart

And you will find rest

For your souls

For my yoke is easy

And my burden is light”                                           Matthew 11:28-30

A yoke is the instrument

That binds 2 animals together

Maybe you have

So many problems

That you feel

You have nothing left

To help someone else

Maybe you have

So many burdens

That you feel

Nothing and no one can help you

I have some news for you

Jesus can

He carried

The weight of the world

Some 2000 years ago

I thin he is quite capable

Of carrying yours and my burdens

We live

In a world

Full of selfishness

Becoming more and more so

Each day

“What the world needs now

Is love---sweet love

It is the only thing

That there is just too little of”                                              from a song many years ago

Tiredness of body---come to me

Weakness of soul and spirit---come to me

Jesus says,

“Come to me

Let me help you

Carry your burdens”

He can carry burdens

And solve problems

That we never can

Maybe

Burdens and problems that we

Were never intended to carry

Moses believed in God’s promises

Abraham believed

The Blessed Mother---Mary---believed

“I am the Lord’s servant

may it be done to me

According to your Word”                                           Luke 1:38

Do you believe

Do I believe

Your problems my be great

My problems may be great

They are NOT insurmountable

“And we know

That in all things

God works for the good

Of those who love him”                                              Romans 8:28

Maybe we can’t

Carry another’s burdens

Maybe we can’t even

Carry our own

But God says---Christ says,

“I can”

He says,

“Tie your yoke to me”

He says the most appealing words

Ever heard

This side of paradise---

---“COME TO ME”

And you will find REST for your souls

LINGERING SINS-GOSSIP

There once was a woman

With a physical handicap

She is still the same now

As she was twelve years ago

What about our sins

Are our sins

The same today

As they were 12 years ago

No one

Stays the same

Are we improving

Or are we regressing

Once

There was a woman

Who gossiped

When she went to confession

The Catholic priest

Told her to go to the market place

And buy a chicken

What an easy penance

She thought

Then the Catholic priest

Told her 

To pluck the chicken

And spread the feathers everywhere

Strange-she thought

But she did this too

Then the priest told her

To go and gather the feathers

And put them

Back on the chicken

“I can’t do that Father,” she said

“The feathers are everywhere”

“Exactly,” the priest said

“This is what happens

When you talk about someone”

What about my lingering sins

What about

Your lingering sins

Where are we

In relationship

To where we were

Twelve years ago

ARE WE IMPROVING

Ps       *Based on the teaching of Father Leo Clifford

“A GOSSIP betrays a confidence

But a trustworthy man keeps a secret”                                                   Proverbs 11:13

“For I am afraid that when I come

I may not find you as I want you

And you may not find me as you

Want me to be

I fear that there may be quarreling,

Jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions,

Slander, GOSSIP, arrogance, and disorder”                                          2 Corinthians 12:20

“A perverse man stirs up dissension

And a GOSSIP separates close friends”                                         Proverbs 16:28

ENDURANCE---THE LONG HAUL

Where are you

In your personal relationship with God

Are your enduring

The trials of your life

Are you loving God

Despite the troubles in your life

Are you letting him

Love you

“For everything

That was written in the past

So that through ENDURANCE

And the encouragement of the scriptures

We might have HOPE”                                                               Romans 15:4

We are going to have problems

In this life

Of that we can be sure   

So we may as well

Stick to God

So he can be there for us

And we can be there

For one another

Turning our troubles

Into blessings 

Turning our problems into HOPE 

“May the God 

Who gives ENDURANCE and encouragement

Give you a spirit of unity

Among yourselves

As you follow Christ Jesus

So that with one heart and mouth

You may glorify the God and Father

Of our Lord Jesus Christ”                                                   Romans 15;5 & 6

Be in it

With God

Be in it

For the long haul

ENDURE means

To carry us through

Despite our hardships

God is BUILDING

Something in you

A LIFE THAT WILL LAST

Long after you have left

This world

For you are ROCK

You have built your life

On the WORD OF GOD

NOT the word

Of man

You-me-us-

We are in it

For the long haul

NOT transitory rewards

Dear Lord

We pray for a life

BUILT on your word

A life that will last

For we KNOW

That righteousness and love ENDURES forever

“He has scattered abroad

His gifts to the poor

His righteousness ENDURES forever

His horn will be lifted high in honor”                                                           Isaiah 112:9

“Give thanks to the Lord

For he is GOOD

His life ENDURES FOREVER”                                                      Psalm 136:1

So we know

That if we build our lives

On the WORD OF GOD

Our lives and love

Will ENDURE for the LONG HAUL

Our lives will LAST FOREVER

THE LIFE OF PADRE PIO

He was born May 25^th, 1887

In Italy

The only Catholic priest in history

To bear the stigmata---the 5 wounds of Christ

He was given many gifts by God

Discernment of spirit, prophecy, healing

And as a powerful intercessor for us

Before our God

He was

One of the remarkable men

Of the 2o^th century

A man with great faith

And spirituality

“Truly I say to you

Ask and it will be given to you

Seek and you shall find

Knock and

It will be open to you”

In the name of Father Padre Pio

We pray for you

To change

Each of us individually

All of us collectively

And return our world to God

“Truly I say to you

If you ask anything of the Father

In my name

He will give it to you”

Padre Pio labored endlessly

For the SALVATION of souls

“Truly I say to you

Heaven and earth will pass away

But my words

Will pass away”

Padre Pio

Was carried home to his heavenly Father---all our Fathers

On September 23^rd, 1968

He was canonized as a Saint on June 16^th, 2002

By John Paul II

Dear Lord-----I pray------we pray

To help us imitate his example of holiness and compassion

And one day---if it be your HOLY WILL

Spend eternity with him and you

“This life is short

The rewards for what we achieve

Are eternal”                                                                                    Padre Pio

And Dear Lord

We pray---that as Padre Pio lived out his life

On your words---that we do the same

In Jesus’ name---we pray

            “If anyone does not provide for his relatives

             And especially his immediate family

             He has denied the faith

             And is worse than an unbeliever”                                         1 Timothy 5:8

HONEY---THE TAX MAN IS HERE

( or the story of Saint Matthew )

“Honey---

The tax man is here”

How many of us

Like to hear those words

Or how many of us

Like getting a letter

From the IRS in the mail

Or going downtown for an audit

This is the story of Saint Matthew

Originally called Levi

A tax collector of the Jewish people

Who worked for the Roman government

One day

Jesus met Matthew

At his tax collector’s booth

And said, “follow me”

One night---while having dinner at Matthew’s house

And many of his tax collector friends

Some of the teachers of Jewish law

Were asking his disciples,

“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners”

Jesus heard about the conversation, and said,

“It is not the healthy who need a Doctor

But the sick

I have not come to call the righteous---but sinners”                                 Mark 2:16&17

Good for the Apostles

And very good for us

It is believed

That after the Resurrection

That Matthew went on

To preach the Word of God

Either in Ethiopia or Persia

And it is believed

That Matthew wrote his Gospel

From Antioch

Primarily to the Jews

But also to Gentiles and Christians

As an original Apostle

He gave us an eyewitness account

Jesus speaks more

In Matthew’s Gospel

Than in any of the other Gospels

And Matthew quotes

From many of the Old Testament books

To prove that Jesus certainly is

The “Fulfillment”---The Anointed One

Matthew traces the genealogy of Jesus

Describes Jesus’ temptation in the desert

And concludes his Gospel

With the calling of the GREAT COMMISSION

To all believers

Matthew teaches us

That the standards of God are high

And that the example that he---God---gave us

Is perfect---Jesus Christ

And Matthew teaches us

That Christ is sufficient

For whatever need we might have

And that the ways of God

Are infinitely higher

Than the ways of this world

Saint Matthew

Died a martyr’s death

September 21^st is his feast day

GOD CHANGED MY HEART

I have seen

Many miracles in my life

But the greatest miracle

I have ever seen

Is the miracle

That is taking place

Within me

God changed my heart

He gave me a brand new start

God changed my heart

God changed my heart

God changed me

From thinking I was a failure

Based on the world’s thinking

Sex, money, and violence

God changed my heart

God changed my way of thinking

That the man (or woman)

Who is a success

Is based on

Love, kindness, and forgiveness

God changed my heart

I have seen many miracles in my life

But the greatest miracle

I ever did see

Was the one

That took place within me

God changed my heart

Ps        “Listen, I tell you a mystery

             We will not all sleep

              But we will all be CHANGED-in a flash

              In the twinkling of an eye

              At the last trumpet

             For the trumpet will sound

             The dead will be raised imperishable

             And we will be CHANGED”                                       1 Corinthians 15:51-52

WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR PEACE

Finding peace in God

Finding peace in you

That’s all I know

That’s all I want to do

Where do you try

To find your peace

Is it in money

Is it in sex

Is it in

The miracles of science

If it is

You are going to be looking for a long time

Finding peace in God

Finding peace in you

That’s all I know

That’s all I want to do

You can’t find peace in money

You can’t find peace in sex

You can’t find peace

In drugs, alcohol or pornography

You can’t find peace in anything else in this world

You can only find peace in God

And by loving and forgiving others

And in order to do this

You must look deep inside of you
