A HEAVY LOAD

 

 

It’s a heavy load

I carry

It’s a heavy load

Trying to pull me

To the ground

 

This load I carry

Is on my mind
This load I carry

Is in my soul

This load

I carry

Is all

Through my heart

This load I carry

Is for you

 

I carry it

With love

I carry it

With kindness

I carry it

With forgiveness

 

This load I carry

Is for God

This load I carry

Is for me

 

This load I carry

Is for you too

This load I carry

Is a very heavy load

SAINT LUCY

 

 

 

SAINT LUCY---VISION

 

 

Lucy was a virgin

A martyr

And today she is considered to be

The patroness of the blind

 

She died in the year of 304

During the persecution of Diocletian

 

She was

A wealthy Sicilian

Who refused marriage offers

Gave her goods 

To the poor

And was accused

By one of her suitors

To the authorities

 

The judge ordered her

To be sent to a brothel

And become violated

 

But she became miraculously immovable

 

He tried to have her burnt

Also unsuccessful

 

Finally---she was killed

By a sword

 

Legend has it

That her eyes too---were torn out

Only to be miraculously restored

 

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

That in a world

That has become blinded

By your vision for it

 

Blinded by greed

Blinded by sexual lust

And just blinded

By our own pure selfishness

 

We pray

That we have the faith

Of Saint Lucy

And we pray for your vision

 

Your vision for our world

And your vision---for each of us individually

And all of us collectively

To be returned to us---TO YOU

 

IN JESUS’ NAME WE PRAY

A LEAP OF FAITH

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 13^th, 2012

 

 

Life

Is a leap of faith

 

Love is a leap of faith

Trust

Is a leap of faith

How many leaps                                                                   

Are you willing to take

 

How far

Are you willing to reach

How many bridges

Are you willing

To try and build

 

How many risks

Are you willing

To take

 

Are you willing

To take

A leap of faith

Ps        FAITH is defined as trust in and reliance on GOD

 

“Abraham believed the Lord, and he credited to him as righteousness”         Genesis 15:6

 

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness-and all these things

Will be given to you as well-therefore do NOT worry about tomorrow

For tomorrow will worry about itself-

EACH DAY has enough trouble of its own”                                             Matthew 6:33-34

 

“In the same way-FAITH by itself

If it is not accompanied by action-is dead”                                                James 2:17

 

PERSEVERE IN THE 21st CENTURY=WITH JESUS=and the GOD OF LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

PERSEVERE IN THE 21^ST CENTURY=

(With Jesus=and THE GOD OF LOVE)

 

Today Jesus  PROMISES US TOTAL SECURITY=But he warns us=That the road ahead=

May be difficult and PAINFUL=at times=”You will be HATED by all=Because of my name=

BUT NOT a HAIR=On your head=will be destroyed=BY YOUR PERSEVERANCE=You

Will secure your lives”                                                                                                                                    Luke 21:17-18

 

IS it any wonder=That those hearing Jesus’ words=all WALKED AWAY=Even Peter denies

Jesus 3 times=But then GOT IT RIGHT=And NOW us Christians=have PERSEVERED into

The 21^st century=We have persevered with Jesus=and the GOD OF LOVE=His Father=

Well into the 21^st century=as their apostles

“Watch your life=and doctrine closely=PERSEVERE IN THEM=Because if you do=You will

Receive=what he has promised”                                                                                                  Hebrews 10:36

And IN=This 21^st century together=On this JOURNEY OF FAITH=With the Father and HIS

RELATIONSHIPS=and YET WE PERSEVERE=We ENDURE=as apostles OF FAITH=in today’s

Times=Because we have=WITNESSED GREAT MIRACLES OF LOVE=Through the Father and=

His Son=PERSEVERING  as MODERN DAY CHRISTIANS=in this the 21^st century

 

“By FAITH=he left Egypt=Not fearing the king’s anger=HE PERSEVERED because=He saw him=

Who is invisible”                                                                                                                                             Hebrews 11:27

“As you know=We count as BLESSED=Those who have PERSEVERED=You have heard  of

JOB’S PERSEVERANCE=and have seen=What the LORD=Finally brought about=The Lord is

Full of compassion and mercy”                                                                                                              James 5:11

Grown weary”                                                                                                                                                Revelation 2:3

 

TO CONTINUE=to Follow Jesus=and his Father=THE GOD OF LOVE=REQUIRES multiple

Choices=Each and every day=Of our life=I am GRATEFUL=to be=A 21^st century apostle=Of the

Holy Father God=and his Son Jesus Christ=Because they LOVE US UNCONDITIONALLY=That is

WHY=I PERSEVERE in faith and ENDURE=as a MODERN day 21^st century Christian apostle

Will be blessed=Through him=and they will call him blessed”                                                Psalm 72:17

Disown us”                                                                                                                                              2  Timothy 2:12

 

OUR GOD OF LOVE=The Father=and his SON=LOVES each one of us=Through our

FEARS and our failures=NO MATTER how many times=We did fail=TO FOLLOW HIM=

We can still get it right=and PERSEVERE to be=21^st CENTURY APOSTLES==It is our

CHASING RAINBOWS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 12^th, 2012

 

 

CHASING RAINBOWS

 

 

Chasing rainbows

In the sky

Looking for loving

Looking for God

Sometimes that is

All I want to do

Is chase rainbows

In the sky

 

The colors are luminous

The decision is unanimous

Sometimes all I want to do

Is chase rainbows

In the sky

 

Chasing rainbows

Chasing love

Chasing God

And all his ways

 

I know

I can never capture them

But I get

A feeling of pleasure

From chasing rainbows

In the sky

 

Robert P. Wallman

Ps        The RAINBOW is the sign of God’s covenant

 

 

“And God said, “This is the sign of my covenant I am making

Between me and you and every living creature with you

A covenant for all generations to come

 

I have set my RAINBOW in the clouds and it will be

The sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”                                Genesis 9:12-13

GOD IS STILL WITH YOU

 

GOD IS STILL WITH YOU

Have you ever

Faced a period in your life

WHERE you felt

You could no longer

Go on

Perhaps because of health problems

Or financial problems

Or even relationship problems

MAYBE all three

At the same time

You can STILL make it

Our Lord is with you

God is still with you

Cod will carry you onward

“Master-it is good that we are here”                                                  Luke 9:33

God will 

Carry us forward

“He tends his flock

Like a shepherd

He gathers the lambs 

In his arms

And CARRIES them

CLOSE to his heart”                                                                Isaiah 40:11

“Even to your old age

And gray hairs

I am He

I am he

Who will sustain you

I have made you

And I will CARRY YOU

I will sustain you

And I will RESCUE you”                                                                Isaiah 46:4

GOD IS STILL WITH YOU

He will carry you

He will carry me-HOME

He will sustain us

Through every suffering

He will sustain us

Through every anxiety

Through every storm

Jesus was about to enter Jerusalem

To suffer-to die

Almost too much to bear

For the apostles

But Jesus was PREPARING them

And SHARED his transfiguration 

With Peter-James-and John

They were ecstatic

They saw the “glory”

That was to come

Through Jesus Christ

They would NEED this GRACE

To bolster them

In the days ahead

The same way

We need the LORD'S GRACE

In our times of suffering

“For the law

Was given through Moses

GRACE and truth

CAME through Jesus Christ”                                                      John 1:17

“With GREAT POWER

The apostles 

Continued to testify

To the RESURRECTION

Of the Lord Jesus

And GOD'S GRACE

Was so powerfully in work in them all

That there was NO needy persons

Among them”                                                                           Acts 4:33

And God's grace

Is in us

To BOLSTER US

In times of need

GRACE-little rays of GOD'S LIGHT

Is there

In even our darkest moments

God has NOT abandoned us 

He is still with you

He is still with me

And that is forever-

For ALL of eternity-

GOD IS STILL WITH US

ONE KIND MAN

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 10^th, 2012

 

 

ONE KIND MAN

 

 

One kind man

With whom we can trust

One kind man

With whom we can love

 

We have been down

We have been almost out

And each time

We found

 

One kind man

With whom we can trust

One kind man

With whom we can love

 

The kindness just came

We never had to ask

It was presented unselfishly

He just took it upon himself

Like it was his job

Like it was his task

 

That is

My Uncle John

He is

 

One kind man

With whom we can trust

He is

One kind man

With whom we can love

 

He is just

One kind man

THREE BEST FRIENDS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 9^th, 2012

 

 

THREE BEST FRIENDS

 

 

My mother always said

That she had three best friends

 

There was Aunt Betty-my dad’s cousin

Her and mom shared everything

And as they grew up

Aunt Betty and her family

And our family were often together

 

Aunt Betty was loyal-kind-sincere-

And full of love

But she could be tough

When she had to be

 

Then there was Aunt Karen-my Uncle John’s wife

Karen grew up in a little town in West Virginia-called Franklin

We spent all of our holidays with John and Karen

And their family growing up

We had so much fun together that it was unbelievable

They were kindred spirits

 

Then there was my mom’s friend-Diane

Diane worked with my mom

She was 24 years younger than my mom

She has remained my mom’s friend-and our family’s friend

To this day

Even though we now live a 1,000 mules away

She continues to call a couple of times a week

 

A couple of honorable mentions to Ella and Carole Lee

Ella was the woman who hired my mom

When she went back to work at the billing department

Of the hospital

Carole Lee was a woman my mom worked with

Both became family friends

 

Ella has been gone over twenty years now

And we no longer have much contact with Carole Lee

But we hear bits and pieces about her through Diane

 

For my mom’s friends-here’s to you

 

Robert P. Wallman

 

Ps        Today is my Aunt Karen’s birthday

            Outside of my sisters-and four nieces

            She is probably the closest person

            That I have left in this world

 

            I have known Karen since I was about ten years old

           So many memories-I wouldn’t know where to start

 

           I love you Karen-You will be in my heart forever

 

“A FRIEND LOVES AT ALL TIMES”                                                       Proverbs 17:17

Who are poor

For yours is

The KINGDOM OF GOD”                                                                                    Matthew 6:20

Everywhere we look-

We can see GOD'S KINGDOM

For the kingdom of GOD

When we feel PAIN

Where LIFE is protected-

When God HEALS US-

Or someone else

GOD'S KINGDOM IS AT HAND

Mixed with spices

He pours it out

And all the wicked

Of the earth

Drink it down

Its very dregs”                                                                                                 Psalm 75:8

PROCLAIM the good news

Of the Lord

With your life

Proclaim the KINGDOM OF GOD

With your mouth

GOD'S KINGDOM LIVES!

“'The right time has come'

He said=

'And the KINGDOM OF GOD

Is NEAR!'

Turn away from your sins

And BELIEVE the good news'”                                                                      Mark 1:14-15

GOD'S KINGDOM LIVES!=in the 

Kingdom of Jesus=and in our LIVING=LOVING=GOD THE FATHER

In Jesus' name

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 8^th, 2012

 

 

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

 

 

Today is the feast day

Of The Immaculate Conception

The day we honor Mary

For giving birth to Jesus

For saying YES TO GOD

When all others

Would have said no

 

As far as I know

There have been NO OTHER virgin births

 

But I would like to PAY tribute

To ALL those women

Who have spent their life

DEVOTED to their family       ( including my own mom )

And devoted to their children

 

And to all the women who have tried

 

 

MARY

 

 

Mary was a woman

Of pure grace

She said yes

When all others

Would have said no

Today-Mary-on your feast day

 

We thank you

For your faith

We thank you

For your pure grace

And MOST of all

We thank you

For saying yes

When all others

Would have said no

Ps       “But after he had considered this-an angel of the Lord

            Appeared to him in a dream and said

 

            “Joseph son of David-do not be afraid to take Mary home

             As your wife-because what is CONCEIVED in her

             Is from the Holy Spirit”                                                                 Matthew 1:20

 

            “No eye has seen-no ear has heard

             No mind has CONCEIVED

             What GOD has prepared for those who LOVE him”                  1 Corinthians 2:9

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

 

 

The kingdom of God

Belongs to no man

The kingdom of God

Belongs to every man

The kingdom of God

Belongs to every land

The kingdom of God

Lies within you

 

The kingdom of God                                                                         

Is love

The kingdom of God

Is truth

The kingdom of God

Lies within you

 

The kingdom of God

Belongs to no religion

The kingdom of God

Belongs to every religion

The kingdom of God

Lies within you

 

The kingdom of God

Is seen

In loving our neighbor

Our neighbor

Is every man

Not just

The ones we choose

 

The kingdom of God

Lies in

Forgiving each other

The kingdom of God

Lies within you

 

The kingdom of God

Lies within you

Ps        the KINGDOM OF GOD is wherever God is reigning;

            Hopefully within each one of our hearts

 

“After John was put in prison-Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming

The good news of God---“The time of God is near-

Repent and BELIEVE the good new”                                                     Mark 1:14-15

 

“But if I drive out demons by the finger of God

Then the KINGDOM OF GOD has come to you”                                    Luke 11:20

 

“Then the end will come-when he hands over the KINGDOM OF GOD

The Father after he destroyed all dominion-authority-and power

 

For he must reign until he put all his enemies under his feet

The last enemy to be destroyed is death”                                         1 Corinthians 15:24-26                                                 

 

WHAT'S BEST TO GIVE=OF OURSELVES

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT’S BEST TO GIVE=OF OURSELVES

(From Mary’s 11-23-2025)

 

TODAY=we FIND our Jesus  Observing people=and what they OFFER=into the

Treasury=He observes wealthy people=PUTTING IN=from their excess  wealth=and

Then he PRAISES A WIDOW=for putting in all she has=Two small coins=Jesus

Praises HER GENEROSITY and her piety=”……..He noticed A POOR WIDOW=Putting

In TWO SMALL COINS=……..she=from her POVERTY=has offered her  WHOLE

LIVELIHOOD”                                                                                                                                                Luke 21:2, 4

 

This WIDOW’S EXAMPLE challenges us=to ask ourselves=WHAT BEST=Can we GIVE

Of ourselves=to God and TO OTHERS?=Just like the poor widow=Give all that you can

Give=ALL we can give OF OURSELVES=Our time=Our energy=and whatever Material

Value we can give=”Therefore I urge you=Brothers and sisters=IN view of God’s mercy=

TO OFFER your bodies =as a living sacrifice=Holy and pleasing to God=--------This is your

True and proper worship”                                                                                                                  Romans 12:1

“Unlike the other high priests=He does not need=TO OFFER sacrifices day after day=

First for his own sins=and then for the sins=Of the people”                                                     Hebrews 7:27

“Through Jesus therefore= let us Continually OFFER TO GOD=a sacrifice of praise=

The fruit of lips=That openly profess his name”                                                                           Hebrews 13:15

 

We need to CARE for others=But we need to=Take care OF OURSELVES TOO=Or we will have

NOTHING to give others=But GIVE your=”TW SMALL COINS”=at all times=To the world=and

To the Holy Father God=and HIS SON!

 

Our Lord=and OUR HOLY FATHER GOD!=wants you to do that=and to PRAY=On how to

HELP OTHERS=He will help us=TO UNDERSTAND=WHAT IS BEST to=GIVE of ourselves=and what

We have=TO OFFER this world=”All day long=He craves for more=But the righteous GIVE

WITHOUT SPARING”                                                                                                                             Proverbs 21:26

“I WILL GIVE You=a new heart=and put a new spirit in you=I will remove from your heart=

Of stone=and give you=a HEART of flesh”                                                                                    Ezekiel 36:26

“Heal the sick=Raise the dead=Cleanse those who have leprosy=Drive out demons=

Freely you have received=FREELY GIVE”                                                                                       Matthew 10:8

 

DEAR LORD=we pray=We  KNOW you see the TRUE and full picture of our lives=and of

OUR HEARTS=Please help us=TO LIVE like you=and your Holy Father=and GIVE what

We can of ourselves=Just like you=OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE=and the PURE example=of

Our POOR WIDOW

 

HELP us to FIND TIME=to find energy=and use our own MATERIAL BLESSINGS=to build up the world=

AND to HELP OTHERS=as we can=You and the widow=are EXAMPLE DEAR LORD=”I have-

SET TOU AN EXAMPLE=That you should do=as I have done for you”=John 13:15

Dear Lord=HELP us to FIND=WHAT IS BEST=TO GIVE OF OURSELVES=Just like the Poor

Widow=Just like you=and Just like OUR HOLY FATHER GOD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever LOVING=ever living=and our PERFECT EXAMPLE=

The Holy Father God!

LIFE IS A MIRACLE

 

 

 

 

November 22^nd

 

 

“Life is a Miracle”

 

 

How many lives

Have you got

Don’t really know

But I assure you

A cat has

Nothing on me

 

Life is a miracle

I’ve abused it

I’ve used it

And I know

A cat has

Nothing on me

Life is a miracle

 

I’ve been used by life

People have used me

Life has abused me

Yeah

A cat has

Nothing on me

Life is a miracle

 

One thing that

I have learned about God

You never

Run out of chances

Because God never runs out of forgiveness

Yeah a cat has

Nothing on me

Life is a miracle

 

Life is a miracle

It can take you

So low

That you can want it to end

Or it can

Take you so high

That you think

It will never end

But anyway you cut it

Life is a miracle

 

A cat has

Nothing on me

Life is a miracle

 

Life is a miracle
