"Every Small Candle Lights A Corner Of The Dark,
And The Darkness Cannot Overcome it."

The Catholic Calendar and Daily Meditation . Friday, August 2, 2013 . Friday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time . St. Eusebius of Vercelli, bishop St. Peter Julian Eymard, priest . Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: http://new.usccb.org/bible/readings/080213.cfm . Leviticus 23:1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34b-37 Psalm 81:3-4, 5-6, 10-11ab Matthew 13:54-58 . A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture: . Today, Holy Scripture gives us an account of Jesus' ministry in His native place. Sadly it recounts that because of their lack of faith, He did not work many mighty deeds there. . Are you ever on the brink of being complacent, disinterested and unimpressed? Does life ever seem to be losing its fizz like a Coke or Pepsi that's gone flat? . Certainly, there can be many reasons why our lives sometimes seem blah, but did you ever stop to think that maybe it's because your faith has become flat? . Think about it, consider it and if "the shoe fits. . ." (a phrase my dear mother used to say) do something! . Perhaps pray more, do some spiritual reading, listen to some sacred music. spend some time in the mysterious presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Be still, and unlike Jesus' own town folk, know that He is God, so that you may recognize His many mighty deeds and be filled with joy! .

Every single person and every single creature that is alive today on this Earth
- August 24, 2008 til around the year 2880 will all be dead when January 1, 3000 happens.
What do I know:
- I don't even know exactly how many generations of people that is.
- I have absolutely no idea what the terrain will look like then,
and I know that most things occurring today,
and for quite awhile from now, will not matter
or even be remembered by those alive then.
Will they even have books?
What can happen within the approx span of 1000 years or so?
- The Roman Empire lasted approx 851 years. [625BC-476AD]
- The Pilgrim exploring party went ashore at Plymouth in America [1620] approx 388 years ago.
- The Nazi Party Ruled approx. 12 years [1933-1945]
- The Titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes for her to sink. [11:40pm:14th-2:20am:15th April 1912]
- There is active Christian discussion on this being the latter day
- the time being at hand -
that indicates that somewhere in this clock
the prophecied tribulation could happen.
Would I be worthy?
- 10 out of 10 people do not leave this world alive.
- Somewhere in the time of this clock I'll be leaving here,
just like others I have known have already left.
- I know that spirits exist.
Do I know where those I have known are in spirit - no.
But I know that they are alive in the Lord's heart.
I know that He knows just where they are.
I hope and pray that they are ok.
In His heart I know and believe that they are.
- I believe in the promises of Christ, and know that I am ok.
What do you know?
Note: I have certain items from Bravenet.com like Guestbook, free links, etc. I do not have control over the banner or pop-up advertisements that appear on the sites of these items. I am dismayed at some of the content of the advertisements, but with limited ministry funds it isn't always practical to upgrade in order to remove them.My plan is to only upgrade as needed.
