Canticle For the King

My heart overflows with noble words. To the King I address the song I have made, my tongue as nimble as the pen of a scribe. ~Psalm 45:2

The Rich Young Man's Sorrow

August 21, 2017

Christ and the Rich Young Man As I was reading and meditating on today's Gospel about the Rich Young Man, the verse that struck me most, and has stayed with me a good part of this day was "...he went away sorrowful." What exactly made him sorrowful? Was it simply the fact that he did not want to hear what Jesus said about selling his possessions and giving the money to the poor, or was it something deeper?

August 18, 2017

This information loaded world we live in can cause all sorts of thoughts and distractions to flood our minds. Not all of them bad, but they can still push God right out of our daily thoughts. As I was reading and meditating upon the Scripture from Philippians pictured above, I felt the nudge to write it down and post it to my bedroom mirror where I will see it at least every morning. (I actually do this whenever a verse jumps off the page.) I didn't write it down word for word but very similarly to the way it is pictured above. Here's a general idea of what I did in case you wish to do something like it. When bad, negative or evil thoughts come... THINK of whatever is: T rue H onest. J ust ...
