It's been a relatively busy week. First, the snow, which is first plowed or shoveled, and which is melted in a few days because the temperature is in the upper 30's or low 40's! Go figure. Also, a friend of mine gave me some supplies for making rosaries. Her sister and mother(both now deceased) used to make them a lot. Anyway, I've been busy making my own system, and I think I've got it down now. I've made a variety of them, from small to larger ones. Now, while I still have many beads left, I seem to be getting short on crucifixes and center pieces. So, if any one has any old rosaries and would like to dispose of them or recycle them, make a comment and I will be in touch.
Next, this week's readings. We hear St. Paul tell us not to seek revenge, since it is the Lord's business in doing so. Sometimes it's hard to turn the other cheek, so to speak, but we must try to learn this.
In the Gospel from St. Matthew, we hear the words which we hear in every Mass: "Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed." Of course, we are praying for our own souls in this phrase. How unworthy are we anyway? QUITE! Something else we have to work on. Building the Faith in our lives as much as possible.
I would like to end with a Commemoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which I hope is read today, but can't be sure of unless you are right up there on the altar.
O God, who by the fruitful Virginity of Blessed Mary hast given to mankind the rewards of eternal salvation, grant, we beseech thee, that we may experience her intercession, by whom we received the Author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son.
Lord, have mercy on us.
