USE THE BROKEN! Allow God to use all of who we are and not just the best parts of ourselves. Even our brokenness can work for the Glory of God and to assist God to do His work here on earth. St. Paul tells us "In my weakness I find my strength," because in our weakness, we turn to God...who is our strength! Let us accept His invitation and let every part of us go to the Lord, that His will be done in and through us. "Broken Things_ - Matthew West "Invitacion Fountain - Greg Hjelle...

Psalm 104: 24 Do you ever wonder where God lives? He is present, of course, in the most intimate and powerful way in Eucharist. It's one of the reasons I love to spend time in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. But... where God LIVES is broader than His mere presence. Fr. Ron taught his nephew the answer to that question many years ago.... MUSIC - All Creatures of Our God and King - James Heather, "Stories from Far Away on Piano"

It's easy for us to get so involved in our own life, day to day, that we don't think about God. We naturally assume that God is always present even if we are not aware of His hand guiding and shaping our lives. But as Sr. Carol shares today in our reflection, all it takes is an unexpected tragedy to remind us how blessed we are. Like a sparrow her young, so does God watch over and care for us. Always.

PROVERBS 17: 6 Peggy is a new grandma! Well, has been for a little bit now and is loving it. So when she read this scripture today from Proverbs about the blessing of children it really hit home. But how about those of us who do not have children? Is Proverbs excluding the childless? Well, like so much in God's Word, the truth is sometimes hidden from plain view. Peggy helps us see it in today's reflection.
