I humbly ask that you remember me in your prayers.  I will be meeting with oncologists this Friday.  Although I have given all over to God I will definitely need the strength to live out the plan He has for me. God bless you all and know I continue to keep my Chapel friends in my heart.

We are fortunate that God in His wisdom gives us a lifetime to discover the unconscious programs within us that influence our actions. Our meditations are an unequivocal means to uncover those hidden motivations that we become so content to live with. Thank you, Holy Spirit for your inspiration.

May I ask  this community for additional prayers for me , especially tomorrow, Thursday.  I am undergoing a left lung lobectomy and may not be joining the chapels for some time.  My saintly grandmother used to instruct us saying we should pray for those who cannot pray for themselves.  How wise she was. Now I understand.  Thank you, chapel-goers!  Marie from Long Island, NY

 

 

Yes, Lord. Your servant is listening. I love you with my whole heart and mind and soul.  I have no problem accepting your invitation for I love myself dearly and want only the best for me.  But here’s the rub:  What about your second commandment?  The one about my neighbor?  You mean those I watched  on this morning’s news committing heinous crimes are invited too?  And what about all those lukewarm who never mention you in public unless it’s to swear by you?  Will you drag them by the hair into your kingdom as well?

Lord, only by your grace can I accept your invitation and begin to understand your boundless love of all people .  Let me rest in this knowledge and not presume to understand you.  Taking the time daily to rest in your peace renews my commitment to love all people as my Father has loved me.
