"The storm makes my heart beat wildly...God sends lightning across the sky....and torrents of drenching rain. He brings our work to a s top." ~ Job 37:1-2, 6-7

As a boy, Frederick Buechner loved the rain. He loved the feel of it on his face and legs. Above all, he wrote: "I loved the sound of it on trees and roofs and window panes.... I loved th e hiss of rubber tires on rainy streets and the flip-flop of windshield wip ers. I loved the smell of wet grass and raincoats and shaggy coats of dogs. A rainy day was a special day....a day when the ordinariness of things was suspended....and even people transformed....as the rain drew them closer." ~ Frederick Buechner, The Sacred Journey

Why do rainy days draw us closer:
Why does this hold true for "figurative" rainy days as well?

How beautiful is the rain?
After the dust and heat,< br>In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain. ~ Henry Wadswor...

Her skin was dark like his own and she spoke his language. She comforted Diego and asked him to visit the Bishop of Mexico. He was to tel l the bishop her name was Santa Maria de Coatlallope and that she wanted a church built on the mountain. The bishop didn't believe Diego, but Our Lad y appeared to Diego again and sent him back to the bishop with a sign.

He said, "Why don't you wait in the car where i t's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan." Well, all she had was a f lat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. She asked him how muc h she owed him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He told her that if she reall y wanted to pay him back, she could take care of the next person who neede d help and "think of me". A few miles down the road the lady saw a small ca fe. Her waitress came over with a sweet smile. She was eight months pregnan t, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. Then the la dy remembered Bryan. After she finished her meal, she left the waitress fi ve $100 bills and a note - "You don't owe me anything, I have been there t oo. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you...

"Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will a lso do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these ." ~ John 14:12

We can do greater works when we have more experi ence of the new way of life. We can have all the power we need from God. We can have God's grace, God's spirit, to make us effective as we go along each day. Opportunities for a better world are all around us. Greater works can we do. But we do not work alone. The power of God is behind all our go od works.
~ Fr. Pat Umberger

Pray that we may find a right ful place in the world. Pray that our work may be made more effective by th e grace of God.

In the above verse, does Jesus means the Chu rch will do works greater in power? Greater in scope? How cou ld this be?

When there is no wind, row. ~ Chinese Prov erb
