"Fishermen throw their nets out in the lake and catch all ki nds of fish. When the net is full, they pull it to shore and sit down to d ivide the fish. The good ones go into the buckets, the worthless ones are thrown away. It will be like this at the end of the age." ~ Matthew 13: 47-49

Albert Schweitzer was a concert pianist who gave up his career in music to become a doctor and missionary to Africa. He once said, "It's not enough to say, "I'm a good father. I'm a good husband." ....You must do something .... for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers and sisters are here too." ~ Mark Link , S.J.

Do you count your fraternal brothers in your circle of frien ds?

"Yours are the only hands with which God can do his work... Y ours are the only eyes through which God's compassion can shine upon a trou bled world." ~ Saint Teresa of Avila

"Love the LORD your God.... This is the greatest and the mos t important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."~ Matthew 22:37-39

An old poem by an unknown poet asks this question: "What is Love?" The poet re sponds by listing six answers. They go something like this:

Love is -
silence - when words would hurt,
patience - when another's hurt,
deafness - when another's mad,
gentleness - when another's sad,
promptness - whe n need is seen,
courage - when life is mean.

< br>Of the poet's answers of love, which do I score highest on? Lowest? Wha t is one concrete thing I might do to make my love more like Jesus' love?
What does love look like? It has feet to go to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear sighs and sorrow." ~ Saint Augustine

"O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hands." ~ Isaiah 64-7

Like a tree, we must be pruned of a lot of dead branches before we will be read y to bear good fruit. We can think of changed people as trees which have be en stripped of their old branches, pruned, cut and bare. But through the dark, seemingly dead branches flow silently and secretly. With the new sap comes new life. With the sun of spring, there are new leaves, buds, blo ssoms, and fruit, many times better because of the pruning. We are in the hands of the Master Gardener, who makes no mistakes in His pruning. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger

Pray that we may cut away the dead branches of our liv es. Pray that we may not mind the pruning, since it helps us to bea r good fruit later.

Choose one area of your prayer life which might benefit from attention, such as repentance, faith, zeal, relationship, boldness, humility, contentedness, concern for God's honor. H...

"If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose fai th in me, (woe to that person)>" ~ Mark 9:42

A skinny boy w ith a shoeshine kit stood at the edge of a sidewalk cafe. A woman felt a su rge of admiration for him for trying to be a man and earn a living. Just th en a man charged out of the cafe, grabbed the boy, and threw him like a b ag of garbage out into the street.

The women's heart went out for the boy. Why did the man treat the boy so brutally? He hadn't picked a nybody's pocket. He hadn't stolen anyone's purse. He hadn't tried to sell d rugs.

As the boy limped off, ashamed and humiliated; the di ners went back to eating. The woman wondered: "How will this cruel experien ce affect his attitude toward work and people? ~ Mark Link, S.J.

Ho w would you have reacted if you had witnessed this incident? Now, in retro spect, how should a Catholic gentleman react?

PFC Milton Lee Olive III sacrif iced his own life to save four fellow soldiers during the Vietnam War. An e nemy grenade landed in the midst of five soldiers. Without thinking twice, Olive smothered it with his own body. In awarding him the Medal of Honor p osthumously, President Lyndon Johnson said:

"In that incredible bri ef moment... in which he decided to die, he put others first and himself l ast. I have always believed that to be the hardest but the highest decision that any man is called upon to make." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What is on e of the hardest decisions you were ever called upon to make? What helped y ou make it?

"If you limit your choices only to what seems possibl e or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and al l that is left is compromise." ~ Robert Fritz

"Love is patient and kind.... Love never gives up." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4,7

Alan Loy McGinnis tells this story about the aut hor Dr. Norman Lobsenz. Young Norman's wife was in the midst of a serious i llness, and the ordeal was taking its toll on Norman. One night he was on the verge of collapse when, suddenly, he recalled an incident from his ch ildhood. One night when his mother had taken ill, Norman got up around mid night to get a drink of water. As he passed his parents' bedroom, he saw h is father sitting in a chair on his mother's side of the bed. She seemed fa st asleep. Norman rushed into the room and cried, "Daddy, is Mom worse?" "No, Norman," his father said softly, "I'm just sitting here watching ov er her, in case she wakes and need something."

That long-forgotten incident from his childhood gave Norman all the strength he needed to carry on. ~ Mark Link, S.J.
