"Whatever you did for one of the least important of these fo llowers of mine, you did it for me." ~ Matthew 25:40
An editori al began: "A priest we know recently described his experience of being conf ronted by a beggar while eating at a fast-food restaurant. The beggar said he was hungry, and the priest, intimidated and nervous, could only say, "I;m sorry," and look the other way.
Later, as the priest recoun ted the story, he was praying Psalm 80, "LORD, let me see your face," w hen the image of the beggar came to mind.
How many times have you se en the LORD and not recognized him?... Christ simply appears before us:& nbsp; hungry, cold and ill. Once He was a condemned prisoner led to the s laughter for the sins of others. Now He approaches us in McDonald's smellin g badly....Do we see His face?" ~ The Sunday Visitor < br>What keeps us from seeing Jesus' face in the people around us?

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his li fe for his friends." ~ John 15:13
A platoon of U.S. troops was d riven back and one of their infantrymen was wounded by gunfire. As he lay o n the battlefield, a friend asked his sergeant in the foxhole, "Can I go get 'im?" "There's no use. He's probably dead," the sergeant answered. "An d even if he isn't dead, you'd never make it back alive. But if you want t o...."
Those last few words were all the friend needed to hear. Craw ling on elbows and knees he reached the bleeding infantryman, hoisted him to his shoulders, and hobbled back. As he neared the foxhole, the heroic friend was hit in the chest with a bullet and the two friends collapsed in a heap. The sergeant tried to find the pulse of the infantryman and there w as none. Dead. Then he told the soldier, "I told you it would be sensel ess. Your friend is dead, and now you've been shot." Fighting for air, the friend painfully explained, "No, I have no ...

"The LORD is my shepherd...Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid." ~ Psalm 23:1, 4
Father Joseph Hogan was a chaplain in Europe with the U.S. Third Army. One Sunday, he f elt the presence of God in a way that touched him deeply. The wrote: "I was saying Mass on top of a jeep. The men were standing there with their gu ns slung over their backs and their helmets on. The ack-ack was pecking at the planes upstairs. There was a torrent of rain coming down and a sea of m ud to wallow in. So I said, 'Don't bother to kneel down.' And they didn't , until the Consecration. Then every man went down on his knees.... When th ey sloshed up to receive Holy Communion, they again knelt in mud puddles." ~ Joseph F. Hogan, A Do-It-Yourself Retreat

"He who stands firm to the end will be saved." ~ Matthew 24:13
How many of the world's prayers have gone unanswered because those who prayed did not endure to the end? They thought it was too late, that they must act for themselves, that God was not going to guide them. C an I endure to the very end? If so, we shall be saved. We should try to en dure with courage. Then God will unlock those secret spiritual treasures wh ich are hidden from those who give up to soon. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger
Pr ay that we may follow God's guidance, so that spiritual success shall be o urs. Pray that we may never doubt the power of God and so take things into our own hands.

"So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: See, I lay a ston e in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation: the one who trusts will never be dismayed." ~ Isaiah 28:16
I liv e in earthquake country, astride the Hayward fault, itself connected to t he gigantic San Andreas fault. I have often thought of the Golden Gate Brid ge in San Francisco as our city's boldest structure in that its great south pier rests directly upon the fault one of the San Andreas. That bridge is an amazing structure of both flexibility and strength,. It is built to sway some twenty feet at the center of its one-mile suspension span. The se cret to its durability is its flexibility, which enables this sway. By des ign, every part of the bridge - its concrete roadway, its steel railings , its cross beams - is inevitably related from one welded joint to the othe r, up through the vast cable system to two great towers and two great land anchor piers. The towers bear most of the weight, a...

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
The following inscription was reportedly discovered on an old stone sentry box on the island of Gibra ltar:
God and the soldier All men adore In time of trouble,And no more: For when war is over And all things righted, God i s neglected - The old soldier slighted.
Nations last when citizen s remember the important things in times of difficulty and in times of ease . How does our assembly minister to homeless veterans?
