Try to enter the narrow way...

Abba Poemen said: 'Teach your heart to follow what your tongue is saying to others.' He also said, 'Men try to appear excellent in preaching but they are less excellent in practising what they preach.'

From today's first reading at Mass...



"Anyone who is so 'progressive' as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God, whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son." - 2 John: 4-9

"Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather." - Today's Gospel,  Luke 17: 37

    I knew an elderly Carmelite Nun who prayed EVERY day for this...makes you think!

  2. It is interesting that in today's reading the word "progressive" has been put in place of "running ahead" in an older version.

  3. Mr. Terry: I think I will, in fact, put you into my formal will; not to scare you or anything...all will be be well provided for...my funeral Mass et. al... the Masses, etc... don't worry.
    But I can assure myself, that you dear friend, and friend of God, won't screw up everything at the last moment.
    Of that I am sure.
    Dammit.

  4. I noted the reading yesterday as well. Unfortunately, the people who really need to hear it probably did not.
