How God Writes
They say that "God writes straight with crooked lines." As I look at life, crooked lines abound. Somewhere in there is a word that sometimes is The Word, the one made flesh. Perhaps the words on these pages will help as you follow the lines of your life.Christ in the Desert
Sufficient unto today
I pray for the grace
To be who I am today,
To be where I am today,
To be with the people
Whom God has placed
in my life today:Without judgment,
Without resentment,
Without expectation.In loving acceptance,
In trusting anticipation,
In faith-filled hope,
May I savor the gift of today.Fr. M. Keith LaBove
