Our Stream of Life –Giving Water
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord….. Jeremiah 17:7
He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream.
On our provincial house property, we have a hugh oak tree estimated to be 300 years old. It towered so far above the other trees that you can’t even see its top. Its trunk is so massive it takes about five adults with outstretched arms to encircle it. One secret to its longevity and size is the stream that runs nearby. This incredible tree has the good fortune of being rooted next to a generous supply of water.
What about us? Do we stay close to our “spiritual water supply,” that is, Scripture, the Eucharistic prayer, family, friends, nature and our loving service of others? If so, thank God! If not, what draws us away?
God, help me to stay rooted in you. Sr Melanie Svoboda, SND
Love…..4 year old style
An elderly gentlemen had recently lost his wife. His next-door neighbors were a young couple and their 4-year old son.
When he saw the man sitting in a chair on his patio, crying, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
Upon his return home, the 4 year old’s mother asked the little boy what he had said to the neighbor.
“Nothing,” was the little boy’s answer. “ I just helped him cry.”
We welcome Fr. Elmer Holtman for the Mass today
Fr Elmer is a retired priest of our diocese.
