Words written in red; Words of Jesus
And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal. And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them." And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Luke 9: 1 – 6
Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.
— St. Teresa of Avila
Abba, Father, Lord God, forgiveness for allowing my mind to be distracted by the needs and things under the sun, grateful and humbly aware is how I come to You know. Always seeking conscious presence with You, connected through My Lord Jesus as I walk in the Spirit seeking to maintain a humble spirit ever grateful in awareness of my weaknesses and the fact at the foot of the Cross is where my short comings will be weighted. For as I do for the least and most needed despite their intent and motives, I do for Jesus. Make my heart pure, likening it to the heart of Jesus. Help me trust with eyes of faith, and find my eyes of faith when hope dims by the weight of perceived needs and busyness under the sun. You know my heart, You know my spirit, I call on You to give me no more than what I need for me and mine, and that You let my eyes of faith, strengthen my hope, so that my love for others will be strong enough to overcome the weaknesses and short comings that burden others as mine burden me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Proverbs 30:5-9<http://www.ewtn.com/vbible/search.asp?abbr=Prov&ch=30&bv1=5&ev1=9>
5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar. 7 Two things I ask of thee; deny them not to me before I die: 8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, 9 lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, "Who is the LORD?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.
Psalm 119:29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163<http://www.ewtn.com/vbible/search.asp?abbr=Ps&ch=119&bv1=29&ev1=29&bv2=72&ev2=72&bv3=89&ev3=89&bv4=101&ev4=101&bv5=104&ev5=104&bv6=163&ev6=163>
29 Put false ways far from me; and graciously teach me thy law! 72 The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. 89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens. 101 I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep thy word. 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. 163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love thy law.

Can a Catholic Be a Democrat?<http://www.sophiainstitute.com/productdetails.cfm?sku=191> By David Carlin author of The Decline and Fall of the Catholic Church in America. That's a good question, since these days both parties endorse policies or engage in activities that contradict some or many Catholic teachings about abortion, poverty, immigration, war and peace, or other issues of life and justice. But that's not always been the case.
