Words written in red; Words of Jesus
Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?" And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Eli’jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen." And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God." But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
Luke 9:18-22
 
Read some chapter of a devout book. It is very easy and most necessary, for just as you speak to God when at prayer, God speaks to you when you read.
— St Vincent de Paul
 
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for so much, humbled through the reality of my stumbles and shortcomings and the awareness of the Spirit within me reflecting the image of Jesus as a backdrop to compare and judge my walk in reflective moments and to convict me as I walk present and conscious in all I think, say and do. O Abba Father for the sake of His sorrowful passion on mercy on us and on the whole world. In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
 
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2  a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3  a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. 9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man’s mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Psalm 144:1-4
Luke 9:18-22

Can a Catholic Be a Democrat? 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.
