Mine to Do
What I Deserve
At the end of the day, the problem is not that the poor have no voice; it is that no one is listening. Bryant Myers (Walking with the Poor)
I May Not Know What is Best
He also loves. He also has suffered.
He also has waited a long time.
C.S. Lewis
On Psalm 46:1
The Lord is an ever-present help in times of trouble.
I would prefer
An ever-present help that removes all trouble.
An ever-present help that prevents all trouble.
An ever-present help that guarantees that there are no times of trouble.
But there are times of great trouble. And in those times the Lord is ever-present. And in this Presence alone, there is great help.
The More a Person Opens His Heart
The more a person opens his heart to me, the more important it is that he should find in me a man in close contact with God.
Litany of Humility
O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, hear me.
_From the desire of being esteemed, deliver me, Jesus.
_From the desire of being honored, deliver me, Jesus.
_From the desire of being loved, deliver me, Jesus.
_From the desire of being sought out, deliver me, Jesus.
