REFLECTION FOR TODAY
If we try to escape sadness by seeking our consolation in sleep,we will fail to find what we are seeking, for we will lose in sleep the consolation we might have recieved from God if we had stayed awake and prayed.
-- St. Thomas More
READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Joel 2:12-18(A Call to Repentance)
12 “Yet even now,” says Yahweh, “turn to me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 Tear your heart, and not your garments, And turn to Yahweh, your God; For he is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, And relents from sending calamity.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind him, Even a meal offering and a drink offering to Yahweh, your God.
