If you’ve got children, you should get this book and read it to them every few months. It’s a great, age-appropriate, and approachable way to casually talk about safety with smaller children.
Currently reading: Diary of a Country Priest by Georges Bernanos 📚— Just finished chapter 4. Such an odd and wonderful book! I’m not entirely certain what all is going on, but I have deep sympathy for the priest and relate to his struggles among his village.
We who no longer thirst, should not forget the hungry.
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once, but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:9-11
Truly this was the Son of God.

It’s often easy online the feel “less than” because you don’t read enough theology. I found this quote from The Diary of a Country Priest encouraging. — Eat of theology, yes, but do not feast while others starve.
Jesus saith unto him, “Feed my sheep.”

It’s super interesting what’s still possible on an N64. Amazing what maths and long study can achieve. People are pretty cool. youtu.be/xwls5SpNn…
Moving to a paper calendar and task list has been a game changer for me. I’ve never been this on top of my life and so clear on what needs to be done.
As a child of God, each person is entitled to enjoy the goodness of the Creator’s world, but is also charged with the responsibility to cultivate it to bring forth God’s good gifts. For many poor people, the good intentions of the affluent have robbed them of the privileges that are their birthright and frustrated their attempts to take responsibility in the Father’s good creation.
The challenge, however, is to wed this compassion to action that works. The poor don’t need what they often receive from the affluent: secondhand clothes, free Thanksgiving meals and taxpayer-funded government aid. The poor, whether in the developed or developing world, need opportunity. They need the freedom to address their own poverty in their own context.

So, curious, how many other ministries or parishes are using the 2019 TLE? Am I the only one?

My absolute favorite subject at our homeschool co-op is cooking. I love “reviewing” our children’s work. 👨🍳
There is no greater joy as a priest than seeing God do a powerful work in the life of a parishioner. — God has prepared a feast of joy and happiness for his laborers. It is to our own detriment if we chose to sit in our busyness. In the fields of His harvest there is great joy!
