- Ephesians 3:20-21 -
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in
the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen.

By believing that God keeps his promises, we will become stronger
in our
faith and more at peace. Hardships that once would have thrown us off
course
will lose their power to shake us. Hope will replace discouragement,
and trust
will overcome doubt. Each time trouble comes, focus your attention
upon your
loving heavenly Father and his ability to care for you.

October 8th - St. Simeon
Holy Simeon lived in the first century. In Luke's Gospel, chapter two,
Joseph
and Mary bring Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem. That is where they
meet Simeon.
The holy man had waited patiently for the Lord to grant him a request:
he wanted
to live to see the Messiah, the Savior of the world. But he did not
know who
that person would be, or when and if his prayer would be fulfilled.
The young couple from Nazareth approached him with their baby. He
looked into
the eyes of the Child and felt a burst of joy in his heart. His eyes
glowed. He
lifted Jesus into his arms, then held him up and prayed: "Now, my God,
I can die
in peace. I have seen with my own eyes the world's salvation. You have
prepared
this for all your people."
Mary and Joseph looked at one another. They were silently amazed. Then
the old
man turned to Mary. His eyes became sad as he said softly, "Your own
soul will
be pierced by the sword." Mary did not understand what this meant, and
she
prayed to God for courage. Holy Simeon had received his request from
God. He
remained in joyful thanksgiving as the couple and their baby left.
When Simeon held Jesus in his arms, he knew him to be the Messiah.
What would
happen if I were to recognize the presence of Jesus in my own life
more often?
Saint Quote:
The only consideration of Superiors ought to be the love of God, and
the
sanctification of the souls committed to their care. This cannot be
better
attained than by humility, combined with a peaceable disposition and
good
example.
-St. Vincent de Paul
Bible Quote
And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not
depart
from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which
you have
heard (saith he) by my mouth. For John indeed baptized with water, but
you shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence. (Acts 1:4-5)
