Word for Friday January 19.

“In those days: Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men . . . there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave . . .  Then David arose and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul’s rob . . . And afterward David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off Sauls skirt. He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed.” 1 Samuel 24:3-7. St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “Be the living expression of God’s kindness – kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” Let us pray, Loving Father, give us the goodness of heart like that of David; sparing the life of the one hunting you down with thousands!! Give us a respect for what is divine, anointed and set apart for You. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
