“Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings…whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a barren bush in the desert…that stands in a lava waste…Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord…he is like a tree planted beside the waters, that stretches out its roots to the stream.” Jeremiah 17:5-8. Saint Mary MacKillop said, “Do not let your troubles disturb your trust in God.”

Let us pray, My God, we have learned the hard way, trusting in ourselves to make the way when life is difficult for us and our loved ones. But You are the One who is all trustworthy, You O Lord are our strength, our Rock. Today we give our lives to You. Make of us what You will, for You are all goodness. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
