“As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.” James 5:10-11. St. Mary MacKillop said, “If you are disappointed, don’t say harsh things. Only think a little, pray a little, and try to remember that God will bring
about what is best in God’s own time.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we desire to be like You and like the strong and steadfast people among us. Give us the grace that we may be firm, constant, never changing or wavering in our beliefs and commitments. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
