The Blood that Jesus shed for me,

Way back on Calvary;

The Blood that gives me strength

From day to day...

Will never lose its power.

It reaches to the highest mountain.

It flows to the lowest valley.

The Blood that gives me strength

From day to day...

It will never lose its power.

Meditation for the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (C) ~ God vs Money

... and despise the other...

Meditation on the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)

This week features the parable of The Prodigal Son.  We know that wonderful story of mercy; but concentrate, instead, on the disgruntled older son in this painting.  It's not difficult to place ourselves in his shoes.  This older son has worked hard for his father and has done all that his father required of him.  He feels his father is treating him unfairly.

"... when your son returns, who has swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf," complained the older son.

The father said: "My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours."

"Everything I have is yours" - our Heavenly Father reminds us... We need to remember that too.

Luke 15:1-32

Gospel Song for the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,

Keep your lamps trimmed and burning,

The time is drawing nigh.

Children, don't get weary,

Children, don't get weary,

Children, don't get weary,

'Til your work is done.

Christian journey soon be over,

Christian journey soon be over,

Christian journey soon be over,

The time is drawing nigh.

Here there is not Greek and Jew,

Circumcision and uncircumcision,

barbarian, Scythian, slave, free;

but Christ is all and in all.
