Just a few
thoughts

Ooops! Yesterday I overlooked that we celebrated/contemplated
The Chair of Peter.

“Peter’s call to be shepherds of the flock is
not just for those involved in pastoral or clerical hierarchies. It is good
advice for any leader to be aware of any tendencies to be dictatorial. Rather
than demanding people follow their rules and whims, good leaders (in any
setting) ‘show’, rather than tell.”

For Pope Francis, bishop of Rome and universal
pastor, that he will stay strong in spirit and ever true to the Gospel of
mercy. Let us pray to the Lord. -- Prayers

ü When we pray the
Our Father we are not praying to him, but with him;
we are praying his prayer. We are so close to him that we do not see him! We
are (so to speak) inside his mind looking out through his eyes and seeing, like
him, only the Father.

“God is always more than
what we can think or imagine.
We want a God who will take care of us. But God is saying
“No, I’ll take care of you by being for you and by being for
you I will liberate you. I will be with you as you create, as you imagine, as
you join together, as you resist, as you create new structures, as you
cyborgize, as you trust in the future that is yours and mine together.” --
