Praying before the Holy Eucharist in the Tabernacle last night--concerned about the events of the past few months, this Scripture was given to read. Know this---God's Word is truth and He will have the final say ---on Judgement Day.
Sirach 27--
22 Someone with a sly wink is plotting mischief, no one can dissuade him from it.
23 Honey-tongued to your face, he is lost in admiration at your words; but behind your back he has other things to say, and turns your words into a stumbling-block.
24 I have found many things to hate, but nothing as much as him, and the Lord hates him too.
25 Whoever throws a stone in the air, throws it on to his own head; a treacherous blow cuts both ways.
26 The man who digs a pit falls into it, whoever sets a snare will be caught by it.
27 On anyone who does evil, evil will recoil, without his knowing where it comes from.
28 Sarcasm and abuse are the mark of the arrogant, but vengeance lies in wait like a lion for such a one.
29 The trap will close on all who rejoice in the downfall of the devout, and pain will eat them up before they die.
30 Resentment and anger, these are foul things too, and a sinner is a master at them both.
*Please share this post to all who see the evil, or, to those who are behind the changes in our justice system and make sure that the ones who need their eyes opened--- read it. God and only God will be the JUDGE on Judgement day. All that is done in the dark will come under His LIGHT and exposed for all to see.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
