Gentleness
Gentleness
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A stone tossed into a heap of wool doesn’t rebound, says the proverb. Likewise, an angry remark won’t rebound from a gentle soul who absorbs abuse without retaliation. Experience supports the classic axiom: “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Prv 15:1).

Day 248 – Jesus Predicts the Destruction of Jerusalem
By David Vermont
In today’s reading, Jesus enters Jerusalem. He is greeted as a hero. The crowd wants to declare him a king. In the past, Jesus rejected these overtures and would slip away from the crowd.

Disappointment
Disappointment
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
One frequent cause of disappointment, especially in our prayers of petition, is that God does not give us what we want, but what we need. “Your heavenly Father knows that you have need of these things” (Mt 6:32).
