| Prayer for Serenity |
| 2010-01-20 21:27:00 |
God Grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship ad the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, the sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Dear God most high, hear and bless
Thy beasts and singing birds:

Small things that have no words.

| Prayer for Students |
| 2009-12-17 20:42:00 |
God of Light and Truth,
thank you for giving me
a mind that can know
and a heart that can love.
Help me to keep learning every day of my life,
for all knowledge leads to you.
Let me be aware of your presence
in all things and at all times.
Encourage me when work is difficult
and when I am tempted to give up;
encourage me when my brain seems slow
and the way forward is difficult.
Grant me the grace to put my mind to use
exploring the world you have created,
confident that in you there a wisdom
that is real.
Amen.
...

| The Rich Man & Lazarus |
| 2009-12-02 10:55:00 |
Luke 16:19-31 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’ "But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetim...

| The Lost Sheep |
| 2009-11-12 11:40:00 |
The parable of the lost sheep was told by Jesus when the Pharisees criticized Him for socializing with sinners. Through this story of compassion, Jesus revealed his rescue mission for sinners.“Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent’” (Luke 15:3-7).The parable begins with a straying ...

| The Parable of a Sower |
| 2009-11-12 11:29:00 |
Luke 8:4-15 When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable. "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed,some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot,and the birds of the sky devoured it. other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away,because it had no moisture. Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times."As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and...

| The Lost Coin |
| 2009-11-12 11:25:00 |
The parable of the lost coin clearly indicates God’s true attitude towards sinners."Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:8-10).In the illustration, the sinner is likened to a valuable coin which has been lost. The woman does not take a lax attitude towards her lost possession. No. First she lights a lamp, necessarily expending oil, so that she can see clearly. Next, instead of simply glancing here and there, she uses a broom or some utensil to s...

| The Good Samaritan |
| 2009-11-12 11:19:00 |
Luke 10:30-37 Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I wil...

| The Prodigal Son |
| 2009-11-12 11:06:00 |
The Parable of the Prodigal Son – The TextJesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them."Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything."When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will ...

| “Allegory of the Pencil” |
| 2009-11-12 10:54:00 |
• A pencil maker once told the pencil 5 lessons:1. In everything you do, you will always leave a mark. You will always be remembered especially if you have done good things to others. “Failure leaves a lesson and winning leaves us a mark”. Everything you do gives you a lesson to remember in this wheel of life.2. You can always correct the mistakes you make. Everyone is capable of committing a mistake. So don’t be afraid of corrections. It will change you for the better. Just use the best eraser and continue to write again. After all, no ones perfect.3. What is important is what is inside. Being beautiful physically is worthless if you do not have the heart. Good personality from within is far greater than physical appearance. Like a pencil it is better to use those with quality rat...
