Tribulation Times
POPE BENEDICT XVI: "Many people in our own day, complain of a lack of time, because the rhythm of daily life has become so frenetic for everyone. Yet even on this subject, the Church has 'good news' to bring. God gives us His time. We always have little time. For the Lord, especially, we do not know how, or sometimes do not want to, find it. And yet God has time for us. ... He gives us His time, because He entered history with His word and His works of salvation, opening it to eternity and making it a history of alliance.
REFLECTION VIA Fr. Loloy (Chinapost.com): There Was a Time
There was a time
when there was no time,
When darkness reigned as king,
When a formless void
was all that there was
in the nothingness of eternity,
When it was night.
But over the void
and over the night, Love watched.
There was a time when time began.
It began when Love spoke.
Time began for light and life,
for splendor and grandeur.
Time began for seas and mountains,
for flowers and birds.
Time began for the valleys to ring with the songs of life,
and for the wilderness to echo with the wailing of wind
and howling of animals.
And over the earth, Love watched.
Finally, there came a time
when Love spoke again.
A Word from eternity— a Word
Spoken to a girl who belonged
to a people not known by the world
Spoken to a girl who belonged to a family not known by her people
To a girl named Mary.
And all creation waited in hushed silence for the girl's answer.
And Mary spoke her yes.
And Love watched over Mary.
And so there came a time
when Love breathed again
When Love breathed new life
into Mary's yes.
And a new day dawned for the World
A day when light
returned to darkness,
when life returned to dispel death
And so a day came when Love became man—a mother bore a child.
And Love watched over Love—a Father watched His Son.
And, lastly, there came a time when you and I became a part of time.
Now is the time that you and I wait.
Now we wait to celebrate what the world waited for.
And as we wait to celebrate what was at one time, we become a part of that time; A time when a new dawn and a new dream and a new creation began for man.
And as a part of time, Love waits and Love watches over us.
A HAPPY TIME FOR ALL!

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 12- "On lying"
4. I have seen some who, priding themselves on their skill in lying, and exciting laughter by their jests and twaddle, have pitiably destroyed in their hearers the habit of mourning.Prayer request? Send an email to: PrayerRequest3@aol.com
