Month: December 2024

MOURNING

Those on the left are still mourning.

They have lost three elections in a row.

Some are leaving the country.

Some will resist every move the President-Elect makes.

Some will cruise for four years.

They are in denial.

They lost three in a row.

One to Trump, one to Biden, and another to Trump.

Some thought Biden was a victory, but look at

The country’s condition after four years.

No one should call that a victory even though

They relied on dead people to secure it.

These are not stupid people, but people

Guided by their prejudices.

They hate Trump and call him names.

They call the opposition deplorable, Nazis, and garbage.

They call him a dictator and a felon.

They do not pray for him. I pray for them and him.

His agenda is to make America Great again.

We should all dedicate ourselves to helping him.

MEDITATION FOR DECEMBER 8

I think that broken families lead to

a broken country and then watch

the politicians try to solve things by

throwing money around to create magic

that will never come to fruition. 

Money is passed out for doing nothing. 

This takes away incentives to work and grow. 

We do need safety nets but also must reconstruct. 

This takes courage and determination. 

It takes leaders who care for all of the people. 

We cannot ignore shootings and killings

that go on every week, but we defer

to excuses such as, we do not have

enough police and this after defunding

the police and being critical of these

public servants who put their lives on

the line every day, even at a traffic stop. 

We need to rebuild the inner cities,

which will create jobs that pay enough

to support a family.  There are many more

steps and we must pray to the

Man who bore the cross for help. 

There is a purpose for our condition and

we need His help in to understand it

and what we must do. Today is the feast of

The Immaculate Conception and with the

President-elect celebrating the opening of

The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, we

Are all reminded of the need to pray, not

Only for our country, but for all the world,

Especially those who are hungry and thirsty,

And need shelter. Forgive us if we fail to

Respond to these needs.

MY MEDITATION FOR DEC 3

Dear Father

Help us rebuild our lives,

Our sacred places, our city,

Our relationships, our institutions.

There is much to do.

Let us be secure in emptying ourselves

For others so that we may be filled up

Again with more love and desire to give.

Help us stay close to you today.

God bless our country, our leaders,

And our citizens.  Amen

Yes, yes, yes, she cried

She will be my bride

Wishing that those vulgar ones would die

MY MEDITATION FOR DECEMBER 1

Beautiful beginnings of a new day,

New week, and new month.

We are blessed to be in this country.

We have much to do for others.

It is easy to forget when we are

Wrapped up in ourselves.

I ask my Father, Shepherd-Brother

And the Holy Spirit to be with us

As we move through this month. 

Thy will be done.

Give us strength, and endurance.

And what we do accomplish —

May it be pleasing to everyone involved.

Amen.
