Honor your mother and father. . . and mother-in-law
David Jacobs 

My uncle was diagnosed with a very aggressive and deadly form of spinal cancer years ago. When he was first told about it, we were all hopeful that he could beat it. As time progressed, we soon realized that the disease was stronger than we feared. He attempted to protect his family from seeing him waste away in a way that I think anyone can understand: he tried to push them away, telling them he didn't want to see them anymore. Of course, we never left his side, and the last months of his life were some of the most valuable memories that I have of him, even in his weakened condition.

Ruth's mother-in-law, Naomi, has dealt with one tragedy after another. Her sons and husband have all died, leaving her a widow, with only two daughter-in-laws, Orpah and Ruth. The two girls come back to see how Naomi is doing, and Naomi, like my uncle, tries to push them away. Ruth will not listen to Naomi. She will not even let go. She knows that Naomi needs her now more than ever, and that they both need God more than before.

Prayer 

Abba Father, I shall listen to your commandments. Remind me to honor my mother and father, and if I marry, my spouse's mother and father as well. Help me, O Lord, to heal those who are grieving, knowing when to be close to them and to give them space. Be ever-present in my life and theirs, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Amen.

A Young Witness

Frances Taylor 

Paul is giving Timothy both encouragement and instruction. Timothy is obviously young, but he has been chosen to preach. He is told, however, to be a good example of Christianity. Paul knows that the people will be watching him. He is also told to study as well as to encourage and to teach. We have been called to be disciples because of our Baptism. We too must be good examples of the Christianity we proclaim. It doesn't matter if we are young or old, we are expected to imitate Christ in our way of life, in how we show love to one another and by our moral choices. We are also expected to grow in our knowledge of the faith by reading the Scriptures, and to encourage others to be faithful and to teach others by word and example. We should never stop learning! I'm constantly amazed by how much I have forgotten of what I have read. And I am also surprised that a passage I have read many times before now has a different meaning to me. That's because ...

Morning Prayer 

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

Inspiration 

Pride is one of the so called 'seven deadly sins', and with good reason. Arrogance in ones own importance over others is vain, and angers God. There is nothing that may rival Gods heights and power, and yet, he shows no arrogance. No nation, no group, no person is 'number one'. With true faith and love in ones heart, all are equal in the eyes of our Lord.

Prayer 

Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love for all of us. I know you have made me in your image, so allow me not to choose falsely and fall into arrogance or vanity, but rather seek humility in all I do and may accomplish with your guidance. For all I have and all I will ever do, I know is so only because it is granted by you. O Heavenly Father, hallowed by your name. Amen.

Night Prayer 18-9-2025

Night Prayer 

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Inspiration 

Often, we speak before we have to opportunity to think about our words. In the heat of the moment, we immediately express negative feelings without analyzing the situation first. We jump to conclusions when directing meetings and speak in haste with our children before evaluating all sides. As leaders in any setting, we must be tactful and make decisions by weighing all details. Instead of expressing emotions with our authority, we must seek to mediate justly and reflect the mercy of God with our decision-making.

Prayer 

Dear Lord, Please forgive us when we jump to conclusions and fail to lead with mercy and grace. Guide us to reflect Your character when You place us in a position of authority. In Jesus' name, Amen.
