From today's Magnificat:
It is always tempting to take credit for the gifts of grace and to lay the blame elsewhere for our faults. If we do not claim responsibility for the choices that are truly ours, neither can we ask for or accept forgiveness. Too heavy for us, our offenses; too heavy not to allow the Lord to wipe them away.
Todays gospel is about the Pharisee and the tax collector in the temple. The humble heart came away justified.
From Hosea: Come, let us return to the Lord, it is he who has rent us, but he will heal us; he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds. He will revive us after 2 days. On the third day he will raise us up. He will come to us like the rain, like sping rain that waters the earth.
The forecast in Oklahoma is for rain all next week. Praise the Lord for blessing the earth! Easter time is coming!
