The words of St Paul provide me with what I felt yesterday. The remembered words of "prayers" inspire me to pray. To pray in my innermost being with the certain knowledge that my praying is well appoved by my saviour in the eternal Trinity. My own words, as now, may seem confused and incoherent but my soul is known, as are the hairs on my head, and accepted into heaven to join  with the Saints in everlasting prayer and holiness. This is my hope.

A striving towards holiness is always acceptable to God. Hope will not be in vain except...........Jesus warns us that the Father even in his mercy can lock the "narrow gate"against us who misuse our human freedom and there is always the possibility of seeing the joys of eternity but not receiving them. Thus we must clearly understand that our placement in humanity, in the Church or Society, is always to be questioned and meditated on for "the last will be first and the first will be last".

Dear Lord help our rich and our leaders to think carefully about where they stand in relation to You. Let me too not be overcome by my own weak words and always know that all good comes from you.
