Thought for Thursday May 19


Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
This is the way of those whose trust is folly,
the end of those contented with their lot:
Like sheep they are herded into the nether world;
death is their shepherd and the upright rule over them.
Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!


Mark 9: 41 - 50  If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed  than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.


What am I willing to do to avoid sin?  Have I ever given up a hobby, an acquaintance, a job, (or a limb) because it caused me to sin?


Action:  Use your hands today to do some good in the world – dial the phone to talk to someone who is lonely, write a letter, bake some cookies, repair something, pet a dog …
