Far beyond and a long way removed from the shallowness of some empty, yet deep pocketed individuals, there lies real wealth!
A wealth of faith; a wealth of hope and a wealth of compassionnate love.
As Saint Francis so rightly taught us to pray:
"It is in giving of the best that we have to offer that we receive."
(Please Lord Jesus teach me to give.)
"It is in pardonning that we are pardonned."
(Please Lord Jesus teach me to pardon.)
"It is in dying to our selfishness that we are born to eternal life!"
(Please Lord Jesus teach me to abandon myself to your Will."
Thank you Lord for giving us so much joy and love through our five children and their spouses and our 26 grand children! (All raised in and still following our Catholic faith, that of our ancestors.)
Please Lord Jesus continue to guide our children and grand children. Keep them in your Loving heart within your fold so that none of them ever become drug or sex peddlars.
Those dear cherished God loving lives are the richest harvest that only Your Love could produce in such abundance for us dear Lord Jesus!
Thus, thank you for teaching us that "Love" to be shared is the only true real wealth You deemed fit to endow us with. The only form of unique lasting wealth that can buy us eternal joy!
Please Lord, continue to teach us to respect and follow your teachings as reported by:
Matthew 16: 26 and Mark 8: 36
"What, then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life?"
Thank you Lord Jesus for teaching us through direct experiences that most people who have deep pockets without love and integrity are truly shallow, full of emptiness and teach us to pray for them.
