MY GRACE IS ENOUGH FOR YOU..




SCRIPTURE READING:
Because of the abundance of the revelations. Therefore, that I might not become too elated, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being proud.
Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me.But He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses,* in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (2Corinthians 12:7-10)
REFLECTION:

We have to face the fact that we will always have to face worry and anxiety.Yet despite these two thorns in our hearts, Jesus is telling us to set our hearts on His kingdom and on His love.
Yes, each day has enough trouble of its own. Yet each day God will also give us enough grace to live a life of love and to attain peace and joy.His Grace is enough/sufficient for you.
PRAYER:

Loving God, no matter how great the struggle, or how deep the trouble, may I never lose hope in Your saving grace. O Lord my Savior. Amen.

EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION

  O Blessed Host, in golden chalice enclosed for me, That through the vast wilderness of exile I may pass - pure, immaculate, undefiled; Oh, grant that through the power of Your love this might come to be.         O Blessed Host, take up Your dwelling within my soul, O Thou my heart's purest love! With Your brilliance the darkness dispel. Refuse not Your grace to a humble heart.         O Blessed Host, enchantment of all heaven, Though Your beauty be veiled And captured in a crumb of bread, Strong faith tears away that veil. - from the Diary of Saint Sr. Faustina (Kowalska) of the Blessed Sacrament, titled  Divine Mercy In My Soul .

Our church, St. Joseph Church, Makawao celebrated its 100th year of existence last June 26, 2011. This church was built in 1911 by the Portugeese people  that settled in the upcountry area of Maui.

Serenity Prayer

God  grant me the serenity  to accept the things I cannot change;  courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. (Although known most widely in its abbreviated form above, the entire prayer reads as follows...) Living one day at a time;  Enjoying one moment at a time;  Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;  Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;  Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life  and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
