Thought for the Day – 14 November – Thursday of the Thirty Second week in Ordinary Time, Year C, Gospel: Luke 17:20–25
” … For behold,
the kingdom of God,
is in the midst of you.”Luke 17:21
My Lord and my God!
St John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
“I am slow to master the great Truth, that Christ is, as it were, walking among us and, by His Hand, or eye, or voice bidding me to follow Him.
I do not understand, that His call, is a thing which takes place now.
I think it took place in the Apostles’ days but I do not believe in it, I do not look out for it in my own case.
I have not eyes to see the Lord – far different from the beloved Apostle, who knew Christ, even when the rest of the disciples knew Him not! When He stood on the shore after His Resurrection and bade them cast the net into the sea, “that disciple whom Jesus loved, said unto Peter, ‘It is the Lord!'” …O my God, Thou does over-abound in mercy!
To live by faith is my necessity, from my present state of being and from my sin but Thou has pronounced a blessing on it.
Thou has said, that I am more blessed if I believe in Thee, than if I saw Thee –
My Lord and my God!”

Ana, this comment is not for publication, it is a technical question. When I signed-up for WordPress, I accidently got 2 websites. ( which is a bother to keep both updated), question is: can you tell me if you received the post I just posted ( subject: Bethlehem), which came from website A ? I am trying to see if I can post from just one site, to find-out if all subscribers from both sites see it.

Hi there (sorry, I still don’t know your first name) the answer is NO – I did not get your message from website A. Strange.

Oh no ! I sent you a reply a few days ago, right after you asked my name. It’s David, by the way. Thanks for answering, now I know I will have to post from both my sites.
