Quote/s – 5 March – The First Saturday of Lent – Isaiah 58:9-14, Mark 6:47-56
“Thus says the Lord God:
If you remove from your midst oppression,
false accusation
and malicious speech.
if you bestow your bread
on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
then light shall rise
for you in the darkness
and the gloom
shall become for you,like midday;
then the Lord will guide you always
and give you plenty,
even on the parched land.
He will renew your strength
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring whose water never fails.”
Isaiah 58:9-11
“… If you hold back your foot
on the Sabbath from following
your own pursuits on My holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lord’s Holy Day honourable;
if you honour it,
by not following your ways,
seeking your own interests,
or speaking with malice –
then you shall delight in the Lord …”
Isaiah 58:13-14
“Take courage; it is I,
do not be afraid.
And He got into the boat with them
and the wind fell.”
Mark 6:50-51

Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.

This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
