FROM TODAY'S HOMILY AT ST. BASIL'S CHURCH IN TORONTO,CANADA...
WHAT IF GOD WROTE IN TONIGHT'S SKY..."I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD"...USING THE STARS TO DOT HIS I'S AND THE COMETS TO CROSS HIS T'S...
WHAT WOULD PEOPLE SAY...
"OH,IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN...I WOULD HAVE LIVED LIFE DIFFERENTLY...
CHURCHES WOULD BE PACKED,WARS WOULD END...
UNTIL SOME SCIENTIST SAID...OH,IT WAS JUST A FREAK OF NATURE...A PHENOMENON..
AND THEN...WELL...BACK TO LIFE AS USUAL...THE LIFE OF DARKNESS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peace be with you, Bryn! From the Homily was really great, and I believe that is exactly what a lot of people would do. Scientism is the enemy on that front. Esp. when they try to explain away God's miracles. How do they think they got here in the first place???
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest story and the sweetest display of love toward Cams that you all can express. They do get old, and like me, you have to put them out to pasture just to wile away their days as they please. Now, I am not out to pasture yet, but I do things that slap me hard up the side of my head saying "you ARE in that stage of your life. Things are beginning to change." I do I accept them? Just yesterday I was running all over Los Angeles having fun as a girl that weas 20-something ... seems like I dreamed it. It was so long ago.
I have digressed - send pics of Cams when you bring him to his new home!
Blessings,
Abbey
