ABOUT CONFESSION:  Here is a useful question to help you to examine your conscience.  To consider: Have I engaged in gossip (detraction) or spread scandal? A Prayer:  If I were to say I have not sinned, I would be deceiving no one but myself.  Help me with your grace to examine myself in Your Presence.

The most wasted

of all days

is that on which one

has not laughed.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful,

but heartache crushes the spirit.

     A little girl was eating her breakfast one morning when a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared through the clouds and reflected off the spoon in her cereal bowl.  She immediately put it into her mouth.  With a big smile she exclaimed to her mother, “I just swallowed a spoonful of sunshine!”

      A spoonful of sunshine just may be the best “soul food” that a person can have in a day.  A prominent surgeon once wrote, “Encourage your child to be merry and to laugh aloud.  A good, hearty laugh expands the chest and makes the blood bound merrily along.  A good laugh will sound right through the house.  It will not only do your child good, but will be a benefit to all who hear, and be an important means of driving the blues away from a dwelling.  Merriment is very catching, and spreads in a remarkable manner; few being able to resist the contagion.  A hearty laugh is delightful harmony; indeed it is the best of music.”

     An old poem advises:  If you are on the Gloomy Line, the Worry Train, or the Grouchy Track, get a transfer!  It’s time to climb aboard the Sunshine Train and sit in one of its Cheerful Cars.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF PENTECOST

“As you go, proclaim the good news, the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Loving Savior, send us humble servants who zealously serve the needs of your Maronite Church,

and proclaim your good news by their loving witness. In confidence, we pray that your Kingdom of Love be realized here on Earth!
