Psalm 51:12 A clean heart create in me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit.

TSMSS: Shine




Yesterday during the homily at Daily Mass, Father said something that really made sense.  I don't remember word-for-word what he said, but it went something like this:  Being a Christian doesn't mean our lives are perfect.  It means having the faith we need to get through whatever adversities come our way.
That really hit home.  It seems like at the height of Lent, when I felt my faith getting stronger, our family went through something that tore my heart apart.  I can't imagine how much worse it would've been if I didn't have my faith to fall on during that time.

Life is tough.
I don't know how those without Christ make it.

I hear ya. I've been going through something pretty difficult in the last week and prayer and the faith I have in the one I'm praying for are all that really matters!

DCB is one of my favorite bands ever. So sad they are going there separate ways after this year. : ( Their music has helped carry me thru some stuff!

Hope everything is okay now...take care!

Great song, and I hope the situation with your family has improved. Sometimes stuff HAPPENS, but you're right - your faith will help you through. What a blessing.

I love how we have the same readings, but get totally different homilies. Some people imistakenly think that believing in Christ earns them a one-way ticket on Easy Street. But you only need to look at the Blessed Mother to know that is not so. Thanks for sharing. Love the song, too, BTW.
