A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Cod Liver Oil Coercion
When the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26
A woman bought a bottle of cod liver oil to give to her dog so he could have a healthier and shinier coat. Every morning, she pried the dogs jaws open and forced the liquid down his throat. He struggled, but she persisted. He doesnt know whats good for him! she thought. Faithfully, each day she repeated the process.
One day, however, the bottle tipped over and she released her grip on the dog for just a moment to wipe up the mess. The dog sniffed at the fishy liquid and began lapping up what she had spilled. He actually loved the stuff. He had simply objected to being coerced!
Sometimes we use a similar method in telling others about Christ. Called buttonholing, its an intense, in-your-face kind of confrontation. While earnestly desiring to share the gospel, we may end up repelling people instead. In our sincere but overly enthusiastic attempt, we create resistance.
We are called to share the good news, but we are not responsible for someones acceptance or rejection of Christ. Its not our job to try to convict someone of sin. Thats the Holy Spirits responsibility (John 16:8).
As you tell others of Christs sacrifice, be sensitive. Know when to slow down and let God and His Word do the convicting and drawing to Himself.
The Spirits role is to convict
The world of all their sin
So they will seek forgiveness and
Be cleansed and changed within. Sper

Thanks for posting this. Though I am not Catholic, I attended some of Father Vincent’s services he conducted in the field. To say Delta 1/5 was “outnumbered” is an understatement. They collided with an NVA division.

I do not believe that the photo of the young Navy man on the Fr Vincent Capodanno memorial (nicely done) IS Fr Vincent... he was not in the Navy until long after he was a Maryknoll missionary, and then went in as an officer.... I do not know who the young man is, but I am almost positive it is NOT Fr Vincent, as I have been following him for about ten years, and never saw that photo....
God bless!!
