Prayer for the President
(will be praying heavy the Divine Mercy Chaplet tonight, but I wrote this as my special prayer)
O Lord,
O Jesus,
Heart of Mercy
You who hold the world
in the palm of your hand,
who paid such a price
in agonizing love in the Garden,
in blood as they scourged you
in pain willingly borne at the cross
to show us the way
to live,
to walk,
to care,
Be with your servant George this night,
brighten his eye with the touch of your Spirit,
strengthen his heart with the fire of your love,
fill his mouth
with the words you would have him speak,
and may each word,
action,
gesture
thought
be under your control,
under your watch
under your care.
Keep him safe in your sacred Heart.
Thank you Lord,
Ocean of Divine Mercy,
for giving us a leader who loves you,
who understands the truth of godliness
who cares that his actions, words and deeds
are more than chess pieces
in some power game
to please the ego.
I plead your blood to keep him whole,
your fire to strengthen him,
your love to guide him
this day,
and all the days he walks this earth.
O Blood and Water,
pouring from the heart of Jesus,
I trust in thee.
Have mercy on us all, O Lord,
this day and always.
Amen.

| 42 | But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb and pass over judgment and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone. | sed vae vobis Pharisaeis quia decimatis mentam et rutam et omne holus et praeteritis iudicium et caritatem Dei haec autem oportuit facere et illa non omittere |
| 43 | Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues and salutations in the marketplace. | vae vobis Pharisaeis quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis et salutationes in foro |
| 44 | Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not: and men that walk over are not aware. | vae vobis quia estis ut monumenta quae non parent et homines ambulantes supra nesciunt |
| 45 | And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying these things, thou reproachest us also. | respondens autem quidam ex legis peritis ait illi magister haec dicens etiam nobis contumeliam facis |
| 46 | But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers. | at ille ait et vobis legis peritis vae quia oneratis homines oneribus quae portari non possunt et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas |

Hey!! Sorry about the double post ... I didn't realize you were back over here too. =)
Didn't we agree on your doing the Greek and the Aramaic?
