OMG! I have my first Mass this Sunday, 2/17/13, in which I read from the Book of Deuteronomy 26:4-10 & Romans 10:8-13…wish me luck! Though I trust in the Holy Spirit, my constant companion, to carry me through… :-)

Thus says the LORD:
Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have put my spirit;
he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
not crying out, not shouting,
not making his voice heard in the street.
a bruised reed he shall not break,
and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
until he establishes justice on the earth;
the coastlands will wait for his teaching.

I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice,
I have grasped you by the hand;
I formed you, and set you
as a covenant of the people,
a light for the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to bring out prisoners from confinement,
and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

Somehow attending evening Mass & Eucharistic Adoration places the troubles of the day at bay and infuses my soul with indescribable peace & love for God and others! Thank you Lord for always giving me just what I need, when I need it… Amen! :)
