My Companions: Melanie wrote that we pray the following: "May Mike McClanahan come to peace with his medical situation and accept what is next." Continue to pray for Julie McKay (breast cancer--note to last post). My sister, Judi, will have an operation on her hands. Remember all on our lists.

Readings: http://www.usccb.org/nab/081609.shtml
Comments on the Readings: Fr. Foley: “Stop thinking that your life will ever make sense if you fill it with piles of stuff and forget the one thing you need the most: closeness to God and closeness through God to everyone and everything else.”

My Comments: I have experienced great faith with the men at Nativity who joined in a study of Christology. They shared their experience of receiving the Bread of Life and they expect to live forever. We reflected on our lack of wisdom but we enjoyed our journey and prayed to continue to walk in faith.
May the peace of Christ be with each of you.
