My father, trying to make light of it for us kids who would rather have watched primetime tv, would oftentimes change the words of the prayers to put some humour into it. Hence in the Hail Mary, instead of saying, "prega per noi peccatori," he would say, "prega per noi pescatori." My mother would get angry at him and we children were quite amused. Only now that I am older can I appreciate the metaphor. They both work depending upon how you look at it.

I know that I must be open to it, but that holiness is a gift from the Lord. I have to plow my ground, break up the lumps of sin, avoidance, laziness, other obstacles that I put in the way of His action. Such a weak woman I am! But I will continue to be open to whatever He wills and continue my struggle to live a true Christian life. As a secular fisher of men, I need to set the example for others. Would appreciate a special prayer today as I am presenting a lesson on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist to the RCIA folks tonight. I have worked hard on it and ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in its execution. You are prayed for daily.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073227797975107162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-3712359810206740502014-01-26T21:03:59.104-05:002014-01-26T21:03:59.104-05:00Beautiful imagery.
