Pentecost when tongues of fire came upon the heads of the followers of Jesus as they were praying.
It is the promise that is for all believers that prayer can produce joy.
There once was a saint so good that the angels came from heaven to see how a man could be so godly. His day could be summoned up by two words-he gave, he forgave- words expressed in his smile, his kindness and his charity.
Surely the angels said he should be given the gift of miracles.
Would you like the touch of your hand to heal the sick he was asked. No I would rather God do that.
Would you like to convert sinful souls and bring back wandering hearts to the right path he was asked.
No that is the angel’s mission.
After many questions he said his only wish was that he would continue to do good without knowing it. the angel’s decided that as he walked along a path and his shadow fell on others it would have the power to cure disease, soothe pain and comfort sorrow. Many followed him not speaking and even forgot his name and simply called him the Holy Shadow
“A truly humble man does not know he is humble. Yes. . . humility must be a part of a person’s subconscious.” Elie Wiesel
A rabbi asked when is the exact moment when night ends and day begins. None of his students had the right answer.
It is when a stranger approaches and we think he is our brother answered the rabbi.
People are born that they may learn how to live a good life=like being loving and caring. but some who already now how to do that sometimes their lives are very short. This is where the phrase comes from the good die young.
I ask myself what kind of shadow I am casting. Is my faith strong enough to overcome my fears and am I able to be a witness to the saving power of the spirit of Jesus to restore and renew my heart and soul each day. Dad and are off to church. Haiti has had her walk and said hello to Rocky!
