Father Mike Schmitz

Who has ascended to heaven and come down?

Who has gathered the wind in his fists?

Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?

Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is his name and what is his son's name?

Surely you know.

Every word of God proves true.

He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Another day.

Thank you, Lord, for another day, for this next step, for the letter of James, for the conclusion of St.

Paul's letter to the Philippians.

We thank you, God.

We ask you to please help us to put these into practice.

Help us to put this instruction into action in our lives.

Help us to be not only hearers of the word, but also doers of your word.

Lord God, let this time we've spent listening to your word, not simply wash over us and we just forget it and are unchanged by it, but help us to put this into practice, to put the love in our hearts into action in our lives and help us to do all of this in the name of Jesus and for the glory of God, the Father.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Well, praise God.

Oh my gosh.
