Dear Family and Friends,

This is an eye opener; probably we never thought about it nor looked at this Psalm in this way, even though we say it over and over again.

 

THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD-----------That’s Relationship!

I SHALL NOT WANT--------------That’s Supply!

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES--------That’s Rest!

HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATER-------------That’s Refreshment!

HE RESTOREST MY SOUL-----------That’s Healing!

HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS--------That’s Guidance!

FOR HIS NAME SAKE-------------That’s Purpose!

YEA THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH---That’s Testing!

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL--------That’s Protection!

FOR THOU ART WITH ME--------That’s Faithfulness!

THY ROD AND THY STAFF COMFORT ME------------That’s Discipline!

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES------That’s Hope!

THOU ANNOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL - That’s Consecration!

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER – That’s Abundance!

SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE – That’s Blessing!

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD – That’s Security!

FOREVER – That’s Eternity!

 

CHOOSE LIFE – “Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. “Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women.” Feminists for Life, Refuse to Choose 

VOCATIONS – “May the intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church and Mediatrix, create in the hearts and minds of young men and women in our diocese an openness to serve Christ and his Church as priests, and women and men religious.”
