Solemnity
“As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, ‘Peace to you.’ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them, ‘Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have’” (Lk 24-36-39). [1][2]

“God is blessing us” ..as I wrote those words in a post, a memory came to mind. On pilgrimage in Shanghai in 1994, we witnessed the sun, appearing so very brilliant, seem to move around in the sky. A Chinese man, who looked to be in his eighties or even nineties, observed it, too, and asked, excitedly, “What does it mean? A fellow pilgrim, answered, “God is blessing us right now”. The old man, happily, repeated over and over, like a little child, “God is blessing us, God is blessing us. God is blessing us.” It’s been many years since that remarkable event and I’m thankful, and eternally grateful, as I acknowledge, He still is!
Shepherd of my Soul
You are looking for me.
What else would a Shepherd do?
Here I am waiting for You to find me.
All the world can not satisfy a heart made for heaven.
