The newsletter is almost done... whew....it came out really good I think. Hopefully it will go to the printer tomorrow. Thanks be to God and thanks be to Barb who has been helping me get this one out!
Tomorrow with a litle bit of grace we'll be able to start working on the radio site. Would be nice if we could get it online by Friday. And of course can't forget the card site.. it needs a ton of work as well.. Oh hum diddly dum - somehow or tother - it'll all get done.
Blessings of Peace and All Good,
Sister Patricia and all the Sisters

Ten Minute Mediation
Sister Patricia Proctor, SC
Spokane, Washington
Practice the gift of inward silence. Take ten minutes to sit quietly
not praying
not thinking
just listening
and absorbing
life about you.
Prayer when time is completed:
Jesus,
how much of life
is going about me
that I never seem to notice.
Thank you for
filling my world
with so much.
Amen.

Rejoice in Me
by Msgr. David E. Rosage
The Harvest is Rich
Psalm 107:35-37
He changed the desert into pools of water,
waterless land into water springs.
And there he settled the hungry,
and they built a city to dwell in.
They sowed fields and planted vineyards,
and they obtained a fruitful yield.
We look forwrd year after year to a bountiful harvest. We enjoy the fruit of the field, the yield of the vines, the nourishing vegetables of the garden.
All too seldom do we thank the Lord for the climatic conditions which produced the harvest, for the people who planted and nurtured the crops, for the people who transported and prepared it for us.
Jesus reminds us of the spiritual harvesting "The harvest is rich but the workers are few; therefore ask the harvest-master to send workers to his harvest." (Lk 10:2)

Daily Readings

Sep 3 Wed: Gregory the Great, pp, r, dr M
From today's readings:
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.... Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be His own.... At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place....”
Milk instead of solid food
While the heart of the Gospel is truly simple enough that it can (and should!) be taught even to little children, at the same time, it is so profound that not even the wisest or holiest man alive would dare claim that he has sounded its depths. This is, in fact, part of the universal appeal of undiluted Christianity - there’s always more to bite into, enough to feed a lifetime of spiritual hunger whet with a sharply rational appetite!
So obviously, the fullness of Christian dogma cannot be conveyed in one serving. Paul bluntly remarks to the Corinthians that he’s had to feed them only the doctrinal milk of beginners since they have not yet advanced past the infant stage of their faith. Note that Paul does not “water-down” doctrine to accommodate it to beginners; instead, he feeds them with the milk of Christianity, the rich, nutritive, concentrated kernel of faith formula, but he does insist that there is more than just that, for in time, all disciples should advance to solid food.
Too many today are satisfied with simple milk, or, worse still, watered-down portions of the fullness of Christian faith. While physical fasting can indeed feed the soul, there’s never a good reason to impoverish our religious regimen with spiritual fasting, malnutrition, or a diet limited to baby food!
