They are as timely now as they were when he wrote them 200 years ago. “Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbour. Love enough to move you to be useful to others. Faith enough to make the real things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.” Goethe showed wisdom in these thoughts, perhaps especially in the use of the word “enough.” Often we seek something more, when contentment could come with gratitude for having enough. There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. – 1 Timothy 6:6-7 “Grace me with contentment, Jesus, for after all I do have everything in You.” — By Fr. John Catoir You will succeed in Jesus Name! Also

I was peacefully seated, waiting for the prayer meeting to start when this frenzied lady appeared before me. “Uh…gee…,” I stammered, “I don’t know. What will you do to me if I say yes?” “Oh my gosh! You are him!” she cried aloud. She started jumping up and down, her hands shaking. “Ma’am, whatever you’re accusing me of, I didn’t do it!” “Brother Bo, I’m Liza, and ever since I read KERYGMA, I’ve always dreamt of seeing you face-to-face… and here you are! Oh my goodness…” her breath caught in her throat, “I think I’m going to die!” “No please, don’t! Not here! They’ll think I did it.” “Brother Bo, can I just touch you?” “What?!” “Just one slight tiny touch,” she pleaded, “perhaps your holiness will rub off on me…” Her trembling forefinger was now poised aloft, ready to touch me on my right shoulder. Believe me, I had never felt so creepy in my entire life. Suddenly, I felt like an ancient relic being venerated. I stood up abruptly. “I’m afraid that’s not possible, Liza.”

God is Lord Almighty, Omnipotent King, Lion of Judah, Rock of Ages, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Provider, Protector, Paternal, Leader, Ruling Lord and Reigning King… God is Lord Almighty, Omnipotent King, Lion of Judah, Rock of Ages, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Provider, Protector, Paternal, Leader, Ruling Lord and Reigning King Of all the universe. He is Father, He is Helper, He is Guardian, and He is God.

He always was, He always is, and always will be… unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone. He was bruised and brought healing. He was pierced and eased pain.

Herod couldn’t kill Him, the Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him, people couldn’t hold Him, Nero couldn’t crush Him, Hitler couldn’t silence Him, the New Age can’t replace Him, and the world can’t explain Him away! He is Light, Love,
