Truth

Today's Readings:
1 Thes 4:13-18
Ps 96:1, 3-5, 11-13
Lk 4:16-30

Jesus tells some hard truths to the people of his home village and they are not too appreciative of his trying to help. How often does the same happen to us? We get angry when we are corrected or have been the recipient of that anger when we have had to correct others? We can be like the people in the Gospel and let rage take over, or we can listen and try to allow the truth to prevail so that we may continue to grow in holiness. Today, whether we are correcting others or being corrected, let us allow Christ, who is truth, to fill our hearts and guide our actions. Have a great day and God Bless
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the way, the life, and the truth; help us to allow you to guide us this day so that we may respond to every situation in a manner pleasing to you. We ask this through your holy name. Amen.


Saint of the Day - St. Aidan of Lindisfarne
Aidan of Lindisfarne, born in Ireland, may have studied under St. Senan before becoming a monk at Iona. At the request of King Oswald of Northumbria, Aidan went to Lindisfarne as bishop and was known throughout the kingdom for his knowledge of the Bible, his learning, his eloquent preaching, his holiness, his distaste for pomp, his kindness to the poor, and the miracles attributed to him. He founded a monastery at Lindisfarne that became known as the English Iona and was a center of learning and missionary activity for all of northern England. He died in 651 at the royal castle at Bamburgh.
