Today was the feast day of Saint Norbert. I really know nothing about the Saint.  I will educate myself. Saturday I went to a very pleasant funeral. It was the man of prayer’s father. His name was Norbert. The celebration occurred at the Polish Cultural Center in Cleveland off 65th Street just south of St. Stanislaus. The significant other was with me, in perfect attendance and partnership. I am convinced our courting has elevated to a new level. Sunday we enjoyed lunch together. The immensity of my longing and love overwhelms, exposing buried imperfections,  gouging and making a new wounds. It is all a part of healing. God is good and all giving!

Today’s reading

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
