Lord God,
you called the virgin,
blessed Kateri Tekakwitha,
to shine among
the Indian people
as an example of
innocence of life.
Through her intercession,
may all people
of every tribe,
tongue, and nation,
having been gathered
into your Church,
proclaim your greatness
in one song of praise.
We ask this through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Day 9: God is Near
When Kateri came to the great day of meeting God - she went as easily as a puff of smoke
rises into the wind. Now her heart could soar and dive and glide as the raven sailing into
the summer sun. No longer held
back by the bonds of earth her power to help and aid those who call upon her has never been
greater. Her great love of God now spreads itself in doing good to those in need. Kateri
is still with us. Her presence like the heat of the sun, can be felt even if not seen. With
warm heart and smiling eyes - she will welcome our prayers.
Prayer
O Blessed Kateri,
now you know such joy
that Heaven alone can contain it.
Open our hearts to be free
and open to this day
and each day given to us.
Help us in our weaknesses
our fears, and our trials
to trust and trust and trust
in the goodness
and kindness of God.
Amen.

Quote for the Day:
It is not I who wanted prayer.
It is he who wanted it.
It is not I who have looked for him.
It is he who has looked for me first.
My seeking him would have been in vain if before all time he had not sought me.
Carlo Carretto

Sunday was nice and lazy. At least for me - my get up and go never showed up and I just didn't care. Perhaps its from all the smoke in the air - its been a fire filled, smoky few days. Thirteen homes were lost in the area and about 1200 acres. One of those windy periods and someone had a fire in a fire pit that got out of control.
Today was our last day with Father John Vaughn, OFM....it's been a wonderful few days. We had dinner on the patio before the day got to hot. Luckily we have our main meal at noon so we can do this more often!
My mom gets her cast this Wednesday. Hope it goes well. Here is a picture I took on Saturday when I went for a visit. Took her for a wheelchair excursion around the outside. Was really nice on Saturday because it was much cooler and one didn't mind being outside.
Well, don't know what the week will hold.. but it promises to be interesting I think.
Blessings of Peace and Joy!
