...Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate the comment.<br /><br />The blog isn't my daily discipline. My meditation is. The blog was a way of keeping myself accountable to my daily meditation. But writing the meditation out is different from actually doing it.<br /><br />Every day I do my daily meditation and I share it at Mass during my homily. But what I have found difficult is to take the time to put it on the blog. But I have also been blessed with many wonderful and gifted writers who have made it their discipline to do a daily meditation. Some of theirs are posted here.Fr.

Many of us have been reading your blog since you started and its so nice to hear what the Holy Spirit inspires you, as a priest, to share with your readers. It's our daily homily! Your guest bloggers are good but isn't this supposed to be your daily discipline? I know you are busy...�� I love and appreciate you for all that you do and know you are in my prayers. ��Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-1345131893022191322014-08-29T21:14:24.480-05:002014-08-29T21:14:24.480-05:00I feel like this opens another can of worms. How d...I feel like this opens another can of worms. How does one define sacrifice? The parent wanting peace and quiet might think they sacrifice plenty by putting food on the table and a roof over their kid's head. I think there's an argument to be made about true sacrifice and false "sacrifice." Yes, risking your life is sacrifice; no, simply parceling out the income you would have earned anyway doesn't really constitute a real sacrifice. Something of oneself, something from within, not just possessions, has to given up to show true love. <br /><br />While this still doesn't satisfy the demands of understanding true love, we can come a little closer to our goal. After some pondering, it's a little disheartening to know that we really don't appreciate those who love us, and we give way too much consideration to those mean souls who make life more difficult for everyone.Benedict Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274188116075677081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-65188504305940394312014-08-29T19:56:44.619-05:002014-08-29T19:56:44.619-05:00Thank you for the homily, Fr.

When I asked my 5th grader tonight at the dinner table, she told us about the parents sacrifice but my 1st grader told us about the trap at the store (the candies at the check out isle..:))<br />So we used the sacrifice to remind them about sacrifice that the whole family has to make in order for them to go to All Saints!Olivia T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-57055306796220400112014-08-29T18:56:45.465-05:002014-08-29T18:56:45.465-05:00It was a great mass!
