Come Oh Holy Spirit, please fill the hearts of thy faithful, enkindle in us the fire of Your Divine Love, send forth Your Spirit Oh Lord, and it shall be crreated, and You Oh Lord, shall renew the face of the earth.

Blizzard is here!
School and work has been cancelled!
There is almost 2 feet of snow.
The news of car crashes in Calgary yesterday reminded me of our trip to Alberta last 2021.
We kind of met the storm.
Good friends were already warning us not to proceed.
We still did.
Praise God for sparing us from the domino car pile accidents in a major highway nearing Medicine Hat, Alberta.
We left Winnipeg, with nary a snow.
Saskatchewan had snow already in that mid November day.
Again, it was all by God's extra grace and protection that we were spared from any harm and danger.
Praise Him!

Today's reflection question is:
What is your reaction to someone who has betrayed or offended you: anger and judgment, or benefit of the doubt and understanding? Why?
My answer:
Most recently, I met it with a combination of both anger and judgment.
No understanding whatsoever.
Full blown angst and venting and turning back on myself.
*&@3!
I was lied to straight away.
I was fooled made to believe one thing, only for me to realize that I was taken for a ride.
My prayer:
Lord Jesus, I surrender this incident to you Oh Lord.
Nothing I do or say can make this person turn back from her way of lying.
Lord, I pray that this will not be a habit of hers.
Lord, please touch her heart and mind and make her realize that lying is not a good habit and attitude.
Lord Jesus, please spare her from this tendency.
I pray to her guardian angels to always be near her and guide her.
Oh Holy Spirit, I surrender her and this incident to You for your wisdom and guidance.
May the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit be greatly manifest in her life and may I learn to be more calm and understanding, slow to anger and more patient and kind in trying to express my reaction to an offense/betrayal and disappointment.
Mama Mary, please continue to hold our hands in our journey to always see Your Son in everything and to follow Him in all things for all time.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, I trust and place my confidence in Your most Sacred Heart.
