Wednesday of Hope – Ash Wednesday
On this Ash Wednesday, what more can we hope to be than this?
Strive to be uncynical, to be a hope-giving force, to be a steward of substance.

Wednesday of Hope – Building Hope
Song of the Builders
On a summer morning
I sat down
on a hillside
to think about God –a worthy pastime.
Near me, I saw
a single cricket;
it was moving the grains of the hillsidethis way and that way.
How great was its energy,
how humble its effort.
Let us hopeit will always be like this,
each of us going on
in our inexplicable ways
building the universe.~ Mary Oliver ~
(Why I Wake Early)
Sacrament

Wisdom from the Poet
Singing streams
The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.
– Wendell Berry
Nature Reflects God’s Glorious Majesty
Thursday’s Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 145
Generation after generation praises your works
and proclaims your might.
They speak of the splendor of your glorious majesty
and tell of your wondrous works.
