You write so beautifully. The reminders of the fullness of God, and His peace within our often weary hearts, is exactly what I needed tonight. I shall rest there.

Thank you.

Perfectly exquisite, and yes that longing ever springs forth from the goodness of God calling us to Him. The beauty that elicits tears.

Oh, my gosh! Beautiful, Chris!

May the Holy Ghost continue to inspire you, Our Lord to lead you, Our Holy Mother to pray for you, St. Joseph to protect and provide for you, and Our Father to love you.

Mr. Jackson, Thank you for this exceptional reminder of Truth. It is not found in committees, listening sessions, or dialogue, but in every Word that comes from the mouth of God. I pray I may be faithful until the end, placing ALL of my trust in Jesus, ALL of the time. Not some of it. Not part of the time, nor even most of the time. ALL of it, ALL of the time.

De profundis ad te clamavi Domine; Domine exaudi orationem meam. Amen.

Definitely not something that "Cardinal" Soup-Eech or Ess-Jay James Martin would approve for publishing in the parish newsletter...but certainly pleasing to The Good Lord and the minds and souls of your readers.

Can’t think of one priest in decades who can unpack today’s Scripture as you have just done. Truly amazing

Outstanding! Your writing is a ray of sunshine and hope in a world of dark, overcast skies. God bless you.
