Dear Diary,
This morning’s Gospel reading was about when Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They gave different answers—John the Baptist, Elijah, or another prophet. Then He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Sister Mary Claire told me this is the most important question of all, because each of us must answer it for ourselves. Peter said, “You are the Christ of God.”
Jesus then told them He would suffer, be rejected, and killed, but rise on the third day. Sister explained that even though the cross was heavy, it was His way of showing perfect love for us, and that Easter morning is always promised after Good Friday. I tried to keep that in my heart as we walked home together.
This afternoon I finished typing up the little booklet called Farm Blessings. It was a very old mimeographed copy from the convent at Hawarden, Iowa, which closed long ago. Now it is neat and ready for the shelf, and I have made it number 8 on my library list. I hope the neighbors will like borrowing it from the Little Lending Library at the end of the driveway.
Evening Prayer
Dear Jesus,
I believe You are the Christ of God.
Help me to follow You with a brave heart, even when the way is hard.
Bless our home, our farm, and everyone who passes by the library box.
Amen.
Love,
Kathy
