You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see. Because you have the L ORD for your refuge  and have made the Most High your stronghold, No evil shall befall you,  no affliction come near your tent. For he commands his angels with regard to you,  to guard you wherever you go. With their hands they shall support you,  lest you strike your foot against a stone. You can tread upon the asp and the viper,  trample the lion and the dragon. Psalm 91:8-13.

  AUGUST   August --We may come to appreciate more deeply the various landforms (mountains, deserts, rock formations, valleys, and plains) during vacation time. They give us bearing, direction, and the geological history of our lives. This is the beginning of awareness of the "here" in our lives. The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord shows us the "hereness" of the risen Lord, and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary speaks of God's power to the blessed. While we can choose to extend the Savior's redeeming power to our wounded earth, we also can choose to withdraw from this awesome challenge.  Overview of August [1]   August is often considered the transitional month in our seasonal calendar. It is the time of the year we begin to wind-down from our summer travels and vacations and prepare for Autumn — back to school, fall festivals, harvest time, etc. The Church in her holy wisdom has provided a cycle of events in its liturgical year which allow

Saints, Feast, Family - Traditions passed down with Cooking, Crafting, & Caring  - July 28 Saint of the day: Saints Nazario and Celso Martiri Claire’s Corner- Don’t be full of yourself ·           Let Freedom Ring  Day 22 Freedom from Narcissism   o     In Greek mythology, we find the rather tragic figure of Narcissus. As the story goes, he is an extraordinary young man in every possible way. But, he is aloof and rather full of himself. Anyone who falls in love with him pays a steep price because he will not love them back. Eventually, while hunting, Narcissus stoops down to the water to get a drink.

In psychology, narcissism is described as "selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and a need for admiration, as characterizing a personality type."
