please please please pray for my Papa, he's 85 and something happened with his hernia or his stomach. The ambulance is on its way to his house and my daddy is going over there, but we don't know much right now. Please keep us in your thoughts. His name is Ralph, please pray for him.
Even if you aren't religious, please say a Hail Mary or Our Father for us. Thank you.
I'll update with more news

A million times
Tumblr media
The Lord’s Prayer. The Our Father. Whatever you call it, we’ve all said it a million times.
Not that we shouldn’t. It’s worth saying a million times. And more. It’s that good (considering the source, that’s no surprise).
But even with a prayer as good as the Lord’s Prayer, there’s a danger when you and I say a prayer a million times. Our brains go on autopilot. And the words slide out of our mouths without us really noticing them.
That’s why I’m glad that today’s Gospel doesn’t stop with the text of the Our Father.
It gives us one more verse. Where Jesus explains one of the parts of the Lord’s Prayer that we miss when our brains are on autopilot – “forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Jesus is pretty clear, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”
God’s love is unconditional. There’s nothing that we have to do – nothing we can do – to earn it. Because God’s love is freely given.
But God’s forgiveness? It absolutely is conditional. We have to earn it.
The thing is, God doesn’t want us to do anything for Him to earn that forgiveness.
God’s not looking for us to be perfect or sinless in order to deserve His forgiveness.
What God wants us to do to earn His forgiveness? Forgive other people who have wronged us. 
If I am truly a Christian. If I am serious about being God’s, about being forgiven, then I do not have the luxury of carrying a grudge.
I can’t hold onto my hatred or resentment for someone else who has hurt me. No matter how deserved it might be. No matter what they did to earn it. No matter how right I think I am.
My favorite “but-you-don’t-know-what-they-did-to-me” claim? Is met with God’s perfect knowledge of exactly what they did. And God’s perfect knowledge of the impact it is having on me.
Knowing that, God is telling me that holding on to that wrong is interfering with my own salvation, my own forgiveness.
Not because God is petty or keeping score or using it to manipulate us.
But because holding onto that wrong will in the end come between us and God. And God loves you too much to ignore anything that would come between you and Him.
And yet, all of us struggle with forgiveness.
Which is a strong clue that our feelings and ideas about forgiveness are probably out of sync with reality, with what God is actually calling us do. More on this tomorrow.

Proposal for Reconstructed English
The thesis at the heart of this proposed reconstruction process is as follows: The English language, in its earliest recognizably attested form, that is Old English, or Anglo-Saxon, is a full and capable language, able to adequately and generally express the experience, internal and external, of its speakers and writers. It is fit for new life in the contemporary world. In the evolution of English, the language has lost much of its original lexicon and grammar. This is to be restored to it, according to its earliest attested meaning and usage. Orthography is to be formed according to what standards are discernible in Middle and Early Modern English, in order to increase legibility to contemporary speakers. Certain native letters (þ and ð) are to be avoided for this reason, but their usage may be preferential. Syntax is to be formed along the lines of original usage, but may be adjusted for legibility. Phonology will be largely untouched, as the vast chasm of English phonological diversity is now as frustrating to descriptive efforts as it has ever been in the past. This is not a second attempt at what has heretofore been called “Anglish”, which is in general a lexical swap-out project intent on the removal of Latin-derived words from the vocabulary of Modern English. In Reconstructed English, Latin derived words which appear in the language pre-1066 will remain firmly in the lexicon. Where native Old English alternatives exist for latinate words, the native will be preferred. Where this occurs with other Germanic languages (almost solely Old Norse), both the native and non-native will be equally retained. Primary lexical and orthographical preference is to be given to Old English and Middle English, with reference preceding thereafter to Old Norse and German.
Primary influential texts include: Beowulf, the Exeter Book, The Anglo-Saxon Gospels, The Ormulum, Chaucer, and the Wycliffe Bible.
Example Text of Reconstructed English:
Our Fader, thou the eart in héavenum Thín Name béa yhalwed, Thín Rích become, Thín Will béa yworden, so on éarthen as in héavene. Yíve us today ouren daylían bréad, And foryív us oure gyltes, as we foryíveth ourem gyltendum. And ney ylæd us into costnungum, Ack aleís us from evile. Amen.
Example paradigms, noun, verb, and adjective:
Héaven - m. heaven, sky. From OE heofon. Sing., Pl. N. héaven, héavnes A. héaven, héavnes G. héavenes, héavena D. héavene, héavenum
Halwen - to hallow, make holy. present, past 1. ic halwe, halwed 2. thou halwest, halwedest 3. he halweth, halwed plr. halwíeth, halweden part. halwend, yhalwed sub. halwe, halwed halwen, halweden imp. halwe halwíeth inf. halwen halwene

Pater Noster (John Paul II - 1982)
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

A heart like God’s
Tumblr media
The Lord’s Prayer. The Our Father.
If you want to know how to pray, this is literally Jesus’ answer to that very question.
So it’s no surprise that we pray it. All. The Time.
The only problem with that? When we pray something that much, it can get smooth. Like a river stone. Worn smooth by millions of gallons of water a day, over countless years.
Until there are no rough spots. Nothing to catch on.
Until the deeper meanings, the hard parts, pass by without notice.
Which why the end of today’s Gospel is so important.
After teaching us how to pray, Jesus makes clear one of the most important principles in the Lord’s Prayer. One we often miss in our worn-smooth praying.
“If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”
The thing is, the principle that Jesus is teaching isn’t limited just forgiveness. This is a principle for all of life. Here’s what I mean,
God wants us to be like Him, to have a heart like His. A heart that overflows in compassion for others.
It makes sense if we stop and think about it.
We can’t have hearts like God. If there’s no room in our hearts for anyone but us.
A few weeks ago, the daily Mass readings were from Genesis. They included Cain’s murder of Abel, and Cain’s question to God – “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The rest of the Bible? Especially the Gospels? It’s God’s long form answer to Cain’s question.
I’ll just give it away right now. Cain was wrong.
In our hearts, we know this. It’s why the spectacle of someone who talks loudly about their Faith but who harms others with their actions and their words is so grating, so jarring.
It’s so off the mark that even nonbelievers know it’s wrong.
Because we’re not called to be people who take care of ourselves. And no one else.
That’s not who God made us to be.
God made us to be like Him, to have a heart like His. A heart that overflows in compassion for others.
But the only way that works is if we live out who God made us to be.
Which is why we can’t expect to receive God’s blessings, if we’re not giving our blessings.
