I am off to bed to read some of these stories to Jay and Joy-Beth. Maggie is sewing. Our "Lenten resolution," as a family, is to eat out less. For the first time in years, I shopped for food for the week and, so far, so good. We are gearing up for the girls to be in their plays in April with our homeschooling coop. This is short and sweet, as I am very tired after a big day in the sun. The weather here was heavenly, and we took advantage of it and had lunch and lessons on our back deck. The breeze and sun were refreshing. I read yesterday's Mass readings in my Magnificat, along with Evening Prayers, and was very comforted by the Psalm. It was Psalm 79: 6, 9, 11 and 13:
R. (see 103:10a) Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
Remember not against us the iniquities of the past; may your compassion quickly come to
us, for we are brought very low.R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
Help us, O God our savior, because of the glory of your name; Deliver us and
pardon our sinsfor your name’s sake.R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
Let the prisoners’ sighing come before you; with your great power free
those doomed to death. Then we, your people and the sheep of your pasture, will
give thanks to you forever; through all generations we will declare your
praise.R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
