SUNDAY. MARCH 26....The dog requires constant assistance and I can't leave for very long. I left about 7:30 to go to Mass. At Mass, the first reading concerned how the priests and leaders were bad and the Jewish people would go in exile. Then the psalm, how can we sing a song of Zion in a strange land. Then St. Paul's letter to someone, about grace rather than works. Grace produces works, not the other way around. Then the gospel. I think it was about Jesus and Nicodemus. Then the Sermon, about making your Lenten sacrifice beneficial to others, leading to contributing to Development and Peace.

A note about praying, that we should pray with all our power. When a baby cries we take care, because (1) the baby cries with all its being; (2) the baby crys with confidence that it will be heard.
