Gospel: On #AshWednesday Jesus asks us to do our good deeds quietly (Mt 6). There is always the human temptation to say, "Look what a good thing I did!" And to seek praise and affirmation. But as Henri Nouwen said, your good deeds can be "hidden from the world but known by God."

Gospel: "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," Jesus says today (Mt 5). This may be his hardest commandment. Yet it's so necessary. Freeing yourself from hating your enemies is a gift to them and to you. Why burden your own heart with so much hatred?...
People often say, "Well, it's unrealistic." But Jesus lived in the real world and had many enemies, from almost the beginning of his ministry. Even when he's on the Cross, people come to taunt him. But Jesus never repays evil for evil, and his heart is never consumed with hate.
It's easy to find hate in the world. And it's easy to get drawn into it. But it always leads to a dark place interiorly. Try your best to follow the example Jesus gave us: the way of love, mercy and compassion for everyone, even for those who don't treat you in that way.

Who's awake?
Since sleep is not coming, can we start praying?
Prayer One: Prayer of Thanksgiving
Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of life. May your name be praised forever.

{Sing songs of Thanksgiving : You are Alpha and Omega, we worship you our God, you are worthy to be praised.}

#Prayer
Prayer Two: Prayer of forgiveness

Lord Jesus, we come before your throne of grace, forgive all our iniquities, cleanse us by your blood.

Give us grace to live an holy life and direct our part to righteousness.

Prayer...

lets see what we can find about "LGBT United" #Faceboowashingtonpost.com/news/the-switc…taUjXfKjAa
my best guess is that this was the url for the page facebook.com/lgbtun/
1. because that page is now gone and 2. because of the broken English here webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…
