Anyone who has had dementia visit a family member recognizes all too well what is happening with Resident Peters. As we prepare to enter into Lent, I will treat him far better than he is treating me and people like me, by praying for him.

I started praying for those in positions of power or authority some months ago. I just ask God to exercise his justice.

I like that way of framing it.

Then you have a very kind and forgiving heart. I can't print what I'd like to see happen to him.

Oh, Trilby, believe me, my cynical, hardened heart has different desires, but if I proclaim to believe in a merciful and loving G-d made flesh in the person of Jesus who hung on a cross, I have to will myself to forgive those who have "trespassed against me" as I know I have trespassed against others. It's a work in progress.

Our Priest at Mass yesterday asked us to put aside politics and pray for our President and for those around him. It was very moving and a reminder of the power of prayer.

Apparently. at the National Prayer Breakfast. Andrea Boccelli sung ava Maria. and Biden cried. Old age is the time for making hearts right. I do pray that once the powers that be allow him to retire that he will have a repentant heart.
