My family could use a few prayers if you will – today, my husband is laying his Mother to rest; I can’t be there, as I am recovering from surgery and I hate leaving him to face this on his own. On my side, one of my sweet Aunts passed away yesterday; I won’t be able to travel to be with that part of my family, either, but I’m doing my best to keep them covered in prayer.
Some would say that prayer doesn’t always involve words. The Benedictine motto is ‘ora et labora’: ‘pray and work’. A popular mis-rendering of this, adopted by the Masons, is ‘laborare est orare’: ‘to work is to pray’. Perhaps working to help those in need is the highest form of prayer.

Poor little kittens, but so lucky to have loving parents to comfort them. (Does Mrs. Snow have a name?)

Snow is wise. There’s never a bad time to pray.

Can we get some laws passed, buy electric vehicles, and other things that actually help? Please?
