· 16 Nov 2006, Thursday 9 am · Saint Margaret of Scotland, pray for us
I heard the song “Pretending” by Eric Clapton on the radio this morning. It’s about ones heart ache due to another pretending to love in the relationship. O Father, please do not let my love for you, for others, be for pretend. Please help me make it genuine, honest, real, deep, authentic—like your love.

Keep hope alive.
Dare to trust.
Surrender to grace.
··· Reflect love. ···
Gravitate to humility.
Pray always.
All is gift.
