to do w/ our gifts? Share w/ others. ..those w/ light, let it
shine,,who would put a candle under the bed, ..whole house would catch
on fire, ruin everything..if we try to hide our faith, disaster will
happen..leads us to believe & practice faith in daily life..if grouchy
bad day..cure often is to go & give to others..not sure why it
works..but it does..down ..depressed, do something for others..lesson
to learn every day..b/c I'm a thick-headed..have to re-learn every

" In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia in order to fulfill the
word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD inspired King Cyrus of
Persia to issue this proclamation throughout his kingdom, both by word
of mouth and in writing:"Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia'All the
kingdoms of the earth the LORD, the God of heaven, has given to me and
he has also charged me to build a house of God in Jerusalem.'" Then
the family heads of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levites-
everyone, that is, whom God had inspired to do so- prepared to go up
to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem All their neighbors gave
them help in every way, with silver, gold, goods, and cattle, and with
many precious gifts besides all their free-will offerings.
Responsorial Psalm R. (3) The Lord has done marvels for us When the
LORD brought back the captives o Luke 8.16-18
l Jesus said to the crowd"No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a
vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so
that those who enter may see the light For there is nothing hidden
that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be
known and come to light Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who
has, more will be given and from the one who has not even what he
seems to have will be taken away."
