Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee, Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, Opening to the sun above.

It is the prayer that joins all week, that there is not much point in speaking to people believers into one universal action. We are joined in about the Bread of Heaven when their stomachs are faith and sacrifice with every other believer – those grumbling for the bread of earth. For Jesus there was on earth, those in purgatory, and those in Heaven. none of the Greeks’ separation of the human person into body and spirit, each entity with its different needs. He knew people were created in love, flesh and soul, by His Father in Heaven.

Feast of Saint Martha July 29th “Do you believe this?” That was Jesus’ question to Saint Martha in the Gospel of John. In the aftermath of her brother Lazarus’ death—and before Jesus raised him from the dead—Christ tells her, “I am the resurrection and the life, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” What a promise! Then the crucial question: “Do you believe this?” In her answer Martha speaks the words Saint Peter gets in the other Gospels: “Yes, Lord, I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
