RELIGION AND ART

THE GOOD SHEPHERD JOHN GOSPEL CHAPTER 10 How shall a youth remain pure on his way ? By observing your word. I have sought you with all my heart; Let me not stray from your commands. I treasure your word in my heart, least I sin against you. Blest are you, O Lord; teach me your   statutes. With my lips have I recounted all the decrees of your mouth. I rejoice in the way of your precepts, as though all riches were mine. I will ponder your precepts, and consider your paths. I take delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.                                                                                                                                         Psalm 119 I give my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one can take them out of my hand.

 FIRST WEEK OF LENT Today is holy to the Lord your God.  Do not be sad, and do not weep; for today is holy to our Lord.  Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength.  Neh. 8:9
