Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

  Every Sunday the Church has a special request found in the Collect for the Mass. This Sunday, "grant, we pray, Almighty God, that, always pondering spiritual things, we may carry out in both word and deed that which is pleasing to you."

Despite the way it is worded, it is a great petition and makes me think of how I am carrying out in both word and action what pleases Jesus. Maybe the secret is that we are to be always pondering spiritual things!

I have been pondering some great thoughts on transfiguration and will start sharing them tomorrow.
