"Read this lampstand passage..remember my days in mexico..met for Bible study...at panchita's house...all women..10 to 12 ladies..sitting on the used furniture..after the bible study..I would be the one to unscrew the lighbulb...not that they were so expensive but that she was afraid the kids would leave the lights on...so she used one & took it from room to room...reminder that light is sacred..in this world there is so much darkness...I was at the light a few days ago...music from car disgusting language..like hiking & coming across trash...sometimes I go to weddings & don't like it when non-catholics are there..they talk talk...no sense of sacredness..re andrew kim & paul chong (?)...martyred..many more koreans coming now..some presbyterian..more Christians because of their sacrifice.."
Proverbs 3:27-34 "Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim when it is in your power to do it for him. Say not to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give," when you can give at once. Plot no evil against your neighbor, against one who lives at peace with you. Quarrel not with a man without cause, with one who has done you no harm. Envy not the lawless man and choose none of his ways To the LORD the perverse one is an abomination but with the upright is his friendship. The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked but the dwelling of the just he blesses When dealing with the arrogant, he is stern, but to the humble he shows kindness
The just one shall live on your holy mountain, O Lord. "
Luke 8.16-18 "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."
