A Night Prayer

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Quote of the Night

“Mary has the authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven.” St. Louis Marie de Montfort

Today’s Meditation

“When Mary has struck her roots in a soul, she produces there marvels of grace, which she alone can produce, because she alone is the fruitful Virgin who never has had, and never will have, her equal in purity and in fruitfulness.” —St. Louis De Montfort, pg. 15

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition. Reflect

Bible Study: 8:00 AM PDT 08/22/2026

Hello All,

Please join us for Bible study in 21 hours. The notes are below.

Below are your Bible Study notes for 8:00 AM PDT 08/22/2026. These notes are in a slightly different vein. Given the recent challenges with the nature of my health I have decided to spend a session or two or …, talking together with you about death. Interestingly enough I have selected the age of 60 as a beginning point. In 2026 the likelihood of someone born in 1966 being alive today is huge. Additionally at an age less than 60 it would be more profitable to discuss from the perspective of career and raising a family – an entirely different set of parameters.

I am certain when you join us you will quickly detect the trend and I pray for the desire to participate in the conversation. I also will provide a perspective on the burial process that many may find new.

Please join us, our Zoom Link and Study notes are below for this Saturday’s session at 8:00 AM PDT 08/22/2026. I pray you and yours are well.

Please remember that you bless us with your presence, and may the Holy Spirit bring you His comfort and His peace. Join us!!!

Bible Study Notes:

08/22/2026 – Prologue – Have you ever wondered why God has blessed you with a long life? This message will commence to outline seven biblical principles that reveal how God continues to work through older believers. Drawing from Scripture, we will be reminded that growing older is not the end of God’s purpose; but it is an opportunity to deepen our faith, encourage others, and leave a lasting spiritual legacy.

The Bible teaches that every season of life has a divine purpose. Continuing into old age, God calls His people to remain faithful in prayer, share their wisdom, encourage younger generations, trust in His promises, and serve Him with joy. Our elderly years are not wasted, but are part of God’s loving plan. God continues to use those who place their hope in Him. Whether you are 60 plus, retired, caring for elderly loved ones, or simply seeking biblical encouragement, this message offers wisdom for living with purpose, peace, and an unwavering trust in Jesus Christ. We will study how to strengthen your relationship with God, experience His grace daily, and embrace His calling. Do not hide from the question, “Why me, Oh Lord?” He has prepared a life for you. N. B. We are called by God into old age.

Here are seven things that God desires from elderly believers, 1) Why your life still has purpose in God’s plan. 2) Biblical wisdom for those Christians that have attained the age of 60, and beyond. 3) The importance of prayer, faith, and perseverance. 4) Christian teaching on aging with grace and hope. 5) How to encourage your family and future generations through faith. 6) Practical ways to grow closer to Jesus Christ every day. 7) Teachings, Gospel reflections, Divine Mercy messages, and Christian encouragement assist us to age with faith,and grace.

This is a great opportunity for Christian seniors, we will look at: God’s purpose/plan, our purpose after retirement, why one is still alive, Jesus Christ, Holy Bible, Bible study, Gospel message, Gospel reflection, Christian faith, Divine Mercy, prayer, trust in God, faith in Jesus, Christ focused motivation, spiritual growth, Christian encouragement, Christian living, biblical wisdom, aging gracefully, retirement, living as a senior Christians, daily prayer, Bible teaching, hope in Christ, God’s promises, Christian inspiration, Christian salvation, and biblical aging.

Have you ever wondered why God allows many people to live well and into their later years? Is there a spiritual purpose behind old age? We will explore what the Scripture and Gospel reveal about aging, spiritual maturity, and God’s continuing purpose for every believer. The Bible consistently teaches that old age is a blessing, when lived in faith. God often uses older men and women to encourage younger generations, share wisdom, strengthen families, and become living witnesses of His mercy and faithfulness. Viewing aging as the end of usefulness is false teaching. This lesson reminds us that every stage of life is an opportunity to glorify Jesus Christ and grow closer to Him. Throughout Scripture, we see faithful servants such as Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Elizabeth, Simeon, Anna, John and Micah serving God in their later years. Their lives remind us that God’s calling does not end with retirement or advancing age. Instead, He continues to shape His people through prayer, perseverance, humility, and unwavering trust in His promises.

Whether we are over 60, approaching retirement, caring for elderly parents, or seeking biblical encouragement for the later journey of life, this teaching offers hope, wisdom, and practical guidance, rooted in Christian faith and teaching. Discover how God’s grace continues to work powerfully through those who remain faithful to Him. If you are searching for Christian motivation, Gospel reflections, coming to faith after 60, aging with faith, daily prayer, and spiritual growth, this prologue will strengthen your faith and remind you that God still has a plan for your life. 1) Why does the Bible describes old age as a blessing? 2) What is God’s plan/purpose for believers after the age of 60? 3) Who are the Biblical examples of some of the faithful older men and women? 4) How do we grow spiritually during retirement and later life? 5) How does Christian teaching on aging guide us toward grace, hope, and perseverance? 6) Practical ways to serve God and encourage others in your senior years? 7) What are the teachings, Gospel reflections, and Divine Mercy messages that assist us?

As we grow older, our relationship with God often becomes deeper, simpler and more peaceful. In this series we will review biblical wisdom, Christian teaching, spiritual encouragement all crafted to seek what God truly desires from us after the age of 60. We will discover how faith, trust, prayer, forgiveness and hope become much more meaningful in the beautiful stage of life. Remember, we may think that we are fading this message will remind us that God’s love never fades and His purpose for our lives continues unabated – every day! Our working titles will be: 1) God’s love never changes. 2) What God expects from us. 3) Letting go of unnecessary burdens. 4) Living with greater faith after 60. 5) The power of forgiveness. 6) Finding peace in God’s plan. And 7) Encouragement inspired to trust God’s plan everyday., day!

I am indebted that much of what is discussed above was inspired by Fr. Chris Alar, MIC who is a youngish man, under 60, who came to a religious vocation, later in life, after a tour in the secular world.

Love, Hank

Hebrews 1:1-4

(1) God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, (2) has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; (3) who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, (4) having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
New King James Version Change email Bible version

This opening paragraph broaches the core of the entire epistle. The remarkable amount of material here is reminiscent of what is written in John 21:25: “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.”

Names and titles identify people, objects, and even political, religious, or cultural movements within societies. Historical names and titles tend to identify those personalities who lived at the forefront of significant human occurrences of the past. They appear in our histories because people desired to know and understand their activities for their own edification.

God’s early dealings with Abram are an example. In Genesis 11:26, God begins the history of their relationship. Before God speaks directly with Abram, we find that his father’s name was Terah. God also provides us with Abram’s birthplace, Ur of the Chaldees, and his lineage beginning with Shem, son of Noah.

As time passes, God also informs the reader that Abram married Sarai, who was then barren. He leaves the length of time within this first contact unspecified, but God eventually speaks to Abram in Ur and commands him to depart. However, by the time Abram and Sarai leave Ur for Canaan, the elderly Terah seems to have decided to move with them, and he leads the group from Ur to Haran, a city far to the north. In Haran, Terah seemingly abruptly dies at age 205, leaving Abram, Sarai, Lot, and the unnumbered remainder of Abram’s party to continue to Canaan without him.

While Abram and Sarai were in Ur, God never appeared to them. He did no more than speak to them. Not until Genesis 12:7 does the Bible first mention God appearing to him, and by then, they had arrived in Canaan.

Also, at some time after their arrival in Canaan, the term “the Hebrew” is added to Abram’s identity (Genesis 14:13). Perhaps this was done to distinguish him from other Abrams whom God did not want confused with the biblical Abram. Maybe He did it to help future readers make a positive identification. We have always accepted that the term “Hebrew” identified a person as being a descendant of Eber. However, scholars claim that this is not the only usage of the term’s root, saying that “Hebrew” was used anciently to distinguish a person who had “crossed over.” This usage implies an individual with no long-term community roots, a wanderer. A Hebrew, then, was a traveler into an area who had crossed a border, a mountain range, or a river, or even one who changed loyalties into, say, a new religious belief.

The beginning of the epistle to the Hebrews contains a compact form of a similar procedure of identification. God inspired the human author to focus immediately on the central Personality of the entire letter—Jesus Christ—identifying Him by titles and by His associations with a magnificent series of mindboggling accomplishments and bestowed honors. By the time the brief, four-verse opening paragraph is concluded, God has already set a strong foundation for convincing those skeptical about Jesus’ qualifications that, yes, He is qualified to be High Priest under the New Covenant to assist the elect children whom God is calling into His Family.
