"Consider Your Ways!"

Note:  still trying to transfer the photo of St. Marcellin High School in Bangladesh to this slice of Bread.
Note also yesterday's slice stated that Jesus gave power to the Twelve to "cure demons."  My Bad!  He gave them authority over them and power to cure diseases.  Thanks to one of our readers for calling this to my attention.

In trying to stir up the people to rebuild the temple, the prophet Haggai passionately urges the people to consider their ways:  The live in paneled houses while the temple remains in ruins.  They eat and are not satisfied, drink, but not exhilarated, dressed, but not warmed, work, and let their wages slip away in a bag full of holes.  How often do we misuse our resources or squander our efforts and energy on useless things. (cf. Hg 1: 6).  Haggai urges US to consider our ways.  And fittingly these days when national attention is focused on the words of Pope Francis,  he too is asking us to consider our ways.
Let's do it.
Bro. Rene
