Beloved: Where jealously

and selfish ambition exist,

there is disorder….

James 3:16

Chaos and disease are

companions of disorder.

These are not the gifts we

seek, yet each of us has

probably experienced their

detrimental power in our

lives. In your prayer today,

take a long, honest look at

your enemies of peace. What

kind of chaos exists in your

life that you would like to

replace with the gifts that

wisdom brings?

Wisdom comes from above,

James says. It is peaceable

and gentle—filled with

mercy and all sorts of good

fruits. What are the good

fruits that wisdom brings?

Wars within and without do

not come from wisdom. The

conflicts among us and

within us often come from

making wrong choices.

Perhaps if we would

prayerfully listen to our

conflicts, trying to discern

what they need, we would

know how to pray and what

to ask for in our prayer.

O Prince of Peace, may all

wars and conflicts cease!

Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr,

O.S.B. Living Faith, Terence

“You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot

obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you

do not ask. You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly,

to spend it on your passions.” James 4:2-3

St. James warns each one of us against the dangers of materialism. In

fighting the materialism in our culture, I must ask myself not only,

“What do I own?” But more importantly, “What owns me?” What is

the one thing I possess that I could not live without? This is what

owns me.

Have you remembered St. Joseph in your will?

Marriage Moment

“Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come

from” (James 4:1) Couples fight about many different things–

money, whose job it is to clean up, the kids… Identify your top

gripe of today and decide to let it go. Is one day of peace too hard?

Parenting Pointer

The 4th Monday of September is national Eat Dinner Together

Day. Maybe you always (or mostly) eat dinner together. Good. If

so, talk about something like favorites (food, dessert, toys,

vacation…) If not, eat together today or as often as possible this

week.
