I just got word that Blake Allard, the younger son of Jana Allard who comments here often, broke his arm. He will be seeing a surgeon at noon (California time) and will have surgery late this afternoon. His right arm is broken in two places for sure, maybe three. He is in a lot of pain. Please pray that he gets into surgery today and that there is no nerve damage.
“You haven’t heard a positive thing out of that [Republican] campaign in a month. All they do is try to run me down,” Obama said while campaigning Wednesday in Union, Missouri.

When Jesus came close to his death, he no longer could experience God’s presence. He cried out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:47). Still in love he held on to the truth that God was with him and said: “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46).
The loneliness of the cross led Jesus to the resurrection. As we grow older we are often invited by Jesus to follow him into this loneliness, the loneliness in which God is too close to be experienced by our limited hearts and minds. When this happens, let us pray for the grace to surrender our spirits to God as Jesus did.
