Meditation:

God good and holy, not in the oneness of a single person, but in the Trinity of one substance, we believe Thee, we bless Thee, we adore Thee, we praise thy name for ever and ever, by whom is the salvation of the world, the life of all people, the resurrection of the dead accomplished. Blessed is he that came from heaven that he might dwell on earth, was made Man that he might blot out the sins of the flesh, was made a victim that, through his Passion, He might grant eternal life to those who believe

Preface from the Stowe Missal

EXERCISE FOR SENIORS – WHO NEEDS TO GO WALKING WHEN:

God in his wisdom decreed that seniors become forgetful, so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things – thus doing more walking.

--------------

Then God saw there was another need. In his wisdom he made seniors lose co-ordination, so they would drop things, requiring them to bend, reach and stretch – and God looked down and saw it was good.

---------------

Then God considered the function of the bladder and decided seniors would have additional ‘calls of nature’, requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more effective exercise.

God looked down and saw it was good.

--------------------

So if you find as you age you are getting up and down more, remember it is God’s will. It’s in your best interest even though you may mutter under your breath.
