We did not get a Scripture of the Week last week from my professor, but we did this week! Here is the passage he quoted for me this week:
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." 1 Peter 5:6
Such a great passage for the first week of Lent! A time of penance and offering up something in unity with the Sacrifice of our Lord. Doing penance is a humbling act, even doing a corporal act of mercy can be a humble act if done in the right frame of mind. We do penance, not for show - not to impress others, but to help convert ourselves into saints so that one day He may lift us up to be with Him in eternity.

2) Posts more than 4 weeks old are set to automatically save new comments for moderation - so your comment may not show up immediately if you're responding to an older post.
3) The "Spam Filter" is on - and randomly messages get caught in that filter. I have no control over which messages get caught in the spam filter and those that do must wait for me to mark them as "not spam." A message caught by the spam filter may show up for a moment, making you think it posted, and then disappear. Do not assume I have deleted your comment, it's probably just the spam filter and it will show up.
