This is an strangely powerful song by Johnny Cash. "Sooner or Later, God Will Cut You Down" is not an upbeat song, theologically, but it is haunting. This song means even more, given the fact that Cash fought his addictions with his faith in Christ. You can hear the age and the pain in his voice as he sings from personal experience.
So many of us go on for so long thinking we can go it on our own. Sooner or later...it will catch up to us. God is there to save us.

Getting in Touch with your (Catholic) Inner Child
Having grown up in the '60's and '70's as I did, I was deprived of many a Catholic cultural experience. In all my 12 years of Catholic schooling, I only experienced a May Crowning once, that I remember.Today, I decided to get in touch with my inner Catholic child. So, I bought some (fake) roses on wire stems and made a crown of flowers for our Immaculate Heart of Mary statue. I don't have a current picture for you, but the picture on the right is a black and white of the statue itself that ds took. Just imagine the crown of pink roses on it.

St. Joseph the Worker
Today is the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. I can't help but think of our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II on this day because of his role in the toppling of communism during his tenure as pope and his support of the Solidarity Movement in Poland.St. Joseph, the worker, Pray for us!
Servant of God, Pope John Paul II,
Pray for us!
