Fr. John Corapi

I can't sleep. I'm going to be tired in the morning, but there is nothing I can do about it.

I watched Father John Corapi a little earlier this evening on TV and he spoke about having a conscience. He said if a person doesn't use their conscience it is the same as letting a body part weaken. The more it weakens, the less you can use it. Letting one bad thing into your life weakens the conscience and soon other wrongs don't seem so bad. Finally the conscience is so weakened that wrongs seem normal and right.

Thanks Father Corapi for shooting straight with your listeners. You don't tell them what they want to hear, but what you know they should hear.

Father Corapi is going to be in Buffalo, NY August 15. I would have love to hear him speak in person but have already scheduled other plans. I'll just keep watching on the TV.

For those of you who are having trouble sleeping, an evening prayer.

O eternal God and Ruler of all creation, You have allowed me to reach this hour. Forgive the sins I have committed this day by word, deed or thought. Purify me, O Lord, from every spiritual and physical stain. Grant that I may rise from this sleep to glorify You by my deeds throughout my entire lifetime, and that I be victorious over every spiritual and physical enemy. Deliver me, O Lord, from all vain thoughts and from evil desires, for yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen. (By Saint Macarius)
