Triple R

No, that's not a reference to the "Spin and Marty" series on the original "Mickey Mouse Club. :) It stands,
in this instance, for "Reading, Relaxing, Reflecting." Actually, the order I put the words in doesn't matter all that much.
At some time every day, usually around one in the afternoon, I pause, and take time to go over the Bible readings from that day's Mass. I have coffee (not regular coffee, but one of the International Coffees; Suisse Mocha or Vienna Chocolate Cafe, or French Vanilla) or hot chocolate,
or what Bridget on "Another World" used to call "A nice cuppa tea" (regular, herbal, or jasmine).

I may or may not also have a light snack; perhaps a piece of fruit, a slice of
cake, a few cookies, or just a simple slice of bread and margarine, or jam, or cream cheese. Some breads, such as raisin bread or 12 grain bread, can be eaten plain.
I use two Bibles; the Ignatius Holy Bible, RSV Catholic Edition, for the readings, and the Catholic Women's Devotional Bible, for the devotions (if there are any). The reason I don't use the Catholic Women's Devotional Bible for the readings is that it uses the NRSV, which I don't care for very much.
I read, I sip, I nibble, I ponder, and I pray. Not formal prayers, not at this time. Just a loving talk with Jesus. Just a nice, quiet
break in my day.

Today's Bible Verse

'Your sins are forgiven'
or to say 'Rise and walk'?

Today's Bible Verse

Today I've chosen the response from the Responsorial Psalm, because it fits my Twitter account picture so well. :)
O Lord, your mercy is before my eyes.
