More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
A very happy Birthday my dear friend Richard!
ReplyDeleteI thank God for bringing you into my life, you terrible cumudgeon you! And now you tell us you're are also over a hundred and ten! That's pre Vatican I even, you could almost be an author of the catechism. You're Council of Trent original!
Friends like me are rare, praise God (Only jokin I'm a hundred and two!) ;)
Well, you don't qualify for a Methuselah. However, I think we might stretch to a Balthazar, O wise one.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday 'n' that.
Richard,
ReplyDeleteHappy 111th Birthday from The Scriptorium; I wish I was joining you for pint!
Cheers,
Michael.

ReplyDeleteAnd I missed this - sorry! I hope you had a fine party, and that J*ck D*n**ls was an honoured guest.
ReplyDeleteI guess you're still a young man - I've been keeping quiet about my birthdays for years.
God bless!
P.S.
