*Sacred Scripture* Esau Sold His Birthright – Stom
This artwork, by M Stom, depicts the famous Old-Testament story of Esau selling his inheritance to his younger brother, Jacob, in exchange for a bowl of pottage.
Gn 25:29-34
29Once, when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished.
30He said to Jacob, “Let me gulp down some of that red stuff;* I am famished.” That is why he was called Edom.
31But Jacob replied, “First sell me your right as firstborn.”* m
32“Look,” said Esau, “I am on the point of dying. What good is the right as firstborn to me?”
33But Jacob said, “Swear to me first!” So he sold Jacob his right as firstborn under oath.n
34Jacob then gave him some bread and the lentil stew; and Esau ate, drank, got up, and went his way. So Esau treated his right as firstborn with disdain.

Saying the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always.
1-A prayer from Raphael the Archangel:
*While you are on this earth, you must praise the Lord God and give him thanks.
2-A prayer from Tobit and Tobias:
*They began to sing hymns of praise, giving thanks for all the mighty deeds God had done while his angel Raphael had been with them.
3-A simple Jesus prayer:
*Lord, Lord, Jesus Christ…Son of God…have mercy on me…Be kind to others…Work Hard…Be joyful.
4-Another prayer:
*When all that God asks of us is to be quiet and keep ourselves at peace-attentive to the secret work He is beginning in our souls-Be Empty and See That I Am God.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
Lk 12:32
