*Sacred Scripture* The Blind Leading the Blind – Bruegel
Painted by P. Bruegel, this artwork was inspired by the words of Jesus: “Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch?” (Luke 6:39)
Lk 6:39-42
Judging Others.*
39And he told them a parable, “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?a
40No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.b
41Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.

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.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Jn 14:27
