First, they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)
I asked I asked for strength that I might achieve; God made me weak that I might obey.
I asked for health that I might do great things; I was given grace that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men; I was given weakness that I might feel the need for God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I received nothing that I asked for; My prayer was answered.
~A prayer by a Confederate Soldier~
Supposedly, this prayer was recovered from his
body in Devil's Den after the battle of Gettysburg.

YOUTH - Prepare for What Lies Ahead: Deacon Katie Gerber - Before departing from this world, Jesus spent several hours on the night before his death talking with his disciples in an effort to prepare them for what lies ahead of them. Formally, this conversation is called “The Farewell Discourse.” I prefer calling this encounter a pre-crucifixion pep-talk with the 12.
