The Book of Sirach Ch Nine v- 11 and 12

11 Do not envy the wicked for you do not know when their day will come. 12 Do not delight in the pleasures of the ungodly; remember, they will not die unpunished.

When we look at the world, we see the flash and flair of everything in excess forgetting about the needy as we are intentionally turned towards the sinful. Too much too soon too little too late. When we find our way to live in excess, we hope for death sooner than later unintentionally maybe but death will come for this excess sooner than later because it will cause death by this excess we consume. We all want to be the star of the show. Front and center movies tv theatre sports players the owner of the business that is the monopoly of any widget humanity craves. We want it all and we want it when we want it. Some are born into it; wealth from excess. Some gambled with their soul and took the Devil’s delights. This pact with Satan seems harmless for the lost are willing to give it all a way to have the excess that Satan promises that satisfies the selfishness of the world. My song today reflects this lost delight of the ungodly the liars of the world where Life Eternal is rejected by the swinging journeys of Satan’s tale. Amen.

Wicked Punishment

In the dark, where shadows creep,

A tale unfolds of secrets deep,

Where wicked hearts lay in disguise,

But truth shall pierce their web of lies.

Oh, heed my words, oh weary soul,

Death awaits the wicked, takes its toll,

Delight not in a life of deceit,

For ungodly ways, no Salvation to meet.

Beneath the moon's cold, haunting gaze,

The wicked weave their wicked ways,

But justice, like a sword of light,

Shall pierce through the darkness of the night.

Oh, heed my words, oh weary soul,

Death awaits the wicked, takes its toll,

Delight not in a life of deceit,

For ungodly ways, no Salvation to meet.

For every mask that hides the truth,

Shall crumble, fall, and be uncouth,

No refuge shall the wicked find,

In the depths of their twisted mind.

The hourglass of life, it turns,

For every soul, the fire burns,

But those who choose the righteous path,

Shall find solace in eternal aftermath.

Oh, heed my words, oh weary soul,

Death awaits the wicked, takes its toll,

Delight not in a life of deceit,

For ungodly ways, no Salvation to meet.

So let us seek the truth, my friend,

In love and kindness, let us mend,

For in the end, it's not too late,

To choose the path that leads to Christ’s fate. Amen

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for a little boy named David Alexander. Praise God thank You Jesus. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Death is their punishment prepared**

Wicked envy not any spot

Know not day theirs uncared

Ungodly pleasures delight not

Death is their punishment prepared
