    About the Author & The St. Frederick Association

    Foreword

    Proverbs 3:5-6Trust Yhwh with all your heart, and don’t rely on your own understanding; acknowledge God in everything you do, and God will direct your paths.

    The scripture quotes herein have been taken from The Inclusive Bible, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2007; 4501 Forbes Blvd., Ste.200, Lanham, Md 20706; http://www.rowmanlittlefield.com This bible, see above verse of Proverbs, uses the Jewish reference to God, Yhwh, not to be pronounced, but meaning Jahweh or Yahweh or God the self existing. This gesture of Christian translators is most kind.

    Our Theme comes from the Catholic Mass in which we are reminded, "count us among those You have chosen…" Always be determined to stay in the State of Grace through the Sacraments (Communioning with Jesus, or the Doorways to Jesus) for it is Jesus Christ who knocks on the door of our hearts and minds in hopes we will open ourselves to Him and Divine Providence. Remember, there is no doorknob on His side. When you hear Him knocking it is your decision to open up the door to invite Him in. His purpose is to safely lead us to His Father in the peace and presence of the Holy Spirit and the great welcoming in heaven into the Church Triumphant. When Jesus calls (Matthew 25: 3) or comes again hopefully He will claim us as one of His own. "…enter My Kingdom My good and faithful servant, enter into My joy!" (Matthew 12: 21) Let us pray then that He finds us walking in Him and with Him and trusting in the Holy Spirit… which is Wisdom, the ultimate and never-ending gift of the Holy Trinity.

    Here are some scriptural guideposts to help you along the Way…(suggested minimum daily requirement: 1 scripture search!): Genesis 6; 32; Numbers 21:5; 1 Kings 2; Isaiah 46:10; 64:7; 12: 29-30; Ecc.7:20; Proverbs 6; 12:27; 16:9; 14:29; 24:18; 29:8; 30:6; 30:33; Numbers 21:5; Psalm 111:10; Jeremiah 9:23; Matthew 12:28; 18:11; 26:39; Luke 7:21; 10: 21; 11:52; 14:27; John 1:12-13; 2:27; 3:1-3, 9; 3:16, 21; 5:21; 6: 20, 54; 63-68; 7:17; 9:31; 15:16; 44-47; Romans 1:15; 2:12-13; 7:15, 25; 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:4; 2: 10; Hebrews 9:15; 11:1; Phillipians 3:10; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 13:10; 15:29-30; 2 Corinthians 3:2-3; 1 Timothy 11:17-20; 5:13; 2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 3:15; 4:2-3; 4:7; 2 Peter 2:12; 2 John 6; Galatians 4:19; 5:7; Titus 2:12; James 1:5, 26; Acts 3:15; Revelation 17:5; 18:1….

    Please keep a Daily Journal. You will cherish for it years to come; and those who come after you will thank you. Make a special note of a scripture that especially intrigues you or may have caused you to pause. There is a cause to that pause!

    Introduction

    This compendium is offered by a Catholic deacon 35 years in the ministry but forced to retire because of health. We state this since the Wisdom word is often used by today’s New Age and Gnostic adherents. We say that with respect, since, after all, God
