WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.

Posted by on . No comments.

Today begins the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, during which Christians of all denominations pray to erase the boundaries that separate them. It began as a Catholic observance, but more and more denominations joined their voices to the prayers, until today it has become a celebration of the rainbow spectrum of Christian sects with utterly incompatible theologies. Depending on how we look at the matter, therefore, we might describe the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity as a stunning success or as a public acknowledgment of abject failure.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS FOR CATS.

Every day I come closer to understanding the secret of opposable thumbs.

That the spot on the wall has not moved since this morning is attributable to my unflagging vigilance.

A withering stare opens all doors.

Success in all endeavors is just a nap away.

Bipeds who sneeze and sniffle when I approach are showing their sincere appreciation, and deserve my undivided attention.

My troubles will all vanish if I sleep sincerely enough.

It is necessary at all times to demonstrate mastery over the plant kingdom, especially when it invades the house.

Weather belongs to me, and unsatisfactory meteorological conditions can only be attributed to the stupidity or malice of the bipeds.

My abstract work in upholstered-fabric media will be appreciated for generations to come.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS FOR DOGS.

Supper is just around the corner.

If it fits in the mouth, it’s food.

Yes, I can eat the whole thing.

They are making that roast for me.

I am one with the hamburger wrapper.

Gravity is on my side.

I can will that plate to the floor through the power of intense staring.

I am sincere, and food always comes to the dog who is sincere.

My desire for it makes me worthy of the pork chop.

Any moment now, the trash will be left unguarded.
