That God is always present and watching, even when we feel alone or when our superiors are absent. This truth is illustrated through the story of a young salesman who, when questioned about giving good measure in his master's absence, declared, "My master is always in." The core lesson is that our actions are always observed by God, who is the ultimate authority. The message concludes by applying this to our lives, reminding us that we are never truly alone in our endeavors, as God's presence is constant.

Good morning everyone. A very cordial welcome to Moments of Melody, five minutes of pearls and parables to help you begin your day. The young salesman in full charge of dry goods store for a few hours during his owners or his boss's absence was approached by a customer and was about to purchase some cloth. The customer said, You'll give me good measure today, seeing your master's not in. The young man looking up to heaven replied, My master is always in. It was alone that he was strong, willing, and of me.
I only bring the bitter love, a deepest woe for me. I only bore the rugged throne on Calvary's dark and dear. The Savior came to know the Father Alone, yes, all alone, the Savior guide for me. Alone, yes, all alone, from sin he sets me free. Without a hope, this world must come in sin and shame. The Savior came to the Father's will.
Here are a few verses from the sacred scriptures to help you begin your day. We're reading from the translation of Monsignor Ronald Knox. This translation has the imprimatur of Francis Cardinal Spellman, the Gospel according to St. John chapter one. One of the two who had heard what Jesus said and followed him was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. He first of all found his brother Simon and told him, We have discovered the Messiah, which means the Christ, and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked to him closely and said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonah. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which means the same as Peter. He was to remove into Galilee the next day, and now he found Philip.
And to him Jesus said, follow me." Then Philip came from the said as a home of Andrew and Peter. And Philip found the fast Thaniel and told him, We have discovered who it was Moses wrote of in his law, and the prophets too. It is Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth. When Nathanael asked him, Can anything that is good come from Nazareth, Philip said, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him and said to him, Here comes one who belongs to the true Israel. There is no falsehood in him. How dost thou know me, Nathaniel asked. Jesus answered him, I saw thee when thou wast under the fig tree before Philip called thee.
Then Nathaniel answered him, Thou master art the son of God. Thou art the king of Israel. Jesus answered, What? Believe? Believe because I told thee that I saw the end of the fig tree? Thou shalt see greater things than that. He said to him, Believe me when I tell you this, you will see heaven opening and the angels of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.
