Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
In accord with Scripture, Christ did not please Himself.
What is the pursuit of your life? This is really the big question and one that may very well take a lifetime to answer. We can start with lioking at the fundamental statement from Jesus in that He said that He is the way, truth, and life. Then we look at how He lived His life and if we truly care about knowing and perhaps even ataining happiness in our own life then we ought to mimic how Jesus lived. Then we must recognize that He gave everything of Himself and took nothing for Himself. Considering that He is God and that God is the absolute of Truth then we have something here to aspire to. Every selfish action on our part draws us away from that Truth and towards the father of lies, the Devil. We must always align ourselves in such a way that even in our sinfulness we never fall so far away from God that we don't recognize our sin and haste to reconcile ourselves to God through our Savior Jesus Christ.
God bless you all and remember that God loves you and so do I.
"Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:15-20
Gathering in Christ's name is submitting to his will. We don't invoke the name of God for selfish purposes, this is taking the Lord’s name in vain. What do you really want? Do you truly want more stuff or is it peace. The peace that comes from knowing and living in harmony with the God of the Universe.
Ask for wisdom, courage, humility, love and it will be given to you. These and other virtues are freely offered knowing that they will bring you closer in relationship with Jesus.
Gather and be yoked with believers. Bind yourself to the truth. Seek the Kingdom of God first. This is the path to eternal life and the adventure of today. Do not be afraid.
God bless you all and remember that God loves you and so do I. Memento Mori

Good morning my Brothers and Sisters. Today's reflection
"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
Trusting is not something easily done. Especially for men who seek control or women who have been abused. Today's society has many who struggle with depression and anxiety because in part there is a feeling of hopelessness and fear that the weight of the world is carried by them alone.
When we enter into relationship with Jesus we receive a promise that never fails. A promise that is eternal coming from the source of all love and goodness.
Today is the day to let go of your fear and trust in the Father's plan for your life. Run towards Jesus and never leave his side. Allow the Blessed Mother to comfort you In her embrace. Learn from the Saints who walked this same pilgrimage in life and faced all the fears and doubts...
