Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send...? And I said, "Here I am, send me."
You ask God to use you as His servant. You want to be a holy person who does the will of God. Then you should also accept a difficult life. In your service you will find obstacles and persecution. You will find people who have there own plans and needs for you. Since Jesus was betrayed, persecuted, scourge and crucified; why would you expect your life as a faithful Christian to be simple and without problems. You must always keep in the forefront of all of your efforts that your ministry is to share the Gospel and to build up the Kingdom of God. Make visible in this life and in this world that which is already a reality in Heaven. There is much to do and the harvest is great, but the laborers are few. God is calling you and me to work for Him. Together and as individuals the time is now to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
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...
