Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
The Church of the living God is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Be angry with her if you must. Argue how she seeks to have you live. Revolt against her ministers in their failures if you choose to do so. These things and so much more have been done to the Church since its beginning of more than 2000 years. The gates of Hell shall not prevail against her. The Church is the undeniable font of truth. While those who serve within her are sinful and broken people it is Christ Jesus as its head and the Holy Spirit its guide through time. There is no other truth and there is no other life outside of Jesus. He is our way although we are convicted in our shortcomings. We seek to remain close to Him, our Lord and Savior. We find him in the Word but even more profoundly we find him in the Bread of Life. We encounter the Christ in the Eucharist. Come let us adore Him. With all our imperfections, come and receive that which is imperishable.
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...
