Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus
We must have an attitude of gratitude always. The ingratfull is the enemy of good. He sows discord and places others in doubt of there own benefits. When one is grateful and shares their gratitude with others they shine like a beacon of hope in the world. There is truth in the expression: "things could be worse." We are called to see beyond the immediate and recognize that all of our experiences form us into a vessel of wisdom and knowledge through our experiences both good and bad. Even Jesus was tested so why shouldn't we be tested. Just as He turned to the Father we turn to Christ Jesus and give thanks for all that we endure. "Stay solber and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling like a lion looking for someone to devour. " Be grateful for everything and pray for the necessary graces to navigate through so that your experiences will be a blessing for someone else.
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...
