Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
I resolved, while I was with you, to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
What do you see when you look upon the crucified Christ? What message does it convey to you and how should you interpret it? Have you seen the Crucifix so frequently that its impact has lost its message? We gaze and meditate upon a tortured dead body. An execution of a man convicted for speaking truth. The result of peacefully moving the hearts of many. Yes this and so very much more. Do you see the outpouring of love and sacrifice? Do you see the triumph over sin and hopelessness? Can you hear our Lord speak to your soul and say; "I do this so that you will never fear." The Crucifix speaks to our eternal soul and shouts that we may live a life of grace and holiness. Jesus in His humanity gave up His body so that we forever will be saved and reconciled to Himself. Come before the Crucifix in humility and adoration. See the love of your Lord sacrificed for you. Repent and confess your transgressions and be free to live. Offer your own life to be witness of faithfulness, love, and peace. Receive mercy and forgiveness from He who loves your eternally.
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...
