Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Do not be concerned about storing up treasures on earth. Store up treasures for yourself in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves cannot break in and steal.
When we know that something big is coming we prepare for it. If its a gathering at home we clean extra and plan extra food and drink. If a big storm is coming we ready the emergency supplies. We work our whole life planning for retirement by saving money and investing. But what about the biggest event there is for us? How do we plan for entrance into eternal life? We should not be blind to the process and that which is expected. We should not be arrogant in expecting we could live as we wish and God's mercy will excuse and forgive everything. We cannot say that we didn't know or understand the expectations. The life we are all called to live is explained and shared with us by those who live it. Yes it is one that requires sacrifice and service. When one follows this path and lives this life the eternal treasure builds and the dividends from that account you receive here and now in the form of inner peace.
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...
