Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Jesus is the very Word of God. Consider in your own life how your words lift people up or break their hearts. Consider the influence you extend when you speak words regarding another. The word has weight whenever it is used.
God's creative Word is Jesus. The Word was with God and the Word is God. Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of the Word of God taking on flesh, entering humanity anliving as one of us. God did this so as to show us His love through the humility and sacrifice of a human life. God did this to show us how important we are to him and to remind us of our dignity as His children. Believe that God so loved the world that He gave the world His only begotten Son. If you are willing to believe this and live as Jesus tells you to live then the fullness of life is yours.
Christmas is a time of celebration of and gift of life. In Jesus Christ we find the human face of God and the Divine face of man. Humanity has been elevated to Heaven.
God bless you all, Merry Christmas 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...
