Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own prudence.
Life throws fast balls. Sometimes we get hit right in the head. That usually is right after a problem comes our way and we boldly say to those who want to help; "I got this." We got it alright.
Pride is perhaps the greatest sin and the one which is excused the most. It is the sin of Lucifer who because of pride told God "I will not serve."
The fast balls will always keep coming and we must recognize our need for help from others and especially from the Holy Spirit. The gifts that the Spirit offer us opens the doors to manage every difficulty life brings. The wisdom that we cultivate when we use the Gifts makes us better people and smarter. We learn to duck under those high fast pitches who would otherwise bean us in the head.
Trust in the Lord and use the gifts he offers. Know that he truly wants you to succeed. Believe in the eternal plan.
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...
