Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Faith is the assurance of what we hope for, and the conviction of things we do not see.
Do you have eyes of faith? Imagine living in darkness with a world full of hazards and obstacles. Constantly groping and banging into things while occasionally falling into holes will cause anyone to become bitter and hopeless. Now imagine being given your own night vision glasses. The hazards remain but you can see them clearly. You can see other things as well. You see people in their desperation to get through and you see those who are the cause of it all.
When you have eyes of faith in Jesus Christ you see clearly. You see the evil in the world and you see the diabolical as well as its victims. You are called to walk in the light not the darkness. Pray to our Lord for the grace to see. Pray to our Lady for the comfort and strength to step through and follow Her Son. Push back the darkness in your life and walk by faith not by sight.
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...
