Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Do not be children in your thinking: be children as far as evil is concerned, but be mature in thinking.
Do you really believe that you can hold fire in your bare hand without it burning you? How close do you want to sleep next to an electric fence? Is it wise to ride a motorcycle blindfolded? It seems obvious that you should be careful with matters that will harm you now but how much maturity do we extrnd to beliefs and behaviors that impact eternity. While you ignore tomorrow and recklessly play today the Devil is patient. The Devil is playing the long game. Watching you slowly over time not only becoming more reckless but even arguing that the recklessness is good and worthy of promotion.
My Brothers and Sisters see the absurdity around you. Refuse to be governed by it. Seek the greater good. Live a life in preparation for judgment and eternity. Have a heart of a child who lovingly trusts God the Father and the Living Word of God who is Jesus. Be as shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. Live in the world but do not become of the world. Your true home is Heaven.
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...
