Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
You shall set apart thrre cities... where a man may take refuge to save his life when he inadvertently kills his neighbor.
Moses set up locations for those who have gravely sinned to live apart from others in exile. While your sin may not be as gravely as Moses intended you too have a city of refuge to work out your grave sins. Don't think you don't have any because you do. Examine closely the Commandments. Look at those pertaining to covetousness. Do you desire what others have thinking that you deserve more and more? You will never be satisfied. Do you trust Jesus? Then why do you fear and worry about the future. Come to the city of refuge which is Mary our Blessed Mother. Enter her Immaculate Heart and allow her to care for you and show you her Son, Jesus Christ. In her arms you will find hope and you can begin your path towards Jesus our Savior.
There is no sin too great for Jesus to cleanse if you present yourself with a humble and contrite heart. Your shame and your pain must not dictate your next step. Go to our Mother and allow her to nurse your wounds. Mary will help prepare you to offer your brokenness upon the alter as a sacrifice. Jesus will heal you but the first step must be yours.
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...
