Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
If only you recognized the gift of God and Who it is that is asking you.
You are so very stubborn and stiff-necked. Everything must be how you decide it to be. You make others conform to your likes and you withhold kindness and charity. You gossip and place judgement on those who interfere with your methods and your lifestyle. All the while you declare that you are a God fearing man.
Jesus is the judge and arbitrator of right and wrong. We his humble servants are His witnesses of loving srrvice. I propose 2 standards for your consideration. The first is for those who do not know Jesus, be patient. Be charitable, be forgiving, be generous and know that you are an ambassador for God's Kingdom. The second is for those who do know Jesus. Awake, O Sleeper. Repent and return to the Gospel. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. You have been called to live in the light. If you struggle know that many before you also have struggled. Paul asked for relief and Jesus told him, My grace is sufficient.
My Brothers and Sisters, recognize that this lifr which you are being called to is the same one that Peter was called to. You too will be fishers of men and yrs it too will in this life will lead ro your death but it will also lead to life eternal and will be filled with abundance. Do not be afraid.
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...
