Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Blessed is the man who hears me and watches daily at my gates. ... He who finds me finds life, and wins salvation from the Lord.
We are called to live not as the popular world dictates but as Jesus commands. We have been consecrated to live as ambassadors of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. We have been called to live in the world without being of thr world. We turn to our Blessed Mother Mary for her grace to rest in our hearts. We are agents of change and defenders of righteousness, witnesses of thr faith and warriors against evil. We put on the full armor of God daily and take up our cross.
As we live our life we share the truth of Christ which is the Gospel. We turn to the Saints in Heaven as models for we walk as they walked in this twisted and depraved world. We pray to St. Michael for his help to dispell Satan from our midst as he dispelled him from Heaven. May we keep watch and stand ready for our Lord's return, for we do not know the day or the hour. May we draw strength and nourishment from the Eucharist, our living bread and eternal water. May we live the words, "Be not 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...
