Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
There was no privilege in this world for Mary. There was no gold or silver to win and boast as to her greatness in this world. Mary said yes to God not fully knowing what she was getting into but yet trusting fully and completely. Her life was one of scandal and sacrifice. She trusted anyway.
Don't be shortsighted in what living actually means. The time we have here and now is brief. Our hope and future rests in the Lord. Mary understood this and thus the Angels call her "Full of Grace" and her cousin saw and recognized her connection to God at the sound of her greeting. You too should recognize Mary's greeting in the voice of your heart. She is more than the mother of Jesus. She has been given to you as mother also. Call out to her and allow her to wrap her arms around you. Rest in her embrace and allow the storms of this world to pass.
Your mother Mary loves you. Allow her into your life and shelter you in her Imaculate Heart. Allow her to be your safe harbor and resting place. Allow her to take you to her Son Jesus and live. 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...
