Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Because of his zeal in the fear of the Lord...he made expiation for Isreal.
I stand alone at judgement. My life and my heart is placed before Jesus. I am reminded of the parable of the three men who were given money by their master and the one who did nothing was punished while the two who invested theirs were rewarded. So it also is my life. To fear the world and hide from making a difference is cowardice and deserving of punishment. God placed a world before me in need of fixing. As St. Francis heard, "Rebuild My Church. " and thus I strive each day with zeal to make a difference in the lives I touch.
There is but one God and one Lord to serve. I am well aware of the falsehoods and deceptions that the Devil and his minions place before me. I pray for courage and fortitude yo never quit the fight and to never surrender to despair. The road ahead is full of obstacles and distractions but I carry with me hope and the love of my Blessed Mother and the support of the Communion of Saints. Though I walk through the shadows of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me.
My brothers and sisters you are not alone in you daily struggles. You are never alone. Draw strength from this truth and joyfully live your life. You have already won the battle. 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...
