Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
You are in error, for you do not understand the Scriptures.
I have always found it to be a great concern when someone begins a commentary regarding Faith or Sacred Scriptures with the words, "well for me..." This may seem polite and gentle but quite honestly I am not interested in your opinion. Thank you but are you really so inspired by the Holy Spirit that you have Divine Revelation and possess Wisdom that you can speak on your own authority? Perhaps not. I love you and I thank you for sharing but I will instead rely upon the 2000 years of documented writings of thosd who have come before me and whose understand of Divine Revelation has been pressed harder than any of us can imagine and still stands unshakeable. I don't claim to know anything. I am simply a messenger of Truth that truly the mess we see around us and within us is nothing new. There are solutions to be found if we care to look. Read! St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, St. Augustine Confessions, St. Ignatius Spiritual Exercises. Read! The answers are there without your modern opinion which has been shaped by modern conversations and worldly endeavors. The only personal opinions worth sharing is for each of us to share our own struggles and failures. We fight knowing both the road ahead and the many pitfalls we find ourselves in. We support one another in our daily crosses we carry. We admit our sinfulness and never make excuses for it. We seek forgiveness from both God and those we love for we can do better, be better, strive for holiness and righteousness. When we profess that we are God's children we ought to act like it acording to the rules of His house not our own. Yes we fall short of this but every day we strive forward to the Father. "For me." No. For Him! For Jesus Christ my Lord. 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...
