Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
While everyone was asleep, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and then hurried away.
There will always be the threat of division, betrayal, and lies. It begins with a suggestion or a whisper. It is not intended to question with the aim being that of improving but rather that of destruction. We must first know what is the truth. We must know who we are and be firm with our convictions. Our eyes must be fixed on our Lord and our hearts on salvation. The devil will come to each of us as a friend or someone who wants to be of help. Does this help lead you closer towards becoming a Saint? Test everything, retain what is good. Be vigilant in your acquaintances and understand that the devil uses you as a pawn against the Father. Do not. Become discouraged when you see worldly pursuits being rewarded. Do not be saddened when you see evil behavior being celebrated. The time will come when God's angels will gather the harvest into the Kingdom. First will be the wheat and those whose lives havr sought the lives of Saints. The remaining weeds and those who enjoyed discord and evil will be gathered up and cast into the fire to be destroyed. Do not be afraid to live as the Saints. Your efforts and your life is not without reward.
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...
