Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Jesus is... the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else.
Being a follower of Jesus is more than seeking to live a good life. There are many good teachers in the world. There are many inspirational and charismatic leaders in the world. Jesus is the living Word of God. The Bible is not a self help book that you flip through to fina an encouraging word or two to put a smile on your face. Be clear and understand this.
Jesus is the way, truth, and life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. This means that Jesus is a map to follow. If you choose not to follow the map you will get lost. You will end up somewhere other than where you ought to be both in this life and the one to come.
Follow the map which is the Word of God. Don't be foolish and lazy thinking you know better. You don't. Get rid of your pride and be humble before God. Jesus is the cornerstone which means that everything else is measured off of Him. If you don't align your life to this you are off the map. Have you considered that perhaps the difficulties in your life are your own fault through your own choices.
It's not too late to change. Your future has yet to be written. Today is the day to realign your life. Now. Seek the Kingdom of God first in your new decision making. Look to the one who truly matters. Jesus is knocking on the door to your heart, open it up now. 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...
