Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Feed My lambs... Tend My sheep."
We are all under the protection and care of Jesus Christ our Good Shepherd. He will lead us into green pastures. Our journey also takes us by ways where we need the support of others. The Church is made up of others like you. Together we lambs make up the flock, the Church and Peter was given the task by Jesus to feed us and tend to our needs. We are fed with the Eucharist. The Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus. Peter, the first of the Vicar of Christ began the process of this ministry. Over the years in the line of succession there has been others, today we have Pope Francis.
In your own life and in your own circle of every day living you too are called to this same ministry. You speak and others listen. Hear these words and let your heart be filled with love for Church. There are those in your life who yearn to be fed. You are not alone in this ministry. 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...
