Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
We always carry about in our bodies the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
It is important to understand the reason why Jesus says to each of us, come and follow Me. The promise of eternal life and our salvation requires our cooperation with Jesus and the system created for us by God. We must understand that our own eternal life is directly connected to our acceptance and participation in God's plan. The most vivid expression of this is sacrifice for the other. Jesus gave everything for us. In our own daily life we too must sacrifice for others. What began on the Cross is brought to completion in our daily cross. While we can't gain Heaven through works we demonstrate our unity with Christ through our reflecting the life of Christ in our own lives every day. Allow yourself to die spiritually to this world so that you can live spiritually in this world. Let your life be a life of grace and love. Do not allow your flesh be your master. Live your life knowing that you are destined for judgment. Be the embodiment of patience, forgiveness, humility, and wisdom. Do not compromise or allow falsehoods and lies to take root in your home. You are living stones of the Church. Know who and what you are. Be not 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...
