Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
I bear with all things for the sake of those whom God has chosen.
It should come as no surprise that your life is difficult. There should be no great mystery as to the cause of your inner suffering. Jesus Himself said that His kingdom is not of this world. Therefore this world clearly is ruled by Satan. We have chosen a side. We have chosen to be in the light and defend that which is of the light. Understand that the hostility towards faith and reason, truth and justice, is not really personal. Of course we feel the attacks in our personal lives but in reality the Devil doesn't care about you. The Devil hates God and those who are in authentic relationship with God. Take heart in this that your sufferings will result in the Devil's conviction. The trials and tribulations that you must endure for the sake of righteousness will convict the Devil and earn you favor in Heaven. Stant tall and do not waiver in your faith. Suffer with grace as your life in Christ Jesus heaps burning coals upon the heads of the enemies of Truth. Do not be afraid. Your life is being purified and your testimony is being recorded in the book of life.
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...
