Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment
What is the source of your emotions? Anger, resentment, malice do not come from God but rather the influence of this world. As a disciple of Jesus Christ you have accepted that your life will be led by the Holy Spirit. Do not be distracted from the plan that the Father has for you. The devil will use the influence of those who are weak in their faith to discourage and distract you from living out your walk with the Holy ones. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. Pray for those who place stumbling blocks before you. Pray fro patience. Offer pastoral council to those who will listen, never in your estimation but rather teach with the words of Sacred Scriptures, Fathers of the Church, and the writings of the Saints. You never walk alone for the Communion of Saints travel with you. Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and the comfort of our beloved Mother Mary. There is no reason to be angry with your brother. If you offer peace and it is refused, your peace will return to you. Do not be angry but rather shake the dust off and move on with a prayer that they will welcome the Gospel by another. We are all laborers not in our Vinyard but rather in the Father's Vinyard. Should another laborer make progress where we did not, thanks be to God. The Kingdom of God is still being built up. Give praise where praise is due and do not be angry or withdraw from the unity of the Father's Will. 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...
