Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
A faithful friend is beyond price; there is no way to measure his worth.
There are far more people in the world today alone than you may realize. To offer friendship one must trust and open up in vulnerability to being hurt. There is genuine love and a desire for the other to be happy. A friend will celebrate with you and will cry and grieve with you. I sure friend will hold your confidence and support your growth without judgment. A friend will laugh with you and find your company as peaceful rest.
There is no wealth or pleasure in this world that will offer lasting joy and peace. It is in the true and genuine love of friendship that we find ourselves experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the ultimate experience of friendship. Through His example we can model to others around us how to live with one another. Follow this simple model:
Find a friend
Be a friend
Bring a friend to Christ
This is the life of living a in communion with the Saints and one another. 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...
