Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with you.
Is there anyone who knows someone better than their own mother? Can a son who loves his own mother ever deny their mother's requests? Is their anyone besides a mother capable of feeling the needs of a child?
Motherhood is unequaled. Those of you who are mother's know that this is true. The bond between mother and child can not be undone. Jesus gives His mother to the world and Mary His mother accepts this and embraces each of us as if we too have been carried in her womb and born into the world through her in the waters of our baptism.
Call upon Mary who is our mother and allow yourself to be embraced by her. Go to her in your need. Let her bring you in her arms to her Son and be healed, comforted, reconciled. Mary our mother, full of grace from heaven now offered herself to you as your mother. Listen to her as she speaks to your heart. Follow her as she holds you close to her immaculate heart.
You don't have to be alone. You have a family of heavenly saints who want to be part of your life. This family's matriarch is our Blessed Mother Mary. She wants you to know her and her Son Jesus.
Speak and pray to her. Call out her name. Tell her your thoughts, feelings, joys and fears, then listen as she speaks to your heart. Listen as she guides you on a straight path to her Son our Lord Jesus Christ. 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...
