Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
God proves His love for us by the fact that Christ died for us when we were yet still sinners.
Consider just how much God loves you. Your every breath and your every beat of your heart speaks of your gift of life from a God who desires that you have an adventurous life. We often demand that others prove their commitments to us through oaths, contracts, and sacrifice. Without these things we risk being vulnerable and being taken advantage of.
But God did all this for us and continues it with every person in every generation. God swore never to destroy the earth through flood and gave us the rainbow as a sign, the devil co-opt that. God made a covenant or contract with us with Israel through the Passover, the devil sought to destroy the Jewish people. God offers all the love He has through the sacrifice and death of His Son Jesus on the cross. The devil divides and distracts us from seeing all this.
We are being led astray by forces that don't care if we believe or worship them. The devil simply doesn't want us to worship God. Doesn't want us to look at and follow Jesus. We must understand this.
You want peace and understanding in your life. What you are looking for is before you in the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes He knows that you are a sinner. Let Him heal your brokenness and set you on the path that leads to eternal life. 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...
