Good morning my Brothers and Sisters
Today's reflection
You are now in anguish, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one shall deprive you of your joy.
As a Catholic Christian you are part of Church Militant. You are soldiers in the fight against sin and death. You are in the world but never of the world. We know that our true home is Heaven and our true citizenship is of the Kingdom of God. Do not be conformed to this present time with all its pressures to live and behave in a manner pleasing to the flesh but rather be transformed in the mind and control the desires of the flesh through the wisdom of God. You are more than a creature, you are also spirit made in the image and likeness of God. Your flesh is its own theology as best explained by Saint John Paul the Great in his teachings "Theology of the Body"
This life will pass away and each of us are called to be with Christ Jesus for all of life eternal. You can faithfully endure whatever hardship this life comits you to for you know that your reward is great. Embrace and pick up your cross daily. Follow Jesus and be a Crusader. 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...
