Pray for all of us!! Our egos keep us proud and blind and deaf and dumb. It's in humbly admitting the sin in our own lives that we come to know ourselves well. And it's the sin in our own lives that keeps our egos from growing and allows God to enter in with compassion and great love. And when God enters into our lives, we become fruitful and we see, hear, and know the truth. God bless!!

The Kingdom of God lives within each one of us. We can choose life this day or death. We can choose truth this day or lies. The worst lie of all is the one we tell ourselves. If we live in the truth, we live lives of joy and peace - peace with ourselves and with all those whose lives we touch. If we live in the lie, we live lives of frustration and anger - anger at ourselves and with all those whose lives we touch. The Sacramental life of the Church helps us to live lives of joy and peace. Follow Jesus!! God bless!!

God calls us to a greater love than the world can give. We humans fail each other and we do it more often than we admit. But God never fails. Our one true love and protection comes from our creator. We are but creatures made in the likeness of our creator. We are called to love one another and to serve each other well. We cannot do this unless we first love God and serve him well. When we are tempted to judge one another, we should first look at ourselves for it is there that we will always find the greater sin. And it is then that we discover God's great love in his forgiveness of our sin and thus our forgiveness of the sins of those that God has put into our lives. There is nothing in our lives that we have because we have willed it. It is all there because God willed it first. If you did not have your health or your job, you would probably have nothing. Remember to thank God today for all that you are and all that you have. God bless!!
