Daily Reflections with Fr. John

People want signs but Jesus wants Faith. Let us trust in God's Word.

Jesus goes to the home of Martha and Mary and shares with them and all of us a lesson on hospitality

It is always good to stand for what is right and just but never be a person of violence. We are called to love the Lord and to serve one another.

Today we reflect on the law. It is there to guide us but we must be careful not to make law a god.

Jesus is inviting you to "COME TO ME." Jesus wants to have a personal relationship with you. Jesus wants to bring you rest and comfort.

We all need to be open in our faith and grow strong as a child of God. We must learn to accept Jesus' message and not from anything or anyone else. We must drop everything and Follow, the king of kings and the Lord of Lords.

We need to take our faith seriously, to repent and to recognize Jesus as Lord.

Do not get caught up in a fake peace but seek God above everything and everyone to discover true peace.

What does it take to inherit eternal Life?

God knows everything about you, everything so put your trust and faith in God alone.

“Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves.”

GO GO GO out into the world and give to others what you have, Jesus, the Lord of life and love. Do not wait for people to come to you. It may never happen. 

The calling of the twelve apostles by Jesus helps us to know that Jesus needs others to build the church. Today we play a part in this great plan. Go and proclaim the Gospel.

Jesus has power to cast out demons. Do we bring people who are hurting to Jesus? Or Are we like the Pharisees that are always critical and negative?

On this wonderful celebration we must never forget that we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD

You are commissioned to go out and proclaim the Gospel. By your baptism help others know the Lord.

To have Jesus in our life brings great rejoicing. Fasting helps all of us to pray, to grow in humility and to allow Jesus to be our everything.

Allow God's mercy to fill your troubled soul. Seek the Lord at all times. Do not let your pride get in the way of your need for God. God is the divine physician. 

We bring others to Jesus so that they may have a personal encounter with Christ. Jesus forgives sins and heals our broken hearts.

Today we reflect on two men who were solid in their faith, who said yes to God and who brought so many to see the light of Christ.

Storms are real and can be very devastating. We need to turn our attention to Jesus who can guide us through the storm. Have faith and trust in him.

Today we continue to reflect on the invitation to follow Jesus above everything else.

Today we reflect on the words BUT FIRST when Jesus asks you to follow him. BUT FIRST is about finding the right excuse to keep us from giving our life over to him.

Mary's heart is a model for all of us. Her heart is in union with the heart of Jesus. Let us like Mary give our heart to Jesus.

Today we reflect on the heart of Jesus so loving, a universal heart and a heart that forgives. What does Jesus see when he looks into your heart?
