Hebrews 11: 6 (Psalm 46) Does God Exist?  How often are we confronted with that truth?  C.S. Lewis in his book "Mere Christianity," best explains this truth.  We are not alone.  We must earnestly seek God.  Grace, patience and time are essential for us to know, love and serve the Lord and to know HE IS HERE among us.   Music: "Just As I Am, Without One Plea" "Richer Path&q...

Spiritual Work of Mercy - Instruct The Ignorant It seems rather rude to have a Spiritual Work of Mercy that's called "Instruct the Ignorant."  But the key here is the reality of "mercy."  Each of us have been given the gifts of faith and understanding.  Jesus invites us to share that gift of faith and understanding with others.  Needless to say, it takes courage and great...

2 Timothy 1: 7 Psalm 112 "Be Still My Soul" God reminds us to be bold and strong win our daily lives.  There is no place for timidity.  God has given us a spirit to make us strong, loving, wise, with self-discipline and power to accomplish our daily tasks.

Allow God to use all of who we are and not just the best parts of ourselves.   Even our brokenness can work for the Glory of God and to assist God to do His work here on earth.  St. Paul tells us "In my weakness I find my strength," because in our weakness, we turn to God...who is our strength!  Let us accept His invitation and let every part of us go to the Lord, that Hi...

Psalm 104: 24 Do you ever wonder where God lives? He is present, of course, in the most intimate and powerful way in Eucharist. It's one of the reasons I love to spend time in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.  But... where God LIVES is broader than His mere presence. Fr. Ron taught his nephew the answer to that question many years ago.... MUSIC - All Creatures of Our God and King - Jam...
