“Put out into the deep, and let down your net for a catch.”
Luke 5:4

Peter was the fisherman and he knew his job. This was not the time to let down your net to fish. It did not make sense. But Peter did it anyway!

Total Trust!

Peter’s surrendering what made sense for him, even when it went against all of his training and experience, gave Jesus the opportunity to show that He is Lord! Peter’s humbly following Jesus’ instructions revealed to him Jesus and his own unworthiness.

Jesus made another miracle. This however took much more time. Jesus would make this humble fisherman the Head Apostle of a worldwide movement that leads to salvation. Perhaps that is a bigger miracle, if we can say that, compared to the extraordinary catching of fish.

Peter’s transformation was gradual, and full of personal failures, but it was accomplished! All it took for him to be transformed was surrendering his will to Jesus!

Be humble and let Jesus work the miracle in our lives.

Be Love Regardless of the Situation!

Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.
Luke 4:30

Jesus preached truth and it was all about love. However, He often had to deal with the opposite, hate. It seems that love demands that one change one’s live and many somehow think that killing the Messenger would kill the Message that demands a whole new way of relationship toward all things.

The message of love that Jesus teaches can not be destroyed. Even the Passion and the Cross that Jesus had to experience because of the Truth; Love is All, could not stop its power.

Love and live in peace!

Jesus told us to love everyone, even those who hate us. Love is All!

All Is Fulfilled!

And He began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Luke 4:21

Can we live the fulfillment?

Jesus said:

He came to bring good news to the poor!

He came to proclaim release to captives!

He came to bring recovery of sight to the blind!

He came to set liberty those who are oppressed!

Living in Jesus brings fulfillment to His promises!

As we begin each day, may we ask ourselves how will we accomplish Jesus in all of our interactions?

Before we go to bed each night, may we look at our thoughts, words and deeds done that day, and see if Jesus was lived in them?

May we pray for forgiveness for our shortcomings and as we wake, commit ourselves to be Christlike in the new day.

May we always take Jesus seriously and always be like Him!

We Will Follow Him!

You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.
Luke 3:22

Happy Feast of the Baptism of the Lord!

As we close another Christmas Season we take with us the message that the Lord is always with us. This message will take us through every struggle that comes with living in the world.

We always need a little Christmas!

We still may have to struggle with disease, money issues, loneliness, even with death, yet we know, because of Christmas, these things are not the final outcome. We have the hope of Christmas! We have the joy of Christmas! We have the peace of Christmas! And most of all, we have the love that is exemplified by the true meaning of Christmas!

Jesus shows us the way!

Jesus entered our world and if we follow Him, we will get through everything, because Jesus will see us through it!

May Christmas always be with us!

The Holy Family Leads Us!

And it came to pass, that after three days, they found Jesus in the Temple Court. Luke 2:46

Two loving parents, Mary and Joseph, were in distress because they could not find their Son. Life get complicated, but Jesus is always available to us, if we keep looking for Him, we will find Him; we will find Peace!

As we bathe in the Christmas Mystery, even as we deal with COVID again, let us find Jesus again and again and find the peace that will give us rest in all our struggles.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11

We have made so much preparation for this special day and now we are here!

We remember, we celebrate, we believe!

We remember Love, we celebrate Love, we believe in Love!

When we celebrate today, there may be many emotions and challenges that we still have to deal with, but if we remember that today is all about Divine Love and we respond with Love to one another today, we will have a joy filled day.

Also remember that the next seven days are Christmas Days too! Let us bathe in Divine Love.

Blessed Are We!

Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Luke 1:42

Happy Fourth Sunday in Advent!

The Christmas Season is almost here, and we get invited to a meeting of two Holy Women, Mary and Elizabeth. This meeting teaches us about them, and about us.

It is all about love!

Mary conceived Jesus and instead of glorifying herself, she went to work! The Eternal One entered into Mary and she had to share that blessing!

God desires to enter us, of course, not like the profound way that Mary was entered, and our response must be the sharing of the blessings with others!

This the darkest time of the year, those around us need the light of the blessings given to us by God!

Share your blessings and lighten your world!
