Family Issues

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!

The Gift of Love!

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.

Advent Blessings!

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!

Care to Share!

What Must We Do To Prepare for Jesus?

And the multitude asked Him, “What then shall we do?” And He answered them, “One who has two coats, let one share it with the one who has none; and one who has food, let one do likewise.”
Luke 3:10-11

True joy comes out of love.

This is the season of giving and rightly so. People generally get this reality. There are many who need to give and there are so many in need to receive, this is love at work!

In sharing, in a significant way, we participate in the Divine love that Christmas Season reveals.

There is no greater gift than the Divine Gift, Jesus Christ Our Lord!

The gift of Jesus is unconditional love! Let us share with those who are in need and prepare our hearts to receive Jesus in an extraordinary way this Christmas!

Let Our Paths Be Made Straight!

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His path.
Luke 3: 4

We need Christmas!

The Eternal One entered the world as an infant. Humble Jesus became one of us so that we can find peace. All the power in the world could not do it, but Jesus did and continues to do it, if we allow our path, our lives, to be available to Him!

In Christmas we begin again!

Chaos seems to rule in the world, but we do not have to be chaotic! We want to do so much to show how we love our family and friends. This can take our Inner-peace away. But this does not have to be the case. Let us find that inner-time by allowing the Holy Spirit to straighten our paths to receive Jesus again at Christmas! With Him, we will be well and our gift given, our desire to show love, will come out of a place of peace.

Hope!

Be Ready!

But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare.
Luke 21:34

Happy New Liturgical Year!

We begin again with the reality that life, as we know it, will change. Will are still experiencing this reality in this season of COVID-19. The world which we once knew seems to be gone forever.

But our fear, through prayer and meditation, may change to hope.

Why?

We know the end of the story! Jesus walked the road of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

We do not face trouble circumstances without hope!

Let us remember that, though we may experience terrible things, we have Final Victory with Jesus Christ Our Lord!

Christ the King!

Let Jesus Reign Over All!

Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.
John 18:37

There are so many things that are happening in our world, in our society, in our families and in our personal lives that it is so easy to be distracted. The Pandemic of 2020 has gone into 2021, and does not seem to be stopping! The emotions, and our reactions that come out of these distractions can change how we treat ourselves and others. We need the reminder of this Solemn Feast Day of Christ the King to regain our focus.

In all situations, Jesus Reigns!

If we stay present to this Kingdom, in our total being, then the things in this world have a focus and a purpose that brings us back to love.

Love is Always the Answer!

Jesus is Love! When He is our King, then we can maneuver in the chaos not be controlled by it!

Have Feast Day!

Pax.

End Times

Surrendering All

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Mark 13:31

We are coming to the end of the Church year and Advent will begin again in two weeks; we are reminded of our end time, individual and general. Ends can be frightening!

Blessed Assurance!

Ends of time are new beginnings in Jesus! However, we must do our part. Each day, each moment of the day, is a preparation for the end of time. These moments could be full of joy instead of fear. Living in Jesus is our joy and our peace.

We must learn to pray with Bl. Charles de Foucauld:

“Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will…”

Whatever happens, pandemics, or other challenging times, we are able to face them, because we are in Jesus! His grace is sufficient to provide for our peace.

Ends leads to new beginnings!

Welcome all things from the Lord!

The Widow Challenges Us!

“Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributing to the treasury.” Mark 12:43

The Widow as a role model.

Jesus uses the woman as a challenge for all people. We do not know this person’s name, but what is important is how she approached her faith in God.

#TotalTrust

Perhaps this story also points to another reality, this widow lived the way she acted in this occasion. May be she lived a life of total surrender. It takes a great deal of trust to give from your “want” as compared to those who give from their “plenty”.

#GodWillMakeAWay

Jesus is not making a commandment here, He is, however, giving us a challenge to look at ourselves and see how we fit in the story.

Meet the Challenged!
