'Time' - We All Have Less Than Yesterday

Make Your Time Count

Many of us today tend to give emphasis to feeling good and being accepted in society.  Winning political victories, attaining financial success, unhindered sensuality, and being famous seem to be the most important things for the many, even within the Church.  Even those who are serious about eternity often give up because of their sins and sufferings.  We are no longer “working out our salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil. 2:12) because we have ignored the dire warning of our Lord Jesus Christ: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk. 8;36). 

We all know the time we have from the present until the time we die, is all the time we have left to invest in our heavenly retirement program.  Too many people have a thought in the back of their mind that if they don’t think about death it will go away.  Not True!  Whether we think of death or not, it will still come our way.  Every day, every choice we make brings us closer to our judgement.  Start now making a difference in your relationship with God that will affect your eternal judgement.  So, get off the couch and get on your knees - make a positive change while you still can.  Try a visit to the Adoration Chapel.

The magic of Adoration in part is that the more often you participate, the longer you want to stay, and the deeper you enter into quiet and listening.  Soon you learn to trust his voice and are able to discern his advise.

Happy Birthday Jesus

 Happy Birthday Jesus! 

When you look upon the Sacred Host after the consecration at Mass, or you kneel in front of the Sacred Host displayed in the Monstrance in the chapel, you look upon Jesus Himself, the Son of God.  We believe the bread and wine have ceased to exist after the Consecration, so that it is the adorable body and blood of the Lord Jesus that from then on are really before us under the sacramental species of bread and wine, as the Lord willed it, in order to give Himself to us as food and to associate us with the unity of His Mystical Body.

During this season of gift giving please take a few minutes to find a quiet place to sit and free your mind of all the clutter of secular Christmas; sincerely thank Our God for the priceless gift of His Divine Son.  It’s a gift the true value of which cannot be fully appreciated this side of Heaven.

So if you’re asked ‘What did you get for Christmas?’; I hope you would respond ‘I received the gift of greatest value anyone on earth could hope for!’  (originally published Dec 25, 2022)

As Beloved Children Of God We Are Free

 A Beloved Child … You!

“When we adore the Lord Jesus present in the Eucharist, we receive a new outlook on our lives as well: I am not the things I possess or the successes I can achieve.  The value of my life does not depend on how much I can show off nor does it diminish when I encounter failures and setbacks.  I am a beloved child, each of us is a beloved child.  I am blessed by God.  He wants to clothe me with beauty and free me from all slavery.

“Let us remember this: whoever worships God does not become a slave to anyone.  They are free.  Let us rediscover the prayer of adoration, a prayer that is frequently forgotten.  Adoration … frees us and restores us to our dignity as
                                 children, not slaves.”
                                        Pope Francis - from a Sept 2022 homily
