Eucharistic Reflection - Go Be with Him!

Image
" You must spend time in the Presence of God! When you go to church to spend time at Adoration, give your full attention to the Lord. Talk to Him just as if you were talking to a friend or relative. Know that He is there in front of you, waiting for you! All you need to do is to open your eyes and your hearts to God. Even though God knows everything that is in your heart, He wants you to share those thoughts with Him. He is waiting for you to ask Him to help you, your loved ones and others in need. Only He knows what you and they need and what is best for the salvation of your soul and theirs. Be grateful that you can come into His Presence and be with Him.

Should we not offer all the joys and tribulations of our lives to Him? Should we not worship and love Him as He asks? Should we not ask Him to change our hearts and teach us how to love...

Then I saw them – about 15 of them. Suddenly, I realized how long it had been since I last went to prison.    Odd, isn’t it. The one place I visited where I was always immensely blessed is filled with men and women whom the majority of us would never voluntarily choose to have anything to do with - no matter that our Faith teaches that all of us, including the greatest sinners among us, were created in the image and likeness of God and that each of us, without exception, by and through the unearned and undeser...

Monsignor Eugene Yennock Has A Message You Must Hear!

Image
(From St. Daniel's Church) I urge you to listen to, and then share, the homily of 95 year old Monsignor Eugene Yennock of Syracuse, New York, a link to which appears at the end of this post. While many lay Catholics, priests and bishops have remained silent during this election cycle, a few courageous souls have stepped forward and taught their family, friends, neighbors and/or flock the Truth - the Truth that binds every living human being. What is that Truth?  - that the most preeminent priority issue of our time is abortion - the willful and sinful killing of human life - made even more heinous by selling their dismembered body parts. There is no compelling proportionate reason anyone can offer to justify the physical dismemberment and killing of human life and the selling of those body parts! NONE!!!!!!   There is nothing ambiguous about this Truth.  It must be proclaimed in every home, city, village, town, and from every pulpit in this nation! This related Truth ...
