| So it has been a very long time. Well June 2 is coming up fast. That will be the date of ordination to the priesthood. So you can imagine things have been getting busy. I have been giving talks almost every weekend and now classes are in full swing. It has been an interesting time for me the devil is active in may ways but Grace has been moving in greater ways. How many times do we only look at the devil's attacks but forget to see how God is working in our lives. God loves us all and is trying to help us all to find Christ but we turn towards the world and look away. When we do look to God we can see how beautiful life is an how precious every single second is that we are spending here on this journey through earth. Look to Christ only if you want to find peace and happiness otherwise you can look to the world and see the emptiness that it offers. Ok so many random quick toughts but I only had a few moments. I hope you are all doing well may God bless you. | | |
| Thanksgiving is here. How many people in our culture will go through the day without giving Thanks for all the many blessings that God has given us? It is a shame that we have been blessed with so many beautiful things from God and we won't even thank Him. I am thankful for all God has done in my life for all the great people He always leads me to and for allowing me to serve Him in so many ways. May God bless you. | | |
| There are many times that we pass by people in need of help and many times we don't stop by to help. I stopped by and helped someone the other day and they said that I was the first person to ask if they needed help in an hour. He called me the good Samaritan but I thought of how many time that I did not stop or act that way. Do we act more like the priest and Levite in the story or the Samaritan? | | |
| Well I am going to be giving a few talks coming up two to two different womens religious groups and a few to high school age students. So for that last one I was debating on the topic to give. What do you think is the biggest problem facing the high schoolers today and what would you like or would have like to have heard about. | | |
| God's mercy is so great. I was talking with someone who has been away from the Church for a long time and they basically said they have no need for God. After talking to them a while it turned into God does not love them because of things that happened and at the end I was able to help him see how important it is to have God in your life. How many times we look at the actors or rich people and think they have it all made then you really get to know them and you see it is a life of emptiness and pain and one that there is no joy in it. Then you talk to some of the nuns and sisters that are in the poorest religious groups and they have Joy just radiating from them. It shows how important it is to have God in your life when you are trying to fill that void. I have also seen this same peace and joy in families that follow God and other people. The key is keeping Christ at the center. May God Bless you. | | |
