Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“To be conscious of one’s weakness and to trust in God’s help is the way to authentic strength and victory.” Alice Von Hildebrand

In the obstacle course of life, you need to be humble enough to accept that you cannot scale every wall by yourself. Lean into Christ, seek out a solid spiritual director, surround yourself with Christ-centered friends…and you will find that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!
God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“It is folly not to think of death. It is greater folly to think of it, and not prepare for it.” St. Alphonsus Liguori

During my daily run, I pass the Rye cemetery every day…I glance at those old tomb stones and it reminds me of my own mortality and the need to be prepared for this final encounter with Our Lord…
God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.” – St. Thomas Aquinas

One of the titles attributed to Our Blessed Mother is “Star of the Sea.” She showed us what it means to whole-heartedly conform your life and your will to the plan of God, and she is an incredible point of reference in our journey towards the heavenly port! Thank you, Mary for your “yes” to God’s plan!

God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“The enemy will not see you vanish into God’s company without an effort to reclaim you.” C.S. Lewis

Pray every day, stay close to Christ and our Blessed Mother every single day…they are holding your hands and will accompany you to the gates of heaven. Patient perseverance and lots of love for Christ is required!

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people’s, we do not accept them easily enough.” CS Lewis

We should not feel a moral obligation to take the speck out of everyone else’s eye…try to focus on your own issues and inspire others with the holiness of your lives.
God bless,
