Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Love God, serve God: everything is in that.” — St. Clare of Assisi

    Christ asked Peter three times, “do you love me?”   Christ asks this same question to us everyday.  “Do you love me enough to be kind and patient with your spouse?  Do you love me enough to give up the emotional attachments that might be hurting your marital bond?  Do you love me enough to forgive this person who hurt you deeply?  Do you love me enough to put me on your schedule and dedicate serious time to prayer each day?  This is the key…love Christ intensely!!

God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

     “Youth is wild, and requires many governors, teachers, directors, attendants, and tutors; and after all these, it is a happiness if it be restrained. For as a horse not broken in, or a wild beast untamed, such is youth. But if from the beginning, from the earliest age, we fix it in good rules, much pains will not be required afterwards; for good habits formed will be to them as a law.”

St. John Chrysostom

     It started with strict bedtimes that were enforced in grade school and this evolved into a strict curfew in High School on week-ends.  My dad would always be at the door at 1130 PM to analyze my state of mind and ask a few questions to see my level of coherency.  There was a deep Faith, and a loving discipline in our home and I am really grateful to my parents for going the extra mile in “forming” us!  They taught me to respect them and God, and this foundation was fundamental and transformational for my adult life.

God bless,
