Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

“Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop.”  CS Lewis

    Sophisms, justifications, excuses, giving yourself a pass…often lead to trouble.  Big sins don’t just happen out of nowhere.   You make small concessions here and there, losing a few pawns and before you know it, you have a major “issue.”  Daily prayer, frequent Mass and Confession give you the wisdom to make the right moves and read the devil’s traps.  Don’t play this game without Christ, you will eventually lose!

TKC!

I recently contributed to this LifeZette article on Pope Francis.

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

“The Supernatual is not remote and abstruse: it is a matter of daily and hourly experience: as intimate as breathing.  Denial of it depends on a certain abscent-mindedness. But this abscent-mindedness is in no way surprising.” CS Lewis

    God truly cares and he acts continuously in our lives, but we need to be attentive to read the signs.  One day, I was going for an early morning jog and I had a lot on my mind.   Suddenly, as I turned a corner, I passed a jogger with only one arm.   He had a big smile on his face and gave me the thumbs up…a simple gesture but it helped me put my small problems in perspective.  So many signs and moments of God’s mercy…thank you, Lord for being so involved in our daily lives!!
