Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     ”If certain thoughts bother you, it is devil who causes you to worry, and not God, Who, being the spirit of peace, grants you tranquility.” – St. Padre Pio

     Which voice are you listening to?

God bless,

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you,” said the Lion.”  CS Lewis

    Jesus really, REALLY wants to be your best friend.  He is always gently knocking on the door of your heart…will you let him in?

God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “What one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life — the life God is sending one, day by day.”  CS Lewis

    As I was ascending the steps of a subway station last week, a gentleman was waiting on the top with an outstretched hand and a big smile.  He caught me off guard and my focus was on getting to my lunch appointment…he was simply happy to see a priest and I should have lingered a little longer with this gentleman.  God may have someone on your schedule today that you are not aware of…be prepared to give that person your love!

God bless,

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man’s outward actions–if he continues to be just as snobbish or spiteful or envious or ambitious as he was before–then I think we must suspect that his ‘conversion’ was largely imaginary.” CS Lewis

    One of the difficulties that I have had with Protestants considering conversion is that they have told me, “Fr. Michael, I have a lot of Catholic friends who attend Church and even go to Bible studies, but some of them are not exactly models of Christian living…”  We all need to walk the walk to take this excuse away!

God bless,

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” G.K. Chesterton

    Which books line your shelf?  Are you feeding your soul with quality reading material?

God bless,
