If we were to die unexpectedly, am I ready to meet Jesus? Am I ready to be taken to the heavenly home?

Prayer is essential if we are to grow rich in the things of God. Meaningful prayer requires that we bring ourselves to God, with both our positive and negative aspects of our lives.

Often when we do not know what is good for us. That is why we must prayerfully place our lives in God's hands. God wants only our good, our eternal good.

Only when we truly welcome a person into our lives and our hearts can we communicate to them the "good news: of Jesus, Our Savior.

If we are aware, there are many to whom we can reach out with compassion.

We rejoice, not because we live in perfect peace and harmony, but because Christ has won the victory over sin and evil. We are assured that we will rejoice with Him for all eternity if we remain faithful to Him

God is working in the Church and in our lives often when, to the eyes of the world, it appears we have been abandoned and forsaken.

Even though there is sin in the lives of all of us, we have hope of salvation if we can repent of our sins and call upon the mercy of our God.

When we choose sin, we choose death. When we repent, Jesus freely restores us to life.

We were brought to life and raised up with Christ(Ephesians 2:4-6) therefore we can say that we were with Jesus when he ascended to the Father

The fruit of the Eucharist can be limited by inner awareness of who we receive

Confirmation gives us the grace to trust in Jesus and allow Him to lead and guide us throught life

Jesus came to bring a new heaven and a new earth. The life He shares with us in the Eucharist is essential in deepening His life within us and gathering us into this heavenly Jerusalem.

Our faith in the risen Christ can bring great joy into our lives. That joy is more enduring than any hardship and suffering that comes into our lives through following Christ.

We are called to stay faithful to Jesus in the daily Struggles of Life.

Jesus became one of us so that God might bestow His mercy on the entire human family.

Lest us strive to follow the Risen Jesus in Holiness

Lazarus, for Jesus, was asleep. Pointing out to us that death is not the end, but a transition to a new life. That life comes to us through the dying and rising of the Lord Jesus.

Curiosity can be healthy or sinful depending. Curiosity that leads us to the true Light is healthy. Curiosity that leads away from the light that God gives into darkness is sinful.

Where do we go to satisfying the deep yearnings of our lives. If we go that which the world offers, we constantly come back for more. If we go to Jesus, we find an inexhaustible source that satisfies our deepest longings.
