O Holy Spirit, Descend Into Our Hearts!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world…

“She is Clothed with Strength and Dignity…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into…

“Pray with Me for Peace…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [Matthew 26:40-41] The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober…

Be at Peace

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And…

In All Your Troubles, Seek God!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible “No need to remember past events, no need to think about what was done before. Look, I am doing something new, now it emerges; can you not see it? Yes, I am making a road in the desert and rivers in wastelands.” [Isaiah 43:18-19] It is for freedom that Christ has set…

To Jesus Through Mary…

*J.M.J.* Do not forget about the Holy Mother this Lent! Call on her and she will assist you in your need; leading us closer to her Divine Son, Jesus, so that we can know Him, serve Him and love Him better each day. Holy Bible As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to…

Spiritual Boot Camp

*J.M.J.* Lent is here. A “spiritual boot camp,” if you will. Instead of focusing on our bodily muscles, we must stimulate and train our spiritual muscles; our faith. Let us seek the Face of Our Blessed Lord. Let us contemplate Him; His love, mercy and sacrifice upon the Cross. How He purchased our freedom with…

Put On The Armor of God

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of…

Place Your Hope in God!

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood…

”Leave Sin and Decide for Holiness…”

*J.M.J.* Holy Bible Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded…
