Prepare the Way

 Come Oh Holy Spirit, please fill the hearts of thy faithful, please enkindle in us the fire of YOUR DIVINE LOVE. Send us YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, and YOU shall renew the face  of the earth, starting with my mind, body, soul and heart.

Mama Mary, in your Immaculate Heart we find solace and comfort as you continue to lead us and point us to your son, Jesus and do as He tells us what to do...

Yesterday afternoon, as I entered Ruel's office downtown, he told me of Doha friends who are updating him of the volatile situation  on both sides of the straight of Hormuz. the thin body of water that separates Qatar from Iran.

Checking my FB chat, I note some friends with family in Qatar asking for prayers.

Prayers is the first and only thing we can hold on to...

That Our Great God, in His goodness will spare us from another World War.

As we going about doing our own LIVES, may we always remember that we are all fighting our own small battles...

One must not lose heart.

One must seek The Way, The Truth and The Life, only to be found in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

John, His cousin, prepared The Way to come and  painfully paid for it with his head.

Ending this reflection with some more questions from Kerygma Family Daily Bible Reflections:

How can God use you as a light bearer of the Church?

What part of the day do you come before the Lord and spend time with Him in silence? What do you hear Him say to you?

In the face of resistance, how strong and steadfast are you to what you know is God’s will for your life?

St. John the Baptist, pray for us.

St. Louie DeMonfort, pray for us.

St. Maximillian  Kolbe, pray for us.

St. Theresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

St. John Paul II, pray for us.
