M 25:23

 Come Oh Holy Spirit, please fill the hearts of thy faithful, enkindle in us the fire of Your Divine love, send forth your Spirit, and it shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

God the Father, God the Holy  Spirit, God the Son, Jesus Christ...create in us, redeem us and sanctify us in the mission you have for us.

Mama Mary, pray for us.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

St. Michael the Archangel, protect us

Words have power and words have consequences.

I have been wanting to do my gospel reflection for today since 530 this morning.

There were a lot of other things that called for my time and attention.

2nd born needed help in an  art work she has to do for next weekend's camp before she is picked up for a whole day activity in her  MFC youth group.

1st born had to go to her place of work to get some cardboard boxes...

After several days of sunny warm weather,  it is a bit extra cool this morning.

I have been admiring the  falling leaves  in my front neighbor's yard.

Beautiful yellowed leaves...

Fall indeed is here.

Last night, thanks to my hubby's back massage, my back feels very good this morning. I could barely move last night without complaining.

I praise and thank God for this morning and all other mornings He has generously showered on us.

Lord, thank you.

Thank you also for helping me overcome the evil that is trying to scare me and rob me of the Joy  I have in you.

The bullet that cut short a young man's life last September 10,2025 in Utah will not silence the work You Oh Lord have started...and that is for man to go back to You and respect precepts You have prepared for us...to have the authentic freedom from sin and slavery that awaits us on the other side of error and perversions.

My  reflections on today's Kerygma daily gospel readings:

How do you deal with your sins? Do you look down on yourself, or do you look up to God for His mercy? 

I reflect on them and see what led me to it. What are the trigger points...then, I acknowledge them and seek pardon from God right away and resolve to go to sacramental confession. 

I am learning how to use spiritual warfare against the evil spirits assigned to me at that point, to harass me, to confuse me, to make me morose and sad. By the mighty power of Jesus name, I rebuke, I reject them and command them to go to the foot of the cross and await Jesus' action on them. I plead Jesus blood to cover all areas  as a shield, nourishment and protection and provisions.

Thank you Lord Jesus for the grace to not stay down or beaten up.

I rise up  with Joy and Peace...that only You can give.

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. You have long saved me on the cross. Help me immerse myself in Your words to deepen my relationship with You and to bear good fruits in my life. Amen.
