When we veer off course too far, the Sacrament of Reconciliation will get us back on course. Amen.

God gladly makes our path straight and smooth. We just seem to want to veer off course. The on-going goal is to narrow the course. Amen.

An old golf adage. Very applicable to one's faith life. We have to plan certain aspects of our lives. Stay in the here and now and on the straight when possible. It's al about the finish. Amen.

God offers us everything. Amen.

God creates, sustains, and animates us. In times such as these that may mean praying for our walking dead. There is so much to distract our brothers and sisters from the most important of all commandments. Let us pray for conversion and healing every day. Amen.

When we choose to walk with Jesus daily we will come to recognize many of the changes in our lives. But the most important aspects of our on-going conversion will be subtle and recognizable by others in our lives. And that in turn cane have a subtle impact on them. Amen.

We are so small in comparison to the universe our Father created. And yet, we are so loved and wanted. We have big dreams, ambitions, and quite often; egos. In the small we find God, ourselves, and the peace that comes from that loving relationship. Amen.

What gets us into more trouble? We seem to think we are in control and know everything. And then when we make a mistake, we blame somebody else. God's in control and is all-knowing. Rules and laws exist for a reason. We need to practice and master obedience and live a more rich and meaningful life walking with God and not running from Him. Amen.

Even with all the misery, confusion, etc. this world is full of; we can be at peace knowing it is temporary and insignificant. We must trust in our Lord and Savior and live a life not only taught but modeled by Jesus. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. You and I are children of the Creators of the Universe. Amen.

The evil one has a small bag of tricks to trip us up. We can come to recognize and avoid them if we try. He is relentless and so we always have to be on guard. Prayer and trust in the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit is so important to protecting our souls. Amen.
