We are all called to be compassionate and love. We can only do that through the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have great power. They can cause great injury; or bring about healing. We can look at the Gospels to see how Jesus spoke - to His disciples and the people. He always spoke the truth with authority. We can hear the seriousness and humor. More importantly we can see the immediate and long term impact. Amen.

God has a plan (a purpose) for each of us; and it is good. But in our impatience or lack of trust we compromise ourselves and sell ourselves short of the full potential God has instore for us. Sins of the flesh is just one example; but one of the most common and damaging. Our vocation may be religious or married life. Both require self control, respect, and dignity. Sex outside of marriage causes disorder which can impact us for life. Amen.

...as it seems. We are quick to jump to conclusions, develop presumptions, or think we understand. The world is full of lies, traps, and misdirection's. And that is why Saints like Teresa of Avila and Francis De Sales tell us not to be in a hurry. When we hurry we make mistakes. And there are very few split second decisions we really must make in life. We need to slow down and listen to the Holy Spirit. Amen.

God knows everything that has, is, and will happen in our lives. And He will use it for our good and the good of His divine plan. Amen.

God does not allow us to experience unnecessary suffering. And more importantly, God always brings about good from the bad. Amen.

Eliminates the fears and worries that gnaw at us. Simply because we know Jesus is with us, He is more powerful than any person or situation we face, and He wants us to be at peace with Him. Amen.

It's not what we learn in the world. It's what God reveals to us. And there is a BIG difference. Amen.

There are a lot of people who live in what we consider poverty, who are extremely rich in love and faith. And there are a lot of people who we would consider wealthy, who are bankrupt. Amen.

The world tries to tell us what our purpose is. But God created us for His purpose. If we're not sure what our purpose is we just need to ask Him. He'll let us know. Amen.
