"For the rest of my life I will be about the conversion of my heart, my mind, my opinions, my dreams, my plans, my attitude, my motives.... etc. Everything must slowly but surely be conformed to the will of God."

Otherwise everything is slowly but surely being conformed to my will or someone else's or some cultural norm.

There is no neutral ground here. We are changing whether we want to or not -we are getting stronger or weaker in faith. We are growing closer to or farther apart from our spouse. We are becoming a closer family or becoming more and more estranged from one another."

Quote (Michael John Poirier)

This is a baby not a choice.

This is a baby not a choice.
Our society has become deranged... We are killing our children; if we are not deranged, we are something much, much worse. -- paraphrased from an article in Catholic World Report

O, Saint Joseph

O, Saint Joseph
...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name, and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.

St. Agatha - February 5
“Jesus Christ, Lord of all things! You see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am—you alone. I am your sheep; make me worthy to overcome the devil.”

@ St. Anthony of Padua's

@ St. Anthony of Padua's
Complementing the ordered serenity of the worship space, this round window above the altar expresses the invasive exuberance of Divine presence. Swirling line work and assymmetrical composition create complex visual rhythms and suggest energy that cannot be confined within a building. God as Father is represented with images from the Psalms: the eye that sees all, the hand that creates and upholds, the sheltering wing. Artist: Stephen Wilson

Bible Verses

Genesis 50:20
"As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good . . . ."

Rev 3:20
“Look, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share a meal at that person’s side.”
John 11:35
"Jesus wept."
John 6:50-65
Bread of Life Discourse

Matthew 23:9 "Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven"
That verse means you should not honor a man like you honor God. Jesus didn't mean you couldn't call your dad or a priest "father."
In 1 Corinthians 4:15 saint Paul wrote, "I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel."

James 2: 14, 17, 20, 24, 26
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save you?
17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
20 Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.
