“If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.” When we trust in God’s providence life reveals opportunities for grace and life. Too often we can feel the victims of circumstance, plowing through life by sheer force, white-knuckling the trials of life as if they are meant to break us. Imagine if we saw every day as a gift from God to grow in His life, to see obstacles and struggles as opportunities for growth? If we did, we would more readily ask God for help and receive it more quickly. Here’s the secret… God wants you to be filled with His perfect peace and life… yes. He wants your Joy and happiness… sometimes the struggles are meant to purify your life so that you can finally find it! Have a blessed day!

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular, for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen 🙏✨ This morning offering prayer from the Hallow app has helped me in my struggle to offer my first fruits, such as the first few minutes of each day, to our good and patient Lord 💛 Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

When you put your cares in God’s hands, He puts His peace in your heart.

May we all show kindness to our brothers and sisters and those less fortunate than we are, as we strive to be Saints in our lifetime. Remembering that Jesus says "I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
