Today's Gospel...
John 21:15-19
After Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and eaten breakfast with them, he said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."
"Feed your kids!!!
Watch your kids and get off the computer!!!
Feed and take care of your husband...
Marriage is a sacrament...
embrace it!!!
FOLLOW ME!!!"
Thy will be done!!! +JMJ+

Big Hug from God
This morning I was in adoration and my big intention was gaining wisdom and strength as I send my oldest off to LIVE at a secular college!!! I just felt overwhelmed with the thoughts of my sweet daughter being thrown to the wolves!!!
I am not a big one for just opening my bible to see what God wants to tell me...but, I said, "Lord, I need to tell my daughter something. Please let me know what I need to tell her before she leaves for school!" I then opened my bible...flipped to the New Testament and BOOM!!! Right on the page where my eyes fell to was:
He said to him,“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart,with all your soul, and with all your mind.This is the greatest and the first commandment.The second is like it:You shall love your neighbor as yourself.The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
That was it!!! That was exactly what I wanted to tell her!!! My concern for her not staying close to Christ and her precious faith. My other concern is her living with 3 other young ladies whom we don't know, and all the stress that comes with friends and uncharitable situations!!!
This is exactly what I wanted her to know!!! Thank you LORD for this perfect word!!!
If it can't get any better...I also had the pleasure of getting to mass for the feast of the Queenship of Our Lady!!! As I sat there meditating on the first reading, I looked up to hear the Gospel proclaimed and guess what!!! It was Mt 22:34-40!!!
How great is that!!! I almost fell off my seat!!!
Than, to top it off...The Communion meditation was:Blessed is she who believes in the fulfillment of the Lord. Luke 1:45
That is my total desire Lord!!! To BELIEVE IN THE fulfillment of Your precious word!!!
