  Beatitudes: Breaking Vicious Cycles of Anxiety

  The viscous cycle of anxiety is not the same as worry. Anxiety is the viscous cycle of insecurity.

  Abandonment to God stops insecurity.  

   

   

• A Healthy Dose of Determination

  
  
  21st Sunday Ordinary Time

  What can we learn from Christ from this particular gospel?

  1. Our determination is weak.  His is strong, so we need to share in His determination.
  2. We can't save others.  We keep trying to save others and get into trouble.  Sometimes we can take too much responsibility for others problems.  So, our Lord is teaching us that God saves; we can only help.

  That's part of what we can learn from this gospel.
  
  
  

• Beautiful

  
  
  Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
  
  In the bible, the king is majestic,  beautiful.
  
  How does beauty saves us,
  
  How is Christ the king, majestic on the cross?
  
  If Christ rules over our hearts, what beautiful thing happens inside us?
  
  Are we being carried away by a kingdom of false beauty  or carried along by the kingdom of true beauty?
  
  1 Pt:  It was not any cleverly invented myths that we were repeating when we brought you the knowledge of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; we had seen his majesty for ourselves. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.’ We heard this ourselves, spoken from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

• Does Church hate women?

  A Brief Reflection

  Help from the pastor

  Description

  In 2 minutes , I hope to take away a misunderstanding. It is short and sweet .

  It does not deny sins of people who misrepresented the church but it gives the picture of those who do represent the church!! That picture is lost in today's view!! It is incomplete but gives pause for appreciation of Mother Church!
