Good for what ails you

Dont forget the wine (take 2)

Always remember the first miracle. Never seemed that important. I mean they just ran out of vino. Not for our loving Father. He knows everything we need. He wants to help you with your daughter's wedding, your sons first car, your wife's 50th anniversary gift, your nephews school fees, your upcoming gas bill, the university fees, the mortgage. Sure we don't have to be rich but I know we don't have to be poor. So don't be afraid to ask God for money to help you shoulder life's financial burdens. If anyone tells you differently tell them to go away.In exchange economies money is more often necessary than not, in helping others. Churches cost money, School uniforms are expensive, petrol isn't cheap, the water company needs payment and there is also the cost of that upcoming wedding. He will provide, don't forget the first miracle.

Dont forget to pray

In the name of the Father who loves me and the son Jesus who helps me and the powerful Holy Spirit that changes me. Amen.

I can hear you singing to me in my sleep

I recently heard an old song of the above title. When it first came out I think its fair to say I wasnt as close to God as I am now. Now the song has a different connotation, Now its about him and me. How wonderful is God that he whispers to us in the middle of the night. How sweet the music he makes.

Merry Christmas

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to.
John 14:27

Pray your worries away

Why do we fret when we know God still answers prayers? Maybe one day I won't. In the meantime feel free to light a candle in the chapel.

Life is short....

Two Jesuit novices both wanted a cigarette while they prayed. They decided to ask their superior for permission. The first asked but was told no. A little while later he spotted his friend smoking and praying. "Why did the superior allow you to smoke and not me?" he asked. His friend replied, "Because you asked if you could smoke while you prayed, and I asked if I could pray while I smoked!"


Prayer is the reason why some people dramatically forge ahead in their lives while others simply “tread water.” The power of simple, sincere, consistent praying is electrifying. Jesus told us that if we ask, we shall receive.

Truly such power is undoubtedly a most generous gift of a loving God. Thankfully we all receive this gift and because God loves us all, we receive the gift of prayer equally.

Yet how tragic to go through life leaving the gift of prayer unused! Like possessing a rich inheritance in a Swiss bank account and never drawing upon it.

Unfortunately some people never call on God, or they call only in times of emergency and then go back on their “merry” way. They are sadly unaware of the magnificent things God has in store for them if only they would reach out to him in prayer on a regular basis.

In prayer God comes and always helps us. We simply place our worries, cares and needs before God and ask for help. Here God welcomes our slightest word or cry, our smallest effort.


Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened

Matthew 7:7

Life is short-PRAY HARD.
