After all that life brings, one thing is certain.. God is faithful. Emptiness could be a part of God preparing you for something better in life and a way of strengthening your faith in Him. God can be your grandfather, father, friend or best friend. You are not alone in this journey. Be strong to not dwell on what’s missing but use it to fill someone’s emptiness that will also make you whole and live a life with a purpose. God bless! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoovIxkn0kW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e23colh505nx

God showers us with signs everyday. We just need to pay attention. He could send a message from a family, friend or even a stranger. He could provide you clues and occurences that push you to a certain direction. He can give you the energy to move a specific way. Simple activities like watching a movie or TV will speak to you in a different way. The uneasiness and no sense of peace is a clear sign that God is trying to get you to pay more attention to Him. If he’s stretching you from your comfort zone, don’t push back. These life changes might be a big part of his plan for you. God’s beckoning requires a response and change in our life. We sometimes ignore Him because change is the last thing we want to do. The reward of obedience is way better than staying where you are at. #beliefnet https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm9vXdWg-4v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o555v67vbcia

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. #MaundyThursday #Lent

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7 “ You do not have because you do not ask.” James 4:22 ..AND when you ask, you do not receive it because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures.” James 4:2 Lord, teach us how we‘re supposed to pray. #reflection #themissinglink #pray #lent

But the Lord says, “Do not cling to the events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already - you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water.” - Isaiah 43:18-19 Decide, Pray, Work, Love and Trust God. Do not doubt and be disheartened when your prayers are unanswered. God hears you. Something is happening whether you see it or not. Every time you pray, you’re advancing God’s purpose for you. #catholicchick

Translates: "I am Mary Immaculate". Mary, the mother of God, in the first instance of her conception (in the womb of her mother, St. Anne) was preserved exempt from the stain of the original sin by God's Grace - Pope Pious IX Immaculate Conception is celebrated nine months before her birthday, September 8. Happy Feast Day of Immaculate Conception 💙Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you.. #immaculateconception #catholic #feastofimmaculateconception #catholicchick (at Immaculate Conception Cathedral)

Today's gospel: THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus' story is very contemporary. It speaks a down-to-earth reality of the responsibility and being accountable to the boss for money or task. As a parable, the story is saying something more. The servants are the disciples entrusted of His work or mission while they wait for His coming. The parable speaks about discipleship: the relationship of trust and love between the master and the disciples and latter's commitment to fulfill the tasks and responsibilities entrusted to them. Reflection: Have we made the most of our blessings and talents by giving back, serving God and bringing the good news at church and online to our family and friends? #blessedSunday #LovingGod

Prayer brings peace to heart, mind and soul. #praytherosary

Lord, I long to hear Your whispers that warn me, direct me, and affirm me of Your comforting presence. Train me to hear Your voice, not the distracting ones that lead me astray. Then quiet down, My child, and listen for Me. I am the One who is beside you every moment of the day, providing direction, whispering affirmation, nudging you to show love towards others, pulling you back from harm. You need only to quiet yourself and listen to my loving voice. Listen for Me in the sound of a gentle blowing, a still small voice. (1 Kings 19:11-12). #godswhisperstoawomansheart

Better late than never.. Belated Happy Birthday Mother Mary! 💕 Thanks for always keeping me company, it makes me feel safe. I love you!

A beautiful flower I received when I was praying for one. It came from the floral decoration after a procession given by my Mom. I believe that this is special, from our Lady. This is huge, so rosy and blooming. Such beauty 🌷

"I am here, do not be afraid". God always makes His presence felt, especially to those who are close to Him. He makes a way or sends people to make sure that He's always there for us. When you are at your lowest, always remember the "Footprints in the Sand". He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and I will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testing. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then I carried you." God bless!

Dear Lord, don’t let me get too caught up in my daily tasks and the things of the world, so that I miss seeing you and hearing your voice. What you have to show and tell me are more valuable than anything else in this world. Please help me always be ready to receive what you have to give. Amen. #Godswisdomandways Prayer from Word on Fire Catholic Ministries
