The Archangel Michael is our ultimate guardian angel. Michael leads the heavenly host into battle against the devil and his demons. He wins the war because Jesus suffered, died and rose again. Jesus ascended into heaven and now He sits at the right hand of the Father. Michael and all the angels are always ready to do His bidding. Therefore, the liturgy of the Sacrament of the Altar teaches us to pray and sing “with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven.”

Life is full of risks. How do we know which risk to take?

Jesus is our Good Shepherd. He tells a parable about a flock of one hundred sheep. When one of those sheep wanders away and gets lost – and that is bound to happen – the Good Shepherd searches for His lost sheep until He finds it. The ninety-nine sheep are precious to the Good Shepherd, and He brings the one lost sheep home to be reunited with the ninety-nine. Jesus makes it clear that each one of those hundred sheep counts. This is definitely good news for you.

It’s Fall Y’all. No it’s not September 20 or 21...but it might as well be. The school year has begun. The meetings and programs that have been in hiatus during the summer are now reconvening. In short, we’re going to be busy again, (although, some have never stopped being busy). Filling up our time, is not all that these activities are about. They can also be times of getting reacquainted with others.

Jesus showed us what strength of heart entails. How do we attain that kind of strength?
