Tonight’s meditation: LET YOUR MAIDSERVANT BE THE SLAVE THAT WASHES THE FEET OF MY LORDS SERVANTS! Let us remember our places and our positions. We are rightly called His servants or servants of His servants. And so like Mary we serve in a hidden way; the Kingdom of God. She is hidden, as a humble servant and handmaid; seeking only to serve those who serve the Lord. We can learn so much from Mary, the blessed mother, on how to serve the Lord and His people. And in this context, Abigail, the wise servant of David and future wife, foreshadowed Mary. Remember the greatest among you will become the least, and the first will become last; as humble service is the marker of true greatness in His Kingdom. Shalom 🙏

Tonight’s meditation: YOU ARE UNDER MY PROTECTION! Just as David protected his men who stood with him, so Jesus protects His people. All those who stand by Him at the foot of His cross. Today we remember the passion, cross and death of Our Lord Jesus. May His precious blood ever be upon our hearts, minds and souls as protection, grace and life to all of us and our loved ones. Let us not come under the ban of death, but live by His blood shed for us! We adore you, O Lord Jesus Christ, and we bless you, because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world. Amen
Prayer by St. Francis of Assisi Tonight’s meditation: HE LOVED HIM AS HIS VERY SELF! Jonathon loved David with all his heart, even as his own self. Which is how we are to live according to the scriptures. Love your neighbor as yourself! What a great witness to true filial love and friendship. And so our Lord also loved us; even to the laying down of His own perfect life for ours! What a good friend we have in Jesus! We owe Him everything! So let us hold nothing back from Him in this next season. Let us also lay down our lives for Him. 🙏
Tonight’s meditation: GO, THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU! It is so nice to know that we have a friend in Jesus! He is with us and He will be with us wherever we go as He leads. This has been the theme and prompting that the Lord has been impressing upon me for some time. He wants us all to know very clearly, He is with us. And we can go forth in Him without fear into whatever He is calling us to do for His glory. Just like David who faced the Philistine Goliath with only a simple stone in His hands. That is all that was needed to take the giant down. Sometimes it is the simple things that you have at hand, that you are comfortable using, that the Lord is asking you to pick up to take down the giants of our day and times. Remember the battle cry of St. Michael the archangel, “Who is like God?” Let all creatures quake before Him! 🙏
Tonight’s meditation: It is no more difficult for the Lord to grant victory by means of a few than it is by means of many. Remember that the few who are with you trust in the Lord with all their hearts! Recall also where two or more are gathered in the Lords name; there He is in your midst! So if the Lord is with you; then there is nothing you need fear! He doesn’t need the many to do His will. Just the few, the willing ones and the sold out ones! Let us be counted among their company in Jesus name! Amen 🙏
Tonight’s meditation: IF YOU LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD! So much depends on listening; as in hearing and obeying! What good is it to hear the Lord and then ignore His counsel? It is like having a very powerful Friend who knows the end from the beginning, but you tell Him,
I can do this on my own. Such foolishness and pride! This is what we are like when we do not listen to the voice of the Lord! He has a plan and it is perfect; even if you don’t understand all the pieces of the puzzle; He does and He has it all Figured out! Your job and mine is simply to trust Him with it and stop trying to fix things that don’t need fixing! He has it! Unless He asks you specifically to do something and He has spoken that to you; just follow the commandments and keep your hand out of the cookie jar! Ok? I don’t know who this is for, but the Lord knows. Be blest, He loves you that much! 🙏 Tonight’s meditation: DO NOT STOP CRYING OUT TO THE LORD! Cry out to the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding! We live in really awesome times; times of flux and transformation; times of purification and stretching of one’s faith. We need to step up to the plate and take a swing at the bat, trusting in God to complete the play. Go forth and preach the gospel/ the good news; heal the sick and cleanse the lepers and cast out devils! We can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us! And He is always with us to guide and direct our steps! Remember to ask the Lord what to do as well as when to act. Do nothing without checking with Him first. He loves all of His children for that is first and foremost what we are: HIS KIDS! Rejoice in that! We have a good Father! Blessed Palm Sunday all! Amen 🙏
Tonight’s meditation: WHO CAN STAND IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD? Who can? We are sinners! So who can stand in His presence? Only those covered in the blood of the lamb. Those recognized to be His, claimed by His blood! No act of man can compare or even repair for our sins; only God. That is why no man can go to the Father except through the son, Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. Today submit your lives to Him totally, turn to Him so that He can give you the grace of repentance. Amen 🙏
