GOD IS ALL IN ALL!

JMJ+OBT
Pax et Bonum!

GOD IS ALL IN ALL! Faith teaches us that God is All in All. Hope is realized when God is All in All. Charity, Who is God, is only truly present when God is All in All.

When Jesus says "repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God," those who live a live of Faith, Hope and Charity recognize that everything and everyone belongs to God. Where is Caesar anyway? Where are the rich and powerful men of old? What good does it do to conquer the whole world and lose your soul?

Turn to God now! Jesus is our Savior! Jesus is our Merciful Redeemer! Jesus loves you and He will help you if you open your heart to Him. Our Blessed Mother, Mary, will help you know, love and serve God and be happy with Him forever. Our Lady is the woman of faith, hope and charity.

We now pray that men and women of the world will help America turn to God by praying the following novena:

Please consider joining me in this Novena for our nation from October 27th to November 4th.

Our Lady of America Prayer Petition

In a few short weeks America will elect new leaders. Please join in this novena praying that America will choose wisely and respond to the requests of Our Lady of America.

Novena Prayer:

Our Lady of America, Lilly of Purity, intercede for our country during the coming elections. Since you are the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from the Most Holy Trinity a President and other political leaders who will support life, who will change the laws to make abortion in any form illegal, and who will protect the life of each individual at every stage.

Our Sweet Mother, intercede for us that our next President will be a person of God who will help the United States become a country of great purity and high morality. A country that will uphold family life and influence other countries throughout the world to love God above all, to serve Him and to live for Him alone.

Our Sweet Mother, time and again you have given us your gracious assistance and thus we humbly and gratefully acknowledge you as Queen of America. Intercede for us now, as we beg for the end of abortion in our country and for the uprising of a culture of life.

We place our hope and our confidence in you! Our Lady of America, pray for us and may Our Eternal Father shine His light upon this country and the whole world. Amen.

The Heavenly Banquet

JMJ+OBT
Pax et Bonum!

Our Father's Plan of Communion between God and mankind is described in terms of a wedding. Jesus is the bridegroom and the Church is the bride. The Holy Spirit gathers those who accept the invitation to Union with God into the Church. Everyone is invited to this Heavenly Banquet, but few are chosen. To be chosen we must love God with all our heart, soul, might and mind. To be chosen we must love our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God. We witness this love by keeping the Commandments and everything Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd, teaches us in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

When we live this way then we will be happy, holy and, God willing, reach Heaven. Our Good Shepherd leads us up the holy mountain to eternal happiness. There is no other way to have lasting happiness than to faithfully follow Jesus and His teachings in the Catholic Church. When we follow our own ways or listen to false "shepherds" then we stray, get hurt and never arrive at the happiness of the Heavenly Banquet prepared for us. Only those who faithfully follow the Good Shepherd as He speaks through the Catholic Church will find happiness.

It is up to each one of us to generously respond to the call to happiness, holiness and Heaven. Let us be rigorously honest and examine whether we have been faithful to the invitation and lived in such a way that we will be dressed properly for the wedding banquet. We must be clothed in Christ. In Him we live and move and have our being. We no longer live for ourselves. We live for Him who died and rose for us.

The Most Holy Eucharist is the foretaste of Heaven. Our lives are to be centered in the Most Holy Eucharist where Jesus is really, truly and substantially present. Jesus' body, blood, soul and Divinity are in the Most Holy Eucharist. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, nourishes us and refreshes us with and in Himself. The Most Holy Eucharist is the greatest gift any human person can receive. Do not be distracted from your destiny by chasing after other things. Do not be distracted by chasing after career, money, fame, success, honor, power or anything else that the world offers. Your destiny will only be realized by faithfully following the Good Shepherd.

To help us keep our focus and arrive at the Heavenly Banquet, Jesus has given us Mary as our model and Mother. Ask Our Blessed Mother to help you accept the invitation to Union with God and live in such a way as to be chosen by God. Ask Our Blessed Mother to help you keep your focus on the Good Shepherd and live in the Truth that will set you free.

JESUS IS OUR PEACE!

JMJ+OBT

Pax et Bonum!

Do you desire to know the peace of God that surpasses all understanding? This peace is the gift of God. We hear at every Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, just before receiving the great gift of Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist, Jesus said to His Apostles "I leave you peace, my peace I give you." JESUS IS OUR PEACE!

Peace is not just the absence of war, strife, contention, anxiety, or any other conflict. Peace is a Divine Person. Peace is Jesus Christ. The saying "No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace" is true. True peace is life in Christ Jesus. This is God's gift to us.

We must receive the gift. The gift is eternal and, thus, we must receive eternally. We need to continually receive the gift. We need to claim the gift with grateful affection to God. We need to hold onto the gift, and never surrender our Peace.

We must cultivate Peace in the vineyard of our hearts. The Holy Spirit, the gardener of our hearts, teaches us in Sacred Scripture: "your thoughts should be wholly directed to all that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is honest, pure, admirable, decent, virtuous, or worthy of praise. Then will the God of Peace be with you."

This week, and all the moments of our lives, we are to put on the mind of Christ, our Peace. Practice, continually, thinking of the true, good and beautiful. Think of God and the things of God. Rid yourself of anything and any thought that is contrary to God. Then will the God of Peace be with you.

Ask Our Lady, Queen of Peace, to know Jesus and to know Peace. Peace came into this world through Our Lady and Peace continues to come into this world through Our Lady. Receive the Peace of Christ and share the Peace of Christ.
