I admit, I am a football fan. One thing that I realized over the years watching football is the energy and the focus of the media and fan base. I often wondered what Christianity would be like if we applied this same energy in sporting events into our faith. It would be hard to imagine although it can be done with much love and faith. We are all called to evangelize and win souls for Christ. Evaluate yourself and see what your priorities are and in what areas you spend most of your time. Let us begin this New Year with the Holy Spirit and accept the graces and go forth and evangelize without fear but with love. God Bless

Living a Christian family life today presents a real challenge. Catholic couples must face up to the fact that the world does not make living a Christ-centered life easy. One is considered “weird” if they do things differently from the so-called worldview. Our Lord wants us to be different. We must monitor the filth on television, we must be careful in viewing on the internet and we must raise our children to be Godly children. The world can suck them in like a vacuum cleaner and we may lose their souls for all eternity. If you are a young couple with small children no matter your past and your past thoughts of what you thought was right and what you think is wrong today, you still can change the lives of your children by bringing them up in a Godly home and atmosphere. Now, you have to be prudent and not force religion and turn them away, but you must fight the devil for their souls because he wants them and it is up to who cares the most, you or him? Go live for God.
Stay Focused

I was talking to a man the other day about family life and marriage. His marriage has fallen to the wayside but hope and trust in God may bring some resolutions. I pray for this and for them. Some of the main concerns was lack of focus among the men. With this said, I must rephrase and say lack of proper focus. A man can focus on many toys, hotrods,fishing,hunting,sports,television etc. yet sometimes they push the responsibility of taking care of the family to the wife. A wife needs tender care and someone she knows that will defend them and care for them and care for the children. Sometimes a husband makes a great father but not a great husband. We must also note that the wife has a certain role to play in the marriage if she constantly nags the husband to death this does not solve any marriage problems. They must become one and be able to communicate needs and wants from both sides without arguing. This sounds like a difficult task in many marriages but it must be done in order to work out differences. May GOD grant you the wisdom and grace and perseverance to succeed in marriage and have a happy blessed home. The society is only as strong as the marriage committment and you can see that the society and marriage are in dire need of reformation.
The Devil Attacks

It seems as though right when we think we have everything in control something unusual happens. A huge barrier may be thrown our way. It is Lent and we should continue to offer up our sufferings for the conversion of sinners and the poor souls in purgatory. Many strange things have happened to me this lent. It seems that every time I turn my head something happens. It may be a small situation or a large problem. We must remember when Jesus was trying to be tempted in the Garden of Gethsemane and he continued to stay true to His word and the will of His Father in Heaven. This should be our focus when the devil attacks us. Stay focused on the prize of our own resurrection and are passage into eternal life with Him. God is love, God is mercy. Yet, we must fight within ourselves to overcome our daily trials in order to live this reality of Heaven.
