Living Pentecost

May 16, 2018 by Andy Lesnefsky 5 Comments

The Holy Spirit can still seem like a mystery in many ways. This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost which we see as the birthday of the church.

It’s not merely a time to put on our proverbial birthday party hats and think about what happened many years ago. It is a moment for us to invite the Holy Spirit to be a greater part of our lives. It is a chance to wait upon the Lord with expectant joy.

May this Pentecost be a new and joyous celebration for you and your family!

Watch this week’s video featuring Bob Lesnefsky:

Keep praying with us:

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

Jesus and Caesar

March 19, 2018 by Andy Lesnefsky 2 Comments

SCRIPTURE – Today’s video is based on Mark 12:13-17. Here is an excerpt “So Jesus said to them, ‘Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.’ They were utterly amazed at him.”

REFLECT – It seems like we live in a time where political divisions are deeper than ever. Wherever we live and whomever our nation’s leader is, this is not our home. Heaven is. Let’s strive to reflect who we are in faith in all aspects of our life including politics, but never fail to forget who our king is.

SHARE – Go out of your way to make someone smile and say a prayer for them.

PRAY – Jesus, you are my lord, my savior, and my king. I want to make you first in my life and in my heart. Give me the grace to surrender to you. I pray specifically today for those I have disagreed with and ask for help to both forgive and ask for forgiveness. I give you today. Amen.

Latest Podcast Episode: You are a Prophet, and St. Anna Schaffer

In this episode, we look at the role of the prophet both in salvation history and in terms of our baptismal call.

G.K. Chesterton said, “in an upside-down world such as ours, the prophet is the one who stands on his head so that he might see things aright.”

The featured saint in this episode is Saint Anna Schaffer.

Teaching on Marriage

March 14, 2018 by Lauren Gates 5 Comments

SCRIPTURE – Today’s video is based on Mark 10: 1-12. Here is an excerpt: “But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

REFLECT – Our hearts were made for intimacy with God, and marriage is a sign of that intimacy. God longs for you with a deep thirst that only you can satisfy. For those of us who have experienced broken marriages, who are maybe fearful or cynical about marriage or love that lasts, know that God sees your pain, and He is right there with you in it. There is no wound He can’t heal, and no limit to the love He has for you.

SHARE – If you are married, do something extra to show love to your spouse today. If you are not married and wish to be so, pray for your future spouse. If you are neither of these, spend some time in silence with God and let His love fill your heart.

PRAY – God, heal our hearts, and heal our marriages. Show us Your love and the intimacy that You wish us to have with You. Show us how to truly love each other the way You do. Amen.

Jesus the Storyteller

February 25, 2018 by Andy Lesnefsky 1 Comment

SCRIPTURE – Today’s Video is based on Mark 4:2 “he taught them at length in parables”

REFLECT – What stories have stuck with you over time, and speak to your heart? Jesus uses stories to engage our imaginations and draw us into His narrative. What parables from the gospel of Mark is God using to draw you closer to Him today?

SHARE – Take time to read a parable with a friend or family member today. Share with each other where you see yourselves in the story.

PRAY – Jesus, thank You for the many stories You shared in Your gospel. Show me what message I need to hear in these stories today.

God Loves Sinners

April 9, 2017 by Lauren Gates 4 Comments

Thought for today:

Do you feel like God is “mad at you” because you’re a sinner? Are you doubtful that God loves you personally because of your sin? While God hates sin, He loves you. He knows we are sinners, and that’s why He sent His Son to save us. Don’t be afraid to show God your sin, because in doing so, God will pick you up and hold you in His arms like a Father, and heal the wounds caused by your sin.

Action for today:

Next time you get caught up in the lie of sin, and you feel shameful and want to run and hide, run immediately towards God the Father instead.

Prayer for today:

God, help me to know how big your heart is, and how great your mercy is. Be with me when I sin, and help me to run back to your open arms.

Quote for today:

“Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave.” – St. John Chrysostom (CLICK TO TWEET)
