The Last Supper

March 24, 2018 by Andy Lesnefsky 2 Comments

SCRIPTURE – Today’s video is based on Mark 14:22-24, “While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, ‘͞Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.’ “

REFLECT – We believe that the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus are present in what looks like bread and wine. This is the very Jesus who was crucified. The Eucharist is that love poured out for us. Will you allow yourself to receive that love today?

SHARE – Plan out when you are going to church during Holy Week and invite someone you don’t usually go to church with to join you.

PRAY – Jesus, help me to believe and understand the Eucharist more. Let me see the reality of your love for me. Help my unbelief. You are so good and so amazing. Let me remember your love throughout my day and help me to live boldly for you today. Amen.

Watch today’s video featuring Michael Gormley.

Jesus and His Family

February 23, 2018 by Lauren Gates 4 Comments

SCRIPTURE – Today’s Video is based on Mark 3:31-35. Here’s an excerpt “But he said to them in reply, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. [For] whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

REFLECT – How do we relate to our family? And who do we treat as our family? Oftentimes we take for granted the people who treat us as their family. Take a moment to reflect on who has been truly loving in your life to you.

SHARE – Tell one of your family members how they have impacted your life positively, ask them for prayer intentions and pray for them.

PRAY – Jesus, please help me to be the best family member possible, to love those you put into my life, and to have wisdom, patience, and peace in my home and in my family.

This is My Story

March 24, 2017 by Michael Gormley 2 Comments

Thought for today:

The goal of prayer is to let it occupy your whole life. A rosary, the liturgy, Scripture, spontaneous praise- all of this is meant to form you inside and out. We often think of God answering prayer in a very me-centric and narrow minded way, but God’s answer can come when we least expect it. When I prayed as a child, those Scripture meditations with the rosary formed the backbone of my conversion away from habitual sin. God is not bound by our “creatureliness,” so let Him be God and work on His time. He may not come when you want, but He is always on time.

Action for today:

Pray with another person today.

Prayer for today:

Father All-powerful, You hold my life in Your sovereign hands. Remind me that, by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, You desire my wholeness in You. For in You do I live and move and have my being. Amen.

Quote for today:

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” –CS Lewis (CLICK TO TWEET)

Be a Hero today – #ShareJesus:

What is Ash Wednesday?

February 28, 2017 by Lauren Gates 1 Comment

Lent is Here.

Thought for today:

Ash Wednesday is a reminder of what is temporary, and what is permanent. Are the problems I’m upset about today worth my time and energy? Am I focusing too much on this temporary world rather than making my soul ready for eternity?

Action for today:

Invite a friend or family member to come to mass with you today. Don’t be afraid to wear your ashes in public (at the store, at work, or at school) because it’s a great conversation starter!

Prayer for today:

Jesus, help me to journey closely with you in the desert over the next 40 days. Show me how I can be a better version of myself this Lent, and turn my focus from the world to heaven.

Quote for today:

blog post #sharejesus Michael Gormley

“Lent is a new beginning, a path leading to the certain goal of Easter, Christ’s victory over death. This season urgently calls us to conversion.” — Pope Francis (CLICK TO TWEET)

Be a Hero today – #ShareJesus

Our heroes are people who take risks each day to share their faith. Here’s a simple idea to help you do that: Ask a friend to do something during Lent with you, such as reading a spiritual book together, going to Adoration once a week, doing some kind of service work, or simply just praying together every day.

Have you checked out our Podcast?

Each week we look at the life and example of a different Catholic hero/saint! This week’s podcast is about St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy of Jesus. Listen on the website here, or on iTunes here.

Get to Know God

February 19, 2016 by Michael Gormley 6 Comments

Michael Gormley #ShareJesus Get to Know GodSeeing Jesus in the Poor is difficult because you want Jesus to come to you like you already are. We want a safe Jesus, but He’s not safe, especially not to our pride, self-conceit and other sins. Jesus is always upsetting the tables of our heart when we convert His dwelling into a den of robbers instead of a temple of His glory. We don’t like that. We also don’t like our comfortable “lifestyles” threatened by self-sacrifice. I hate that! I love my Netflix and HuluPlus and YMCA membership and all the other options that being rich gave me.

Rich? If you own a computer, a car, and rent/own a shelter with indoor plumbing, you’re rich when compared to the rest of the world. But we don’t feel rich, do we? That’s because we don’t compare ourselves to the world, or to the poorest of the poor, because we aren’t near them. We compare ourselves to the people we surround ourselves with, and we can tend to feel just in the middle of that particular bracket.

Jesus is inviting us into a way of seeing and comparing this tremendous wealth with His divine poverty. “For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2Cor8:9).

4 Ways to Take This Offline:

  1. The next panhandler you see, do not give him or her money. Have a conversation. Pray with him/her. And go and get a pizza together.
  2. Read Luke 6:20-26 for a fuller understanding of Christ’s views of wealth and poverty.
  3. Pray the Fragrance Prayer of Mother Teresa. (http://humblehandmaid.com/mother-teresas-fragrance-prayer/)
  4. Visit a nursing home, a prison, or a college dorm filled with Freshmen. Those three groups were considered the loneliest people in America.
