I ask for support in not shirking my responsibilities — to know myself better and to trust in God's love for me, so that I won’t be tempted to shirk responsibilities.

Note: A big thank you to Fr. Paul Sheller for today’s beautiful and insightful reflection. God bless

Last week, I requested prayers for J.W. She was gravely ill after a stroke and while battling cancer for a second time. Please continue to pray for her and her family. She was praying to be out of pain. God heard her prayers and all of the prayers being said on her behalf and took her home early Tuesday morning. Thank you for your wonderful prayers. Please keep praying for her. God bless you!
