“When I found your words, I devoured them; your words were my joy, the happiness of my heart, Because I bear your name, Lord, God of hosts.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ ‭ Blessing today was helping to lead a Bible Study for a group of high school students at my Pastoral assignment in Scituate Mass. 5 high school students put aside homework and video games at 7pm on a Tuesday night to come out to the parish and dive deeper into Sacred Scripture. Tonight we focused on the Gospel for Midnight Mass on Christmas.

Okay…. You asked for it! Here’s the challenge! 🫶 We need to start counting our blessings. The world is full of bad news — but we have the greatest News… Jesus who comes to save us! But… we need to announce it when it comes. 💪So here’s the challenge: Every day - create a new post under the challenge category and share a blessing you received that day… You get an extra point if you share a Bible verse! (Possible — 2 points a day) This is going to be an advent challenge… so the last day is Christmas! 😇Winner will receive an advanced copy of my book on prayer — currently in the works! And the challenge starts…. NOW! 🥹🙏🔥 Here’s my blessing: all of you - sharing your faith - loving your faith - ready to commit to growth in virtue! I’m grateful for this community!

One of the greatest blessings I enjoy is the ability to immerse myself in a beautiful book. I’m reading The Silence of Mary. Luke 1:38 “ I am a servant of the Lord; do unto me according to thy word.”

I had a couple of projects to do today and God gave me the time and ability to get them accomplished.. even though I was dragging my feet… Thank you God for all of Your help.. Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

What a blessing it is to do the little things with great love. After getting out of work at 1pm, I ran errands with my parents, attended a beautiful Mass, took my sister to work, and even helped my daughter bake. A full day, but my heart is full too. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (Love Chapter):Describes love as patient, kind, not self-seeking, and persevering—essential for family bonds.
