The Church of the Blessed Sacrament
The Lord asks us each to come to Him and rest in Him. For the gift He longs to give each of us is greater than anything we could expect.
The Lord is encouraging us to endure hardship on the path to heaven. So take heart!
As we move forward in our lives, it is always important to stay close to Christ. We cannot know what God wants us to do with our lives without God, as He is the author of our lives.
Jesus is standing on solid ground, breathing peace upon us as he invites us to join Him around the fire of mercy.

We are called to be completely His. So we give ourselves to Him, and by becoming a gift to God, we become a gift to those around us.
No one has been challenged to love the way Jesus challenges Christians. Jesus tell us, that we should love God with All you have and your neighbor as yourself. Then He challenges us even more as He tells us to love one another as I have loved you.
Through Bartimaeus and his cry, we join him in his call of faith. The Son of David answered his prayer and responded with a call. Will you also respond when the Son of David calls to you?

We must reach out our hand to our loving God, who is the wisdom we seek.
Marriage is not always easy, and that is why we need God's grace. We don't want to turn away from hardship but instead turn towards it with God's grace.
What does Jesus feel and think about suffering? Christ has a mission against suffering as He comes to bring healing and victory.
The nearness of God and the gift of the law are one in the person of Jesus Christ.
How is God challenging us as He calls us to deeper communion with Him in heaven?
We are called to put aside foolishness and come to the Lord's table, where He has provided the Bread of Life.
We cannot follow Christ without Christ. That is why He comes to us.
The Lord wants us to move from former ways of thinking to Him. When we long for more, we take a step closer to the Lord and He calls us even deeper.
Marriage is the image of the Love of the Father, and the whole of society is founded on that union.
These stones that make up our Church are a sacred dwelling to our Lord. Our hearts should echo the cry of these sacred stones, "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord!"
God's grace leaves us with the love of the Father.
Grace is a real aid from God that we desperately need. Thank God for this gift that is freely given to each one of us.
Christ has come to establish what was forfeited by Adam and Eve: grace.
Not only does the Lord have the power to calm the storm, but He cares. He desires to be there for those He loves.
