To Bind and to Loose

God has given us real authority to make decisions in our lives, and the decisions we make heaven will not overrule.

When God places a fire in our heart, we cannot hold it in.

God sees in us a treasure that is hidden from others and perhaps even from ourselves.

When we do not know how to pray, the Spirit of God prays for us.

If we take our burden and give it to Jesus, it becomes his burden and he will help us carry it.

Jesus calls us to follow him, even over the objections of our family.

Since Christ died for us while we were sinners, we should have confidence that sin cannot separate us from God’s love.

The question is not how often we receive the Eucharist, but do we taste it when we do?

No matter how difficult or divisive our situation may be, the power of God is greater than the forces that attack us.

Whoever we are, we belong to Jesus. Whatever happens to us is his concern because he is our shepherd.

We need to know that the power of Jesus is greater than any challenge that life places before us.

When we find ourselves fixated on the past, like Martha, we must allow Jesus to turn us around.
