Tim iam praying for you god bless you always.
In the past, I have wondered why, “my Lord and my God!” Isn’t that redundant? Then I learned they have different meanings to me.......
* ‘my God’ for me is to acknowledge God is God (universal) Who created the universe and in charge of everything!
* ‘my Lord’ for me is to acknowledge God is Lord (personal) in charge of and over my life and everything!
I was one of those who acknowledged God as in ‘there is a god for those who need help,’ but I can do life on my own. You may call me an agnostic! Not until I come to know God and acknowledge He is the Lord of my life and every decision I make that I began a growing relationship with Jesus :-)
Lord Jesus, You are my Lord and my God!
Amen.
Lord I believe. Please keep my faith strong during these crosses that I am bearing right now. Let me give thanks for the many blessing and God’s grace.
My faith knows that he is in charge and I need to listen and forge ahead.
Thank You.
Amen. Thanks for this perspective Amy!!
Amen. Thank you Holy Father for this day and for today's Gospel. Thank you Lord for my faith, my life and for my family. Thank you Holy Father most of all for your great sacrifice and for the opportunity of forgiveness and Reconcilliation. Please Lord have mercy. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of Endless Glory. Amen

I'm sure every faithful Christian has a "doubting Thomas" moment. Lately I have made it a goal to ramp up my prayer life and to become more aware of Jesus' presence in my life. That's hard, and invites the spiritual warfare to ramp up as well. But Jesus forgave and blessed Thomas, and I have to remember he also blesses us when we have not seen but still believe. What a vast distance there is between doubting Jesus is with you when He is standing there in the flesh, and not recognizing that He is with you every single moment that you open yourself to His presence---or is there, really?
