The Recipe for Joy

God wants us to have joy. Stay close to God. Stay close to Mary.

We come with the worries, burdens, and concerns we have. He asks us what is troubling us and is always drawing us back into the faith.

Lent is not about us doing things for God. It is about God doing things for us and us learning to accept God in our lives.

Let’s learn from the example of Mary.

Make a New Years resolution to the a light in this world.

Do not be afraid of death. Jesus is here with us and he continues to guide us and shepherd us.

We must always come before the Lord in humility. Jesus came to call sinners. God loves us and he is willing to forgive us.

The story we are presented with is the incredible story of God’s love for you. You are not outside of the family or insignificant.

Give God permission to do what needs to be done.

Jesus is inviting us to follow him and to be part of his team.
