✨️When life doesn’t go the way we mapped it out, it’s usually because God has something bigger—or better—in store.

​Here’s the difference:

​My Plan: Control every detail, play it safe, and avoid the uncomfortable.

​God’s Plan: Build character, open unexpected doors, and grow my faith.

​My Timeline: Right now.
​God’s Timing: When the moment is truly right.

​It’s easy to get frustrated when a plan falls through or a door closes. I experience this daily sometimes. But looking back, so many of those "unanswered prayers" or sudden detours were actually divine protection and redirection. That traffic delay avoided an accident or this outcome was actually so much easier.

​Trusting Him doesn’t mean we stop dreaming, setting goals, or putting in the work. It just means holding our plans with an open hand, knowing that the One who holds the blueprint knows what He’s doing. Would a good God offer us any less?

​"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." — Proverbs 16:9

​If you’re in a season where your plans feel upside down, take a deep breath, maybe take 3 deep breaths because God is still working behind the scenes. 🤍

Happy Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary! 💙✨

​Today, September 8th, we celebrate Mother Mary’s birthday! It’s a beautiful day to honor our Heavenly Mother, reflect on her loving "yes" to God, and ask for her intercession.

​Here are a few meaningful ways to celebrate her feast day today:

​🌹 Ways to Celebrate:
​Pray the Rosary: Dedicate a decade or a full Rosary for your intentions, peace in the world, or for your family.

​Offer Fresh Flowers: Place a bouquet of fresh flowers near a statue or image of Mary in your home.

​Attend Daily Mass: Offer your Holy Communion in thanksgiving for our Blessed Mother.

​Bake or Enjoy a Birthday Treat: Blueberries, powdered sugar treats, or a small birthday cake with blue candles are fun ways to mark her special day.

​Perform an Act of Charity: Reflect Mary’s tender love by checking in on someone in need or helping an earthly mama in your life.

​“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.”

We pray for all moms who are celebrating in Heaven, and those that are in the hospital. We love you!

✨️God doesn’t waste a single season, trial, or delay. The hard times, the quiet waiting periods, and the lessons that felt too heavy to carry are all part of a larger design. That is so hard to understand when you are walking through the trials.

He isn't just taking you through life; He is building your capacity, refining your character, and forging the strength you’ll need for what’s ahead.

​The pressure you feel today is often the preparation for the purpose you prayed for tomorrow. Trust the process, keep your faith steady, and know that what He is preparing in you is far greater than what you are currently going through.🩵

To all those who labor on this day, we pray for you!

Honoring Strength, Hope, and Eternal Compassion

​Today is a deeply meaningful confluence—a day dedicated to honoring widows alongside the Feast Day of Saint Teresa of Calcutta.

​Mother Teresa once said, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” Her life was a masterclass in seeing the unseen, comforting the forgotten, and holding the hands of those carrying heavy hearts.

​Widows walk a path paved with profound grief, yet paved equally with resilience, quiet courage, and enduring grace. To honor widows today is to acknowledge the love that survives loss, the courage it takes to rebuild life from heartbreak, and the sacred duty we all share to ensure no one feels abandoned or forgotten in their suffering.

​Let today be a reminder of the power of small, intentional acts of kindness. ​To every widow: Your strength does not go unnoticed. Your capacity to love after loss is a testament to the human spirit.

​To all of us: May we carry forward the spirit of Mother Teresa—not by doing grand things, but by doing small things with great love.

​Reach out to someone who is grieving today. Offer a listening ear, a warm meal, or a simple "I am thinking of you." Let us be the comforting presence that brings hope where sorrow resides.

🔥 Deacon's Mailbag Tuesday

📖 How to Choose and Read the Bible

✝️ What Kind of Bible Should I Get?
The obvious answer: get a Catholic Bible.

A Catholic Bible contains the complete canon of Scripture received by the Catholic Church, including the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament.

These books were part of the Greek Old Testament tradition (the Septuagint) widely used by early Christians. During the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther and later Protestant traditions rejected these seven books from the Old Testament canon. If you're interested in the history of the biblical canon, this is a fascinating subject to study!

📚 How Should I Read the Bible?

Remember: Catholicism is not “either/or” — it is “both/and.”

1. Know the Context
Don't begin by simply pulling out a random verse.
Choose a book of the Bible and learn:
Who wrote it?
When was it written?
Who was it written to?
Why was it written?
Read the introduction or preface to that book before beginning.

2. Read the Old and New Testaments Together
We read the New Testament as the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
We also read the Old Testament in light of the New Testament.

Ask:
How does this Old Testament passage point toward Christ?
How does this New Testament passage fulfill God's promises in the Old Testament?

3. Begin With Prayer 🙏
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your reading.
Pray for wisdom and discernment.
Ask God:
What are You trying to show me?
How are You calling me to grow?
How can I live this Word in my life?

4. Take Your Time
Don't feel like you have to understand everything immediately. Find a reading method that works for you. Read slowly and reflect.

The goal isn't simply to finish the Bible—the goal is to encounter God and have a relationship with Him. ❤️ Finally, Enjoy It!

Reading Scripture should bring joy, peace, and a desire to know God more deeply.

We will never exhaust the richness of God's Word.
This side of heaven, there will always be more to discover about:
God's love for us
Jesus Christ
The Holy Spirit
God's plan for our lives
