If
you live in the Northeastern corner of the United States you are
probably aware of Lyme's disease. One small bite from a deer tick the
size of the tip of a pen can change your life for the worse. In our
spiritual life skeptical cynicism can function in the same way. Just
think of the serpent's tactic in the garden, "Did God really say that? Ahhh that's not true, you won't die....."
 One of our friars had a sad encounter with a young man in our Newark neighborhood: "Hey there officer, I know that you're an officer. I know what you're about, officer." "I'm a Catholic priest!" "Whatever, officer..." Somehow skeptical cynicism was blinding that young man from encountering reality. Only God knows how he got that way. We all have blind spots which are often rooted in hurts and wounds (not to mention the skeptical cynicism so prevalent in our modern times). Today would be a great time to pray and ask for the healing power of the Lord to open our eyes to reality. Maybe the person we would rather avoid is a loving instrument waiting to deliver a blessing from God. + Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR Yonkers, NY ------------------------------ We need your help!

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!
