I hope you had a blessed day either celebrating (virtually?) with the mothers in your life or remembering your mom if she has moved on to enteral life.  I know we all pray for God's blessing and joy on all the moms around the world.

I just wanted to reach out to all of you with a couple of inspirational nuggets that our fellow brothers have passed on to me to share with you.  I also wanted to get your thoughts on our next virtual gathering.  

I thought the gathering last Sunday went very well, but I recognize the timing may not have been the best for everyone.  At the bottom of this message is a survey on whether we should meet on the weekend or weeknight evening.  Please take a moment and take the survey.

Ron Ward shares the following short video of "the most powerful messages I have ever heard by a Christian much less a Christian President who was a Man of Faith.  
May God Rest his soul and inspire Us all in listening to it!"

Jerry Peruski shares this 25 min video "pertaining to Evangelization. This was produced by the USCCB Committee of Evangelization, 'Outreach to the Unaffiliated'".  It will get you thinking...

Gene Bigi sent me a video on Ben & Jesus, but I could not attached the video to this note.  Instead, I found the story posted in Facebook.  Please click the following link to read about what can happens when you bring God's happiness into your heart.

Finally, I hope you were able to view Fr. Ed's mass this weekend.  His homily reminds all of us to bring Jesus into our hearts and "Don't Worry, Be Happy!"

God Bless,
