"If death reigned through the disobedience of one and only one person, how much more will there be a reign of life for those who receive the grace and the gift of true righteousness through one person, Jesus Christ..."

TOday's gospel was about the blindmen who no one wanted to give the time of day to, until Jesus came. To be honest i didnt realize the analogy of the man being 'blind' referred to our spiritual lives. So are we blind? Its a question we need to ask ourselves, 'are we blind?' If so how can JEsus heal us? The blindmen had an overwhelming desire to be healed as it proves it when he yells out 'master heal me' twice, on top of that, his faith in JEsus is total. That is enough to heal him. Likewise in our own spiritual life, a strong desire to follow JEsus all the way and a great faith in him can cure us of our blindness(arrogrance, pride, selfishness, hate, etc.) Though how can we obtain this faith? The only way to obtain this 'cure' is obtained through prayer.

Fr. Paul mentioned today how this little boy went to confession and well he made his 1st communion like two years ago, but yet didnt even know his prayers. How sad is that. It made me realize how important my role as a teacher to help kids like these remember these prayers. It also made me realize the important role parents have as well. Fr. said families arent praying together anymore. Theyre too caught up on whas happening on the TV. The TV is taking over teh community life. The sad part is the TV is taking place of the blessed sacrament in many homes. There was one time whurr Fr. told one family, 'why dont you juss put some candles around it and then kneel down and pray in front of it.' Wow talk bout harshness!

THOugh i see that happening w/many young kids today. Especially today, they can name you what channel and wha time a certain show is on, yet they cant even recite back the "our Father.'
So imma bring up that issue this week at SRE, and encourage the kids to spend some time in prayer w/their parents at home. Even if its juss praying the rosary, cuz there cant be a future if parents arent teaching Jesus in the home.

Hightlight of the day:Spending time at home w/the fam bam tribe. We went to the mall today and it was good stuff. Trips to the mall w/the parentals can be fun! haha I got a couple of items today shoppin around the mall. The mall was freakin packed juss how 915am mass was. Praise God!

"ANd i heard of true loves that needed each other, didnt argue, fuss or fight..."im done, im out God bless!
