Father Jim Radloff
Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

(Mark 7:14-15) Jesus said, “Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.” Did that person cause my bad mood? Or did I allow that person the power to control my moods as if I was a puppet on a string? Time to cut the strings and take control of our responses so that outside influences do not wreck our good moods.
