Father Jim’s Daily Reflection
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.

(Matthew 11:28) Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”
When my mother would say, “Come here!” it was not a request . . . it was a command, most often to keep me out of harm’s way! Sometimes it takes a command to do what we need to do, and Jesus is commanding us to come to Him with our burdens so that He will give us the rest we need.
