A quick update - The CMCS Fall Appeal: Only support from those who value our work can keep this apostolate going.
We need to raise $800.00 to function debt free the CMCS Apostolate and online ministry through January 2025, as well as provide seed monies for our live Forum next spring.
So far 45% of this goal has been met.
Our online outreach ministry is free to access, but not free to make.
And if you cannot give,
please pray.

Weather Illuminated Clouds above the Trees. As I rise up to each passing new day, I’m not only thankful for the gift of the beauty of this world, but also thankful to God the giver of this gift. Copyright 2018 Frank J Casella - frankjcasella.pixels.com |

Jesus stated, “Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”
As followers of Jesus, our lives are a gift from God. How we choose to use our lives is our gift back to Him. I’ve come to understand this through my experiences. Here are some reflections and the lessons they taught me…
As a business owner, how often do you focus on closing a sale rather than on providing real benefit and value?
When you encounter someone in pain, do you reach out to help and pray for them, or do you turn away?
When you enter a room, does your love leave an impression on those present?
As a man, how frequently do you engage with a woman, viewing her as an ‘object’ rather than as a fellow human being—a daughter of someone else and a child of God?
As Catholics, we are called to give of ourselves without expecting anything in return. When we act with a pure heart, we acknowledge the authority of Jesus, and God will reward us in ways aligned with His divine plan.
“Give, and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” – Luke 6:38
You cannot outgive God. Don’t even attempt it. Give from a place of purity, and it will be returned to you many times over, often in unexpected ways that will meet your true needs |
