About

Hi, my name is Eric. I am a lifelong Roman Catholic & disciple of Jesus the Christ. My vocation as a husband and father is to lead our family to heaven. Life and our world can be quite messy per our ability to turn away from God’s love and the love for our neighbor with our selfishness and sinful behavior. Our call to Christian mission and fellowship is more profound than it ever has been. The goal for every Christian is one of sainthood where heaven and the beatific vision should be our goal. God wants to have a personal relationship with you & me through the second person of the Trinity, Jesus the Christ. How often do we pray? How often do we sit in the silence listening to the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit permeate our very being (1 Kings:19)? How often do we try to find the image and likeness of God in our fellow man and woman? How often do we ask our Lord to transform our very being and allow His grace to change us to becoming dependent on His great love? For myself and our family, it is a struggle with the “business” and hubbub of life’s practicalities. “Prayer and work” is a Benedictine adage. We must always be open to conversing with God in all that we do to have a personal relationship with our brother, friend and savior Jesus. Come Holy Spirit! Jesus, I trust in you. I hope that you might encounter our Lord in a more deep and profound way this day. Pax, Eric.
