“The most deadly poison of our time is indifference. Let us strive, therefore, to praise Him (God) to the greatest extent of our powers.” -St. Maximillian Kolbe

May 15 is the feast of Saint Isidore, patron of farmers. Farmers face lots of challenges these days. Let us pray for them and their noble work. O Good Saint Isidore, you served God in the fields with diligence and prayer. We ask your intercession for all those who till the soil to provide food for our tables, especially the farmers of our community. Ask Jesus to bless our fields and flocks, that we may have a bountiful harvest. Keep our hands and bodies strong, and our hearts filled with gratitude for the fruits of the earth. Amen.

O Sapientia O Wisdom of our God Most High,
guiding creation with power and love:
come to teach us the path of knowledge!

“Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.” - St. Francis de Sales. Let’s get prepared!

Merry Christmas to all! “Arise, all ye nobles and peasants; Mary invites all, rich and poor, just and sinners, to enter the cave of Bethlehem, to adore and to kiss the feet of her new-born Son…Let us enter; let us not be afraid.” -St. Alphonsus Liguori

📈 AI - It appears more people are asking what is the specific corporate use case and when will it start to make money. I have been wondering for a while now. Scattershot investing is misplaced. There will be winners. Focus! #ai #finance #tech #invest wsj.com/finance/stocks/the-s…

🚀 The AI boom is exciting, but with so many new startups, it’s starting to feel like a bubble. Long-term success will come from quality companies with focused, sustainable business plans. I’m a big believer in AI’s potential, but as with all tech, it takes time to see who the real winners are. Beware of those just chasing the hype! #AI #InvestSmart #LongTermVision
