My latest entry is up on the Women in the New Evangelization website! WINE is a fabulous initiative to get Catholic Women together to learn and grow in their faith, and to evangelize to others who do not know God or the faith, even if they were raised in it! It happens, believe me! I … Continue reading “Jesus I trust in You”
Much Of You
So, a couple of days ago I talked about a prayer, a song, a saint, and a school that all were centered on Christ on the Cross. Well, today I heard the song below and it, too, seems to have been written while considering Jesus' suffering and dying on the Cross. And the reasons for … Continue reading Much Of You
Luke 7:1-10
When Jesus had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a servant who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his … Continue reading Luke 7:1-10
Holy Cross
Today in my Church we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I always think of my daughter, interestingly enough, when this day comes around on the calendar because she studied at and graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts about 10 years ago. They would sing Lift … Continue reading Holy Cross
The Reason for the World
I just heard a song yesterday for the first time. It's by one of my favorite Christian singer/songwriters, Matthew West. The lyrics are below. Appropriate that I should hear the song on 9/11, the anniversary of the terrorist attack that changed the world. In many ways, it was changed for the worse. But there is … Continue reading The Reason for the World
Something I read…
I read this today and I think it is spot on. If you are a practicing Catholic, please read and contemplate. If you're not, you can still read it to learn a bit of what we truly believe and try to live, with God's merciful assistance, something we call grace. Powerful and so relevant for … Continue reading Something I read…
How’d I end up here?
I'm going back to graduate school next week. Yikes! I am almost positive that this is what I should be doing. In fact, the only trepidation is my own lack of confidence in my mental abilities at this point in life. I'll be 58 in a few weeks. What am I thinking? I started a … Continue reading How’d I end up here?
Creed
In the mid-1990's Christian singer/songwriter Rich Mullins released this song based on the Apostle's Creed. It's a beautiful song and I am including the link to the YouTube video here. What do you believe? Can you defend that belief, if you have to? Can you share that belief as Christ wants us to do, so, … Continue reading Creed
“Pazzo d’Amore”
Today's Gospel reading includes this passage from Matthew 18:12-14 about the one lost sheep who the Shepherd goes in search of. In listening to this story about a shepherd leaving 99 other sheep undefended to chase down the one who is lost, we are meant to see just how much God loves each one of us. … Continue reading “Pazzo d’Amore”
Another WINE entry
So, a couple of Sundays ago, another of my posts was first shared on the Women In the New Evangelization blog site. And, because I am such a dope sometimes, I forgot to post it here, too! Thankfully, they archive all their old bloggers' entries and I was able to capture the link to share … Continue reading Another WINE entry
