I just finished watching Bishop Robert Barron’s most recent Sunday homily. It usually takes me a few days after they’re posted on YouTube to find the time to watch them. I need to really focus, listen, and digest. There’s always much to contemplate! I have included the link so you can watch it if you … Continue reading Homily and History
Jesus our Hope
"Share with God what is on your heart and seek to make Him your hope this Advent season." - Hallow App's Pray Advent Challenge for Friday, December 3, 2021 I just finished listening to today's reflection. It was great! I highly recommend this wonderful app for every day, not just during Advent or Christmas. As … Continue reading Jesus our Hope
Swimming upstream
I can't believe it's already Wednesday in the first week of Advent and I haven't weighed in yet. It's a time of watching, waiting, and preparation for the coming of our Savior. Jesus followers are swimming upstream as we will be for the next several weeks. Maybe we always are, in many ways. But at … Continue reading Swimming upstream
Nothing Without God…
"When you sit down to eat, pray. When you eat bread, do so thanking Him for being so generous to you. If you drink wine, be mindful of Him who has given it to you for your pleasure and as a relief in sickness. When you dress, thank Him for His kindness in providing you … Continue reading Nothing Without God…
“If We Only Knew…”
https://youtu.be/CJwtBm52TsA I am sharing this video because this song is so powerful and so true! As one who prays the Divine Mercy chaplet often, this song resonates with me in a very profound way. Divine Mercy is what God offers us every day of our lives. But we don't all know this is the case. … Continue reading “If We Only Knew…”

I try to do what God asks of me, to say yes to all His invitations to act when it’s for His glory and to advance His Kingdom. So here goes… To illustrate the magnificence of … Continue reading Oceans of Grace
Give Him Everything
I was presented with a gift by a young lady I had the pleasure of meeting last week. We happened to be at the same place at the same time for two completely different reasons, but such is the way of Providence. She gave me a little book that contains the wisdom of St. Alphonsus … Continue reading Give Him Everything
Do you know the story?
I wish more people knew their story. It's a great story of salvation. It needs to be told so that everyone can know that each one of us matters. Very much. There is a Creator who is not just the "supreme being." He's actually not a being at all. This Creator is the sheer act … Continue reading Do you know the story?
Thoughts on Christians
I shared this in a comment section of David French’s Sunday Dispatch column, The French Press. My response got several “Likes” so I decided to post it here, too! Jesus tells us to love one another. And New Testament Scripture basically says “they’ll know we are Christians by our love.” If we Christians really lived … Continue reading Thoughts on Christians
“The one who treated him with mercy.”
The above quote is the response to a question Jesus asks after sharing the parable of the Good Samaritan. The lesson here is that we are all called by God to care for our neighbor. And who is our neighbor? The question that instigated Jesus's parable reveals that everyone is our neighbor. Friend, family, stranger, … Continue reading “The one who treated him with mercy.”
