I heard a song a few weeks ago while I was busy and distracted, as is so often the case. But the thing that caught my attention was the bagpipes I heard at the end of the song. I was aware of the melody, which was very sweet, but I did not hear the words. … Continue reading Your Time…
Prayer & Fasting: Who I’m praying for this week
After spending way too much time angry with people who "should" know better, but who continue to disappoint and frustrate me by their actions, I have decided it's past time to start praying and fasting for those who are so lost they think the wrongs they advocate or encourage are actually doing what is "right." … Continue reading Prayer & Fasting: Who I’m praying for this week
Homily and History
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
And I will give you rest…
Today's Gospel reading is from the Book of Matthew. It's a lovely quote from Jesus to His disciples.

And when we are "yoked" to Him, walking beside Jesus, tethered to Him and He to … Continue reading And I will give you rest…

Here are the lyrics and below that the official video. "Who stood with me in the fire? Who pulled me out of the water? And who carried me … Continue reading “It’s Always Been You”

I am so grateful to God and the women who organize these events for including me in the program. My hope and prayer is that … Continue reading Everyday Saints

"This is the time of fulfillment.The kingdom of God is at hand.Repent, and believe in the gospel.” - Mark 1:15 Repent Jesus said these words at the … Continue reading First Sunday of Lent
Some Encouragement for Today
In today's reading from the Gospel of Mark Jesus says the remarkable words, "For this purpose I have come." He is referring to His mission. He is to preach to all who have ears to hear, in His time and place, about the mercy and the salvation that only the Lord, His Heavenly Father, can … Continue reading Some Encouragement for Today
Holy Spirit
The third Sunday of Advent (13 December this year) is all about rejoicing! And it's the week we get to light the pink candle! We can see Bethlehem on the horizon. It's there, under that star, the manger where Mary will place her Baby Jesus in those famous "swaddling clothes!" She's a good mama already. … Continue reading Holy Spirit
