To paraphrase the homily from Easter Mass, Love died on Good Friday, was silent on Holy Saturday, and returned to us on Easter Sunday when Christ rose from the dead. His sacrifice for our salvation was the most amazing gift ever given. He gave all, for all, and that gift is always there, but aContinue reading “He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!”

Day 31 ~ Waiting
A good day to you all. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go…keeping it brief today after 2 days away from blogging. In John 5- I relate to the man awaiting healing at the pool of Bethesda…I long to be healed in body mind and spirit. Jesus, when your will brings suchContinue reading “Day 31 ~ Waiting”
Day 29 ~ Fiat
Veni Sancte Spiritus…Come Holy Spirit! Oh Blessed Mother what a fine example you are of willing and sacrificial obedience and surrender to the will of God.

Day 22 – Envy
Hi there! Today’s readings included the story of Israel, and his son Joseph and his brother’s. Envy took a toll on that family, as it does many. For years the deception led to a separation which was heartbreaking to the father. Eventually the truth came out, but not until after much hardship and a reunionContinue reading “Day 22 – Envy”

Day 16 Pray for your Enemies
Wow, today’s gospel is a tough one. Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. In society today it seems more and more challenging to know who is a friend and who an enemy…so many seem to be cancelling or flat out rejecting those who don’t believe the same as they do. On some level,Continue reading “Day 16 Pray for your Enemies”

Day 9 – Change can be good!
Every day, challenging or not, I see God’s graces at work. Little glimpses of heaven show themselves in both common and unexpected ways. A common way, is the smile of a child, kindness of a stranger, completion of a task, or simply getting up in the morning and facing the day. Today I was blessed,Continue reading “Day 9 – Change can be good!”
