I am a retired special education teacher and a cradle Catholic. I grew up in a home where the Rosary was prayed every night as a family. My grandmother did not accept any excuses for the family not to gather and pray the Rosary. As a result, I have been blessed with a strong devotion to Our Lady, the Woman Clothed in the Sun, whose job it is to lead us to her most beloved Son, Jesus. Although, not always strong in the practice of my Catholic faith, I have been blessed with the graces to return to the faith of my parents and grandparents. A faith that is strong and rich in the belief of the triune God, Mary, the Mother of God, the saints and our beloved angels. A faith that is strong and rich in the heritage of the Apostles and martyrs. A faith that is rich in mysticism. A faith that is rich in the love of God who is also the great I AM. I have weathered many storms in my life. Most of them, as I look back, I could not have survived without the infinite love of God. I praise God and I thank Him for His love for me.

Loving God or The Thorny Road Home

Loving God or The Thorny Road Home

Mother Angelica said that "Saints are ordinary people who love Jesus." Jesus told us that if you love Him, you will keep his commandments. Love is active. We cannot just say, "I love Jesus," and expect to attain heaven. No, we must also keep His commandments. We must love God above all else, and we must love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

Two Rosaries

Two Rosaries

I was flying home from Chicago and was seated next to a young black man. We began to converse, and he told me that he was on his way home from Washington DC. He had been there visiting his girlfriend for the weekend. Of course, he was grinning from ear to ear. He said that they had a wonderful weekend together.

Washing Windows on a Beautiful Autumn Day and the Examen

Washing Windows on a Beautiful Autumn Day and the Examen

I have to struggle to reach the top of the windows in my kitchen, but the view is beautiful! Most of the colors are gone now. Most of the trees are bare, but the beauty of the afternoon remains. Unlike many fall days, the sun is warm and bright. There’s a cool breeze in the air, but that’s to be expected this time of year. Actually, it’s a surprise that we don’t already have snow on the ground.

A Soul in Purgatory

A Soul in Purgatory

She didn't remember how she got to this ledge. She knew she was in a huge, dark place, and that she was on a ledge, but she didn't know any thing else. There were no memories beyond this moment. All she knew is that it was dark and cold here. She stood on a ledge, a precipice, but she wasn't afraid of falling. She was confused.

If you could, Would You?

If you could, Would You?

If you could be told the date, time, place and method of your death, would you want to know? Would you want to know if you would face death alone or be held in the warm embrace of your family? Would this knowledge impact your life? Would you seek to change?

Thoughts on Prayer and Adoration

Thoughts on Prayer and Adoration

To sit, even for a single moment, in the Presence of God during adoration or in the tabernacle, is the source of amazing graces for our souls. Even the angels cannot measure the graces poured into our hearts and souls for they are too many to count. In these times when our world has gone crazy and our hearts are troubled, we need to humble ourselves in the Presence of God and say,

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?

Together, St. Francis and his friars would travel through towns and the countryside, preaching the gospel. A stigmatist, a healer, a man who preached to the birds who listened to him, a miracle worker, and he lived in peace. He resisted many changes to his order. When they were approved, he became very sad and depressed. His peace left him.
