Plan away from indifference
Reader, who requested this specific blog, sorry for the delay. You seem to be ready and are choosing to make some plans for the future and have decided it is time to be happy. In the Catholic tradition, priests dress up in colored vestments when they...

I am but one person
I am but one person. I am but one kind of Catholic, one kind of Christian, one kind of mother, one kind of sister, one kind of sibling, one kind of wife, and one kind of God-fearing person. This world is but made of many one persons. I am one...

Be addicted to the goodness in your day
There are moments in my life when I am bored. Yesterday, I noticed that I had nothing exciting to do but I was not bored. Then I asked if I had nothing exciting to do, why did I not feel bored? I just know that I was in the present, yesterday. What...

Dwelling on the Negatives
Oftentimes, in my mental illness, I dwell on negative things. I have a story to tell. My daughter had spent three months working on a painting for her friend. The painting was very detailed and required many hours of work in between doing other things in...

It’s 12:46 a.m. I cannot sleep. One priest had told me to be careful of what I say when I talk to other churchgoers in the group. It is a matter of confidentiality, which is often exclaimed. However, I feel that it would be helpful if I give concrete...

John 6:44 The Bread from Heaven
Brother Emmanuel shares: Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.” John 6:44. God’s voice and His invitation are quite different. They are found in interior silence. However, we need...

I needed this
As a grateful writer to my readers, I recommend this 45:08 minutes YouTube video The Purpose of Evangelization. This is a forum of the type of sources I listen to and learn from. This is what I got from this video. . . The eagerness I wanted to get to this blog...
