The Live Version
“Jesus Christ Superstar” has always been one of my favorite musical scores and shows. I didn’t catch the new Live version on Easter Sunday, but I did record it. My mom and I watched it tonight. After a few minutes, she remembered how modern it was and not sure if she wanted to continue. But, she […]
Not All There Is
The scripture I read today was about Mary of Magdala’s encounter with the risen Jesus Christ. Then I read the beautiful meditation written by Bishop Robert Barron. He talked about how we can live our life with the thought that this world is all there is. We “live our lives with the reasonable assumption that […]
Joyful Perseverance
My son has a good friend that he has known since high school. They ended up going to the same college as well and have stayed in touch as they went their separate ways. The friend joined the military and has been doing some training about 45 miles away. The two connected a couple of […]
Influencing Lives
Lent is over and Easter has arrived. My parents, sister, and I went to the early Mass. We were grateful that we arrived in plenty of time to get seats. Evidently after the church filled up, they seated the overflow crowd in the lower level where there was a live feed set up. I really […]
Saturday Prayers
Today is Holy Saturday. I think the Easter Vigil Mass is the most beautiful of the year. Although it is also the longest. My parents and I contemplated briefly about going, but figured it would be too much. At this Mass, new people are brought into the church. A young woman I know from years […]
Powerful Symbolism
Good Friday at church tonight was beautiful and moving. I love the symbolism in every detail. The silence broken by chanting, darkness changed by two lit candles, carrying and venerating a cross, an empty altar draped plainly for the Eucharist that was consecrated the day before and then escorted out, and finally exiting the church again […]
Common Passover
I was happy to go to Holy Thursday Mass tonight. The choir started the evening off right with a beautiful song. The music was exceptional all night. The scripture reading was the story of the Last Supper, when Jesus was celebrating the Passover meal with His apostles. I have heard these words before. As I […]
Sleeping Day
Over the past couple of days, I have been making and taste testing lots of goodies. It was bound to catch up with me as I don’t do well with too much sugar. Today the upset stomach and migraine set in. This morning’s meteorologist said it would be a good napping day as the thick […]
Speedy Recovery
Last week I found out that a friend’s brother has been having serious health problems. He has just been moved out of ICU. My friend reached out on social media asking for prayers. His condition seemed to improve rapidly after that. He should be home by the end of the week. I Found God today […]
Easter Eggs
I have been making Easter candy the past couple years. I enjoy finding new recipes and new ways to put them together. My son, sister, and I talked about what kind they wanted this year and decided on coconut, peanut butter, and creme filled eggs. I got all the ingredients along with milk chocolate, dark […]
