NaCl Torch
After weeks of preparation – years actually – today was the day for the big house clear out. During the past 2 years, my siblings and I have been working hard at reducing the amount of estate items. We have kept some, sold some, donated a lot, and shared treasures with extended family and friends. […]
Militant Atheist
Today I met a couple of ladies after Mass to pray the rosary for the priest. As we gathered, a couple of them brought their husbands and one invited another friend. We introduced ourselves and the friend said he was a militant atheist, now searching for faith. I don’t know exactly what prompted him to […]
Faithful Priest
A friend of mine reminded me that 30 years ago, our mutual friend was ordained a Deacon. The celebration was in Rome, as that is where he was in seminary. She shared some pictures of the ordination and of our friend with his family with a huge smile on his face. There was also a […]
Guardian Angel Friends
Today is the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels. I listened to a couple of reflections on the scripture that talk about each of us having a guardian angel. I take comfort in knowing that I have a friend who is with me, and also in the presence of God. It is mind boggling, but […]
Strange Encounter
Today was the feast day for St. Therese of Lisieux. She is most known for her writings called “A Story of the Soul”, in which she outlines the path to holiness by doing small things with great love. It is encouraging to me because when I learn about the tremendous lives of the saints, I […]
Shared Faith Stories
I went to my most un-favorite places to go this morning – the dentist. It was just for a cleaning, but still. I chatted with the hygienist a bit before we started. She asked if I was doing anything special for the rest of the day. I told her I would be volunteering at the […]
Intercession of Archangels
Today is the Feast of the Archangels, one of my favorite days. I have always been fascinated by angels and have felt strength when praying for their help. When I was at my friend’s house today, we watched a couple of videos that talked about where the Archangels were mentioned in the Bible and their […]
All Coming Together
A couple weeks ago, my sister and I talked about her moving in. I was pretty excited as I don’t really like being by myself. We always shared a bedroom when we were growing up and have shared a living space a couple times since then. I feel like we know each other pretty well […]
Sharing the Load
My sister and I are together this weekend. She got the Hallow app not too long ago and we have been sharing podcasts that we enjoy with each other. This morning we listened to the daily reflection together. Then we played the trivia game, which we weren’t great at. We played the categories game and […]
Eating Well
As I have been helping out my friends, I had been doing some cooking for them and putting containers of food in their freezer. I realized that they weren’t really eating very well and tried to find ways to help with that. After the husband’s hospitalization, they have connected to a caregiving company and have […]
