Surrender Novena
It has been a challenging couple of days. The surrender novena was recommended to me by a friend a couple weeks ago. It is beautiful and I have been praying it nightly before I go to bed. Each prayer concludes with, “O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!” (10 times) But, […]
Post COVID Ballgame
Today my son took me to a baseball game for my mother’s day gift. The stadium was not filled to capacity due to COVID and it was a little strange not to be crowded, but to me it was a good transition – especially since it was outside. It felt amazing to be out enjoying […]
Ever Available Presence

Through Suffering
Ever since I received my COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, I have had a headache. Sometimes it’s there in the background, other times it is throbbing. I was talking to my mom about it today and told her that every night when I go to bed, I think that maybe I’ll feel like myself again tomorrow. […]

Today I read a story about Blessed Solanus Casey who was a priest who served in Detroit, Michigan. He was known for helping to heal the sick and burdened through the intercession of Jesus Christ.
