Pray With Confidence
As I’m trying to maintain my prayer life especially during Lent, I read a quote today that inspired me: “Pray with great confidence, with confidence based on the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of […]
Mysterious Piano Player
Today I came across a very touching video about a mysterious piano player. A young man who lived in an apartment suddenly started hearing a new neighbor play the piano. They corresponded by notes a couple of times. The young man got out his keyboard and starting playing as well. Through their note writing, they […]
Looking Back
Tonight I decided to go back and copy some of my past posts. First of all, I can’t believe I have been writing just about every night for 8 years – including the 2 years I wrote for the church I worked for which is how this whole thing started. There were plenty of memories […]
Living Your Call
Today I got a call from a friend. We talked about all kinds of things for quite a while. At one point she spent a few minutes just encouraging me. It wasn’t a formal prayer, but I felt God speaking to me through her as my eyes welled and heart filled. She talked about how […]
All The Same
Since today is Friday, we decided to pray the Stations of the Cross. We found a video that guided you through the Stations in the Holy Land. The participants were from all around the world and from several different religious orders. My dad made the comment that even though there were so many different people, […]
Bagpipes and Brass
My sister shared a link with us for a concert by the Denver Brass who she had seen before. We tuned into the live performance tonight and brought up the program online to follow along. Being close to St Patrick’s day, the brass group was accompanied by Colorado Celtic bagpipes and drums. My parents recognized […]
“Crossing the Bridge”
I have recently been taking a new caregiver’s class. Tonight I watched a TedxTelAviv talk that was shared. It is an older video, but I thought the message was worth pondering. The psychologist Hedy Schleifer talked about relationships existing in the space between people – the sacred space. She discussed the importance of “crossing the […]
Life is Not Mine
Over the past 3 days, my parents and I have been watching a parish retreat. The priest offered a different way of viewing sins – as wounds. Our wrongdoings certainly have an effect on us and on our souls. He led meditative prayer to ask God to heal those wounds. One thought that stuck with […]
Depth Perception
Tonight my prayer group talked about the upcoming Gospel for Sunday which is the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus. In the story, three of Jesus’ disciples witness Jesus in His glory. Then, they are overshadowed by a cloud – God – who tells them to listen to Jesus. In our discussion, we realized that […]
Wisdom on the Path
I participated in an online caregivers group today. I so appreciate getting to know the people more and listening to them. They all have different stories and their loved ones are in different stages of illness. Today I realized that is one of the blessings of the group. I don’t feel as alone in caregiving, […]
