Remember That You Will Die
I have been a fan of Jonathan Roumie since the first time I saw him portray Jesus in “The Chosen”. When I saw him doing interviews and such, I noticed he wears skull rings. I wondered what that was all about. He explained it in one of the interviews. The skulls are to remind him […]
Pope Connections
Today I learned of some interesting connections that I had not known of, or thought of before. On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a terrifying vision of Satan trying to take over the Vatican and Rome and using that power to scatter the flock of the Church. Pope Leo then composed the prayer […]
Hedwig
A couple weeks ago, I met a woman who was introduced as Heddy. She explained that her real name was Hedwig after the saint of the same name. She felt her name was so unusual and not very appealing, so she went by Heddy. On October 15 as I was listening to my Hallow app, […]
It was such good news to hear that my friend’s mom was discharged from the hospital today. In one of the messages, my friend mentioned that she needed to get a new toilet seat for her mom. I remembered that I had kept the bedside commode that we purchased for my mom. It was all […]
Supportive Group
My friend spent the day in the hospital with her mother as they waited for her to have a pacemaker implanted. It was a long day with a long wait and my friend kept me and our friend’s group updated. There were a lot of prayers by everyone all during the day. Her mom had […]
That is Enough
During the past couple of days, a prayer from St. Ignatius of Loyola keeps coming up. I have learned that when these kinds of things happen that I had better pay attention. The prayer goes like this: Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I […]
God Took Care of It
A couple of months ago, a friend of mine told me that her teenaged grandson had moved in with her. It was very unexpected. She was happy he was there and that he felt comfortable and safe with her. It has been quite some time since she had a teenager living in her home and […]
Prayer for the Deceased
A friend and I went to the cemetery this morning. The group of men from Knights of Columbus gather there on the 2nd Saturday of the month to pray the rosary for all those buried there. We joined in. It was a beautiful day and so peaceful praying with everyone. Then my friend and I […]
Making Disciples
Tonight I went to day 1 of a parish retreat. The topic was the need to pass along faith, from generation to generation and to those who do not have faith. Tonight was kind of an overview of what it means to be Catholic, why people may leave the faith, and what parishes may be […]
Humbled by Sacrifice
Today I spent some time with a friend from my prayer group who I have known for several years. She sat in her favorite recliner, put on YouTube, and found a video of the Divine Mercy. We followed the video and prayed along. Every now and then during the 15 minute prayer, she was silent […]
