Faith
Gift at Cathedral de Santiago
Several weeks ago, a friend of mine who is a priest shared that he was going to be walking the Camino in Spain – The Way of St. James. He said he would bring intentions that were shared with him, so I included one. I had seen photos of when he and his group arrived, […]
Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Back on the Road
This morning I went to Mass and prayed especially for my mom on the 1-year anniversary of her death. I loved that it was Corpus Christi – the Feast of the Body of Christ. In the homily, we were reminded that we have Hope that we will one day be in the arms of Christ […]
Faithful Friends
Today I saw more friends that I had not seen in years. They had been such a big part in my faith life. The introduced me to unique experiences that challenged my beliefs. I think that is something that I find so beautiful and extraordinary about the Catholic religion. There are so many ways to […]
Dream of Heaven
A young man that I have known since he was in high school lost his father almost 2 years ago. I wanted to visit his dad’s grave, so the young man tried to explain to me where it was. Then he offered to take me there, which really touched my heart. We got together tonight […]
God Speaks

Prayer of course, being silent and listening for God. Sometimes an overwhelming feeling or thought. Many times through […]

I was blessed to spend Father’s Day with close friends and their family today. The group included the mom and dad, 3 of the 4 kids, a son in law, 2 young grandchildren, and a dog. Everyone pitched in to help cook and prepare the meal of all the dad’s favorites. Of course, everything was […]
Pentecost Blessings
I was so blessed this Pentecost Sunday. I went to Mass at my old parish and realized how much I missed the priest. I loved his message in the homily and his beautiful singing voice. The church had been renovated and was just beautiful. I decided to grab my camera and go back for the […]
Body and Soul
I was talking with a friend tonight about growing older. My friend said he can’t believe he is only a few years away from turning 70. I remembered my mom saying that, while she felt her body failing, she was still surprised to look in the mirror and see such an old woman. She said […]
Beautiful Church
This morning I found a church in the small town that we stayed in last night. It was so beautiful and ornate. There were murals painted on the ceilings and behind the side altars. The colors were all so vibrant. Up in the choir loft was a stunning pipe organ. For Communion, everyone approached the […]
