Sunday
Unfortunately, it is getting more and more difficult for my mother to attend Mass. This morning I decided to meet my son for the early Mass while my sister stayed with my mom. It had been a long time since I had been out early on a Sunday morning. There was little traffic and I […]
Cody’s Wish
Today my mom and I watched one of her favorite annual events – the Kentucky Derby. There were stories and other races leading up to the main event as usual. One of them was a story about Cody Dorman and the horse Cody’s Wish named in honor of the boy. Cody had a rare medical […]
Don’t Fear For Your Kids
A friend of mine shared a reflection today that really touched my heart as I think about the future of my grandchildren. I will just share the full post here. JULIE GREEN MINISTRIES – Shellie-Sullivan Clark Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in […]
Grateful For People and Healing
It had been a very long time since I went for a walk outside, so was very happy to go out with friend today. Evidently it had been a very long time since we caught up. We walked and talked and it felt wonderful. As I recounted what I had been up to, I found […]
Thank God I Do
Today I heard a song on the radio that tugged at my heart – Thank God I Do by Lauren Daigle. It described how I have felt over the past year – even though the song is about different circumstances. It has been a particularly meaningful Lent for me, of which I am grateful. I […]
Grateful on Easter
As I celebrated Easter, I found myself very grateful. I was grateful to be able to go to Mass with my mom and sister. There were some people there I recognized, but many I did not. I had been waiting to sing, “Jesus Christ is Risen Today”, and it was the entrance hymn. The singing […]
Faith Through Violence
On this Good Friday, my mom was all tuckered out from attending Mass last night, so we didn’t make it to church. However, we read through the scriptures and prayers together. We also watched the Stations of the Cross on EWTN. It took place in the Colosseum in Rome. The scene was beautiful and somber […]
Spiritual Connections
I had very strong unexpected spiritual connections today. First, I met a friend for lunch. She is a caregiver also and a very faithful woman. We prayed together at the restaurant and had beautiful conversation as we usually do. She noted that the relationship with another faithful person is something special – that you understand […]
Holy Spirit Prevented Tragedy
Today I saw an amazing story about a pastor and former police officer who stopped some criminals by praying for them. One day, some young men entered the church during a service. As the pastor was preaching, he noticed they were carrying guns. He secretly alerted his team who locked the doors and called the […]
The Red Tip
When my mom’s friend comes over, we usually talk about religion and politics. Today we talked about the big question as to why some who were raised in the faith and/or practiced regularly stopped somewhere along the way and no longer go to church. We talked about several reasons why this might be – a […]
