Miracle
A Recollected Spirit
Today I went to a craft fair and saw several friends there. One walked around with me, some were part of the fair, and others had come to shop. It was busy and bustling with people looking, buying, and selling. There were so many different products and so many vendors it was really somewhat overwhelming. […]
Celebrating Sabbath
In today’s meditation on the Hallow app, I heard about a book called, “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”, by John Mark Comer. Evidently this book shares wisdom of practical ways to find peace and stillness in the crazy world we live in. The foundation is to practice the Sabbath, which we know as Sunday. From […]
Mother Cabrini Shrine
Today I visited the Mother Cabrini Shrine with some ladies from the church social group that I joined. It was about an hour and a half drive from the city we live in, so I got to know the ladies a little bit more. One of them shares a birthday with me. Not only that, […]
Buying Cheese and On Our Knees
Some time ago, a friend gave me the book, “Monuments, Marvels, and Miracles – A Traveler’s Guide to Catholic America”. I have had the dream of traveling and visiting many of the sites. The first time I was on the highway to visit my aunt, we drove by a sign to a shrine and I […]
Speed of God
This morning after breakfast, my brother hitched up his camper, fastened his dog in his truck, and left for the winter. He is heading to Arizona but will stop at beautiful sites on his way. After he left, I cleaned up the cabin a bit and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and scenery before I […]
God Spared Me
After my son got married and now has the support of an amazing wife and her wonderful Christian family, I have been telling my siblings that God could take me home with Him any time now. Today, instead of doing that, He spared me. I was out driving this morning and had come to a […]
New Millennial Saint
I have been fascinated by the life of a teenage boy who was a gamer, taught himself how to code, and loved his Catholic faith since he was a boy. When he received his First Communion, he realized it was truly the Body of Christ and vowed to live his life for Him. His parents […]
Mary, Martha, Lazarus
Today the church celebrates the Memorial of Saints Mary, Martha and Lazarus. I read the scripture story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and watched a reflection about it. There were 2 things that struck me. The first was the shortest passage in the Bible, which is “Jesus wept”, John 11:35. The reflection explained […]
Turin Shroud Center
Today I saw a presentation about the Shroud of Turin at a local church. The shroud has long been thought to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. It is a 14-foot-long cloth that bears the image of a man – front and back – as it was wrapped lengthwise over a person lying down. […]
My Heart is a Violin
Today I heard part of the story of Shony Alex Brau. It was a story of incredible faith and relying on God. In short, he was a gifted violin player who was sent to concentration camps as a boy during the Nazi regime. At one point, he had to prove his musical capability or be […]
