Peace
In Our Hearts
Yesterday was the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today was the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Is it coincidence that yesterday the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and that today new gun laws were passed? In the words of President Biden, “I know there’s much more work to do, and […]
Sharing Caring Heart
A friend and I planned on meeting for a hike this morning. I texted her and got no response. I called and got no answer. This was not like her at all, so I got a little worried and decided to just go over to her house. She called while I was on my way […]
Consecration of Russia and Ukraine
Today was the Solemnity of the Annunciation. It was also the day Pope Francis chose to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. When Mary appeared to the children at Fatima, this was one of her requests, but it was to be done a certain way. I’m not exactly sure of the […]
This and That
My mom and I had no plans for the day and nowhere we needed to be. So we stayed at home and did this and that. I just kind of went from one thing to another, taking care of whatever needed taking care of. Usually I have a plan for what I want to accomplish […]
Stress Relief
My sister came for the weekend, so I made an appointment to get a massage at the prompting of the family. I talked to the guy a little bit and told him I felt like my whole body was a big ball of tension. After only a few minutes, the massage felt so good I […]
Being Silent
I have been reading the book of Sirach which is jammed packed with practical wisdom and advice on daily living. It is interesting how thousands of years go by since this was written and it applies to us here and now. I guess we human beings haven’t come as far as we would like to […]
Overwhelmed
I can all too often find myself feeling overwhelmed. Such was the case earlier today. I thought I was starting the year off on a good path, when a phone call and conversation set me off. When I realized where my emotions were heading, first thing I did was walk away and take a time […]
Peace is…
Today I read a simple statement that spoke to my heart. “Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.” So true and can be so hard to realize. It also reminded me of another short saying, “No Jesus, no peace. Know Jesus, know peace.” I Found God today in the reminder […]
Peaceful Scripture
Tonight before bed, I read this scripture that brought peace to my heart: 1 Thessalonians 5:23May the god of peace make you perfect in holiness. May he preserve you whole and entire, spirit, soul, and body, irreproachable at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Found God today in a peaceful scripture.
Silence
I have been trying to up my prayer game for Advent by adding this prayer and that prayer. This morning I felt the need to just be silent – to stop talking, to listen, to experience God’s presence. I Found God today in silence.
Still Finding God
