Prayer
Intercession of Archangels
Today is the Feast of the Archangels, one of my favorite days. I have always been fascinated by angels and have felt strength when praying for their help. When I was at my friend’s house today, we watched a couple of videos that talked about where the Archangels were mentioned in the Bible and their […]
Blessings of the Present
This morning I got into my Hallow app and saw that a new 21 days of prayer was starting. I put on the first podcast and to my surprise, it was Deion Sanders speaking. He talked about his spiritual conversion. Even though he was an athletic superstar, he had inner turmoil that just wouldn’t cease […]
Masculinity
Tonight I turned on the first football game of the season. Before the game started, they showed some of the players getting ready. One of the men was with his wife and infant son. He held his baby in his large hands as he talked to him. Then he gave him back to his mom, […]
Clear and Confident
I spent some time at the Newman Center today and visited with people after Mass. While I was there a Campus Police officer came in and chatted with the facilities manager. As I was talking with one of the students, the officer came over to the information table next to us and was looking at […]
Holy Ground
I spent some time in Eucharist Adoration early this morning. It was so calm and peaceful before the rush of the day started. There were a couple other people there as well. I typically don’t look at people when I’m there as I feel it is a very private, personal time with God and I […]
Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby
I started this morning by taking my son’s dog for a little hike in a nearby forested park. It was peaceful, cool, and energizing – a great way to start the day. I talked with son and his wife on and off during the day. They sent a picture of the new baby wearing a […]
Special Rosary
When I was visiting a friend today, she asked if I would pray the rosary with her. I told her I would be happy to and she handed me a fancy rosary. It had blue crystal beads. There was also a bead on each side of the cross – 4 total – that spun. It […]
Rosary at the Cemetery
The other day I was reading the local Diocese magazine and saw that the Knights of Columbus were praying the rosary in the military cemetery on the 2nd Saturday of the month. They were inviting others to join them. That sounded like a great idea to me. I called a friend who recently buried her […]
God’s Moving
I got together with one of my neighbors today who I had not seen for a couple of months. They were away, then I was away, then things got a little hectic. It was good to visit with them. As I told them about my trip and everything that is happening since I returned, I […]
250 Years
As our country celebrated it’s 250 years of freedom today, my brother and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my son, his wife, and her family. It was sad that our area is in a burn ban and no fireworks were allowed. I did watch some on TV that were pretty amazing, though. I heard […]
