  • Here’s My Heart Lord

    The words echo in my mind, “Here’s my heart, Lord,” lyrics from a song. I listen to this song and make the words my prayer to the Lord. I offer Him my heart, open and with surrender. I offer Him my heart, with trust and hope. I offer Him my heart, with abandonment and joy.…

  • A New Day

    Today is a new day. It is a time to begin again and be in the present moment. To walk in hope, moving forward, one step at a time. It is a time to listen, to hear what the Lord is saying to me. To pay attention to what is happening around me. To be…

  • Be Where Your Feet Are

    A line that has stayed with me from “Unshakeable,” a Father Mike Schmitz book that I am currently reading is, “Be where your feet are.” I am enjoying this book, learning about the virtues, and applying them to everyday life. This particular chapter really resonated with me. The virtue is “integrity,” being whole and undivided.…

  • Holy Week

    It has begun, the way of suffering and the way of love. It is the path to the resurrection that Jesus walked, and He calls me to follow Him. In His suffering, in His triumph, in His pain, in His joy. The way is not easy. It is the way of the cross. It leads…

  • Rejoice and Be Glad

    This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad. Psalm 118:24 Laetare Sunday is the halfway mark of the Lenten Season. Laetare means “rejoice” in Latin. It is a time to see that the light of the day grows longer, as it shines brightly and ushers in a feeling…

The exchange brings out her pain; her isolation, her past and present relationships, her loneliness. The Lord reveals Himself to her in love. He knows her and…

  • A Love So Great

    This past week, I have been drawn to the image of the Lamb. I was sitting at Church, and the etching of a lamb in the Marian side altar was in front of me. I had never paid it much attention before, but I found myself gazing upon this image, and contemplating what it means…

  • I Chose you

    It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. John 15:16 This past week I was feeling discouraged and down. It seemed that for every step I…

  • A Gentle Healer

    The Lord has been with me, as a little baby. I have not spent much time with the Lord this way. He presents Himself to me, as an infant, and invites me to spend time with Him. He doesn’t talk to me, but I understand that He desires me to sit with Him. He is…

  • A New Beginning

    For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. When you call me, and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when…
