  • The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

    In the center of my being my heart is open to You, my Lord and my God. I desire to keep the flame burning with the precious oil of prayer, that never ceases. Your Most Precious Heart is pure love that was pierced for me. In the silence of my heart, I offer You my…

  • Come To Him

    “Come to Him,” three simple words that stood out to me. I was at Sunday Mass, and these words were in the scripture reading. They struck my attention and moved my heart. I have found myself struggling over the last several weeks. I had pulled ligaments in my lower back and it took four weeks…

  • Life with Christ

    I purchased some potting soil and new planters. I have many houseplants that need fresh soil and a larger area to grow. Their roots have no place to go and they are stuck in a container too small for them. The plants have stopped thriving and growing; they have become stagnant and unable to get…

  • The Tender Love of God

    I sit in silence, and ponder what the Lord has done for me. My heart is overwhelmed by the tender love of the Lord during this most sacred time of the year. Every year of the Lenten season, followed by the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord, I experience something new. I spent time with…

  • 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…

  • Spirit and Truth

    I find the scripture passages that speak of the Samaritan woman at the well heartwarming. The Lord waits for her, and when she arrives, He speaks with her. 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…

  • My Solid Foundation

    I have been having silent time with the Lord in the morning. I struggle to keep my thoughts on the Lord, as my mind wanders quite frequently. However I have shown up, in my imperfect way, and spend time with Him. The time passes quickly and I begin the day. Nothing much has happened that…

  • Bittersweet

    Bittersweet, that is how my heart feels. There is a part that suffers and there is a part that feels joy. In my silent suffering, I pray to God. In my joy, I pray to God. In my sorrows and in my joys, He is with me. He knows me to the very depths of…
