This past weekend was Pentecost Sunday, where the Apostles received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told his followers that He would ascend into Heaven so the Advocate could come. As they were praying and waiting, the Holy Spirit, in a strong wind descended upon them in tongues of fire. The apostles received gifts…

He took the child by the hand and said, “Talitha Koum”, which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise”. Mark 5:41 Lord, when I feel like the enemy has knocked me down, You call me to rise up. Your words are like honey that soothe my weary soul. I stand, but I am unable…

A Blessed Easter to everyone! As my Magnify 90 practices and readings approach the last week, I sit here with much gratitude and thankfulness to the Lord for all He has done for me. Jesus is risen, He is indeed risen, with scars on His body, where the brilliant light of God the Father shines…

The Lord gave me a great gift this week; it is peace. A peace overtook me, and I felt a calm and stillness in my body and soul. It is a peace that I still can feel. What a wonderful thing to experience this second week of Advent. Peace I leave with you; my peace…

The words of St. Teresa of Avila are so comforting in a time when darkness seems to be all around. Let nothing disturb you; Let nothing make you afraid; All things pass; But God is unchanging, patience is enough for everything. You who have God, lack nothing, God alone is sufficient. St. Teresa of Avila…

Today, I said a prayer for you. A prayer to hold onto hope and find your courage deep within. A prayer that you matter and are not alone. That today, you would feel the sun on your face, even if it is behind the clouds. Closing your eyes and feeling its warmth radiate your being.…
