  • Persevere in Prayer

    Persevere in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving; at the same time, pray for us too, that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak of the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, that I may make it clear, as I must speak. Colossians 4:2. St. Paul

  • I delight in you

    The Lord is always speaking, and it is amazing to me. Especially when I am aware of His loving presence. He is always there, I am the one that turns my gaze elsewhere. The Lord lifts me in encouragement when His words touch my heart. “I delight in you.” Simple words that give me a

  • In the Silence

    Before the dawn, I awaken and sit in the silence. It is time spent at the feet of Jesus; I listen and He speaks to me. He says, “The way is simple, it is paved with love.” In the silence, there is faith; in the silence, there is hope; in the silence, there is love.

  • The Life I Live

    Patience, prayer, and silence, these are what give strength to the soul. St. Faustina Patience is accepting God’s timing and not my own. It is living a life where I follow Him with complete trust. Prayer is speaking with God, heart to heart, and having a relationship with Him. It is living a life where

  • There is Need of Only One Thing

    The Gospel reading from Mass this past weekend touched my heart. St. Martha is one of my favorite saints. I definitely see my struggles with anxiety in a new way when I hear the dialogue between her and the Lord. I read this scripture quite often, as it always brings out something new for me

    As my children get older and more mature and independent, I feel sad and happy at the same time. It is a bittersweet moment in a mother’s heart that lets them go but still wants to hold them close. The memories surface when life was simpler when they were little. The visits to the zoo,

  • To Jesus Through Mary

    Today, the Blessed Mother is on my mind. I am going on a staff retreat today, a “mini pilgrimage” to visit a Cathedral and Historic Church in a neighboring diocese. Both are named after the Blessed Mother, St. Mary’s Cathedral and St. Mary, Help of Christians. I have been blessed to have many “Mary’s” in

  • Beloved Family

    I am grateful to God for my family. We had a lovely Father’s Day where we were all together. We went to the movies and had a nice meal. These moments are so special especially as schedules change and life gets busy. I feel joy in my heart as I have watched the kids grow

  • A Steadfast Spirit

    A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit. Psalm 51:12 As I spend my last moments today breathing in the crisp ocean breeze and listening to the waves rushing to the shore, I am thankful to God for this time of rest and renewal. God speaks through His creation. The

  • A Quiet Place of Rest

    Come away and find a quiet place of rest. Let the silence envelop you, as it calls you to go deeper within yourself. To cast off the worries of the world and to listen to the inmost stirrings of your heart. My soul is restless until it rests in You. St. Augustine To notice the
