  • Content in the Silence

    There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence. Rule of St. Benedict. In a world that is vocal and offers more and more, I desire to be content with what the Lord has provided for me. To let go of the thought that says it is never…

It was Valentine’s Day, and we decided to celebrate by going out to an elegant dinner, seeing a comedian, and staying at a fancy hotel.

    The Lord has spoken to me through a song. I was in the Adoration chapel at church when the words ‘King of my heart’ kept repeating in my mind. I felt that these words were part of lyrics to a song. They were familiar to me, but as I sat there, I couldn’t get further…
