  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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 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 Beautiful Garden

    I have lately felt the dryness and desolation of being in a barren desert. I imagine myself in a beautiful garden that I am to take care of. I fetch water from a far off well that is deep and as I bring my empty bucket and lower it down, I find that I have…
