  • A New Day

    Today is a new day. It is a time to begin again and be in the present moment. To walk in hope, moving forward, one step at a time. It is a time to listen, to hear what the Lord is saying to me. To pay attention to what is happening around me. To be…

  • 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…

  • The Goodness of God

    Sometimes when I find it hard to pray, I listen to music which seems to express what I am feeling. Music lifts my mood and turns my attention to God. I love to sing out loud when I am alone, it frees my heart and turns my gaze upward. Music touches my soul and I…

  • The Tender Embrace of God

    Last weekend was the Solemnity of Divine Mercy, which always falls on the Sunday after Easter. It is one of my favorite celebrations of the Church and the beautiful prayers, especially the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, always brings me to tears when it is sung. This year I was especially looking forward to this day…

    I sit in silence, and ponder what the Lord has said to me. My heart is overwhelmed by the great 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 different and new. I feel…

  • You Are Worth It

    Last weekend, my husband and I planned a night away downtown. 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 restaurant was very nice, the food was amazing, and we had a table by a large stone fireplace…

  • Abide

    Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without…

  • God is my Artist

    My very self you know, my bones are not hidden from you. When I was being made in secret, fashioned in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw me unformed. Psalm 139:14-16 God is my artist and His brushstroke is His pure love with which He called me forth. Even before time began, He…

  • A Gentle Healer

    The Lord has been with me, as a little baby. I have not spent much time with the Lord this way. He presents Himself to me, as an infant, and invites me to spend time with Him. He doesn’t talk to me, but I understand that He desires me to sit with Him. He is…
