“Your Will is wonderful indeed … The unfolding of Your Word gives light ….
Turn & show me Your mercy … Let my steps be guided by Your promises.”
If we do that today we will make the world a little better.
May God Be Praised!

Blog Post 10/05/2023 – A Prayer to Offer and a Prayer to Live.
"Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you." [St. Thomas Aquinas]

The Eucharist.
In With Burning Hearts Henri Nouwen wrote, “It is a story of God who wants to come close to us, … so close that there is nothing between us and him….”
The gift of the Eucharist does just that!
May God Be Praised.

Blog Post 10/03/2023 – Morning Prayer
In the morning Dear God, fill us with Your kindness and give us strength to share Your kindness with those we meet today. For any joys we give thanks, and for any sufferings we give thanks. Everything good reflects Your love and Your beauty. May Your wounds heal our sorrows and Your Resurrection give us hope for eternal joy.
May God Be Praised.

Blog Post 10/02/2023 – One of my favorite stories
One of my favorite stories
An Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gary Harden played her best role for the Make-A-Wish Foundation portraying Snow White for Bonnie, a little girl dying of cancer. Snow White was Bonnie’s favorite movie & she wanted to meet Snow White, so the date was set. As Marcia was preparing for her bedside Performance, a casting agency called her to audition for a new Olive Stone movie. The auditions were scheduled for the same day as her Snow White performance. Neither could be changed, her hospital performance for Bonnie or her chance for the Oliver Stone movie.
After a sleepless night & many tears Marcia decided to keep her promise to the little girl. When Marcia [Snow White] entered the room Bonnie’s face lit up. After the performance Bonnie asked Snow White, “When I die, will the prince kiss me and then I’ll wake up again?”
The room fell silent as Marcia (Snow White) tried to think of what to say to Bonnie. Finally, she said, “No, Bonnie, It is even better. When you get to heaven, God will kiss you and then you’ll wake up again.” Years later, Marcia said of that moment: “At that moment in the hospital room with Bonnie …. I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be, playing exactly the role I was meant to play.” [Connections, April 2008]
One day we like Bonnie will go to sleep and wake up with God in heaven, it will be a moment of utter bliss, our life’s journey will be completed, and our eternal journey will commence.
May God Be Praised.

Blog Post 9/30/2023 – Death Is Something We Cannot Avoid
Death Is Something We Cannot Avoid
Death is a subject we usually avoid talking about or think about, Henri Nouwen remarked, "Some people say they are afraid of death. Others say they are not. But most people are quite afraid of dying…. But whatever we think or hope, the way we will die is unpredictable and our worries about it quite fruitless.”
Jesus said, “listens my words, and acts on them. That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built.”
Pray to Jesus, Walk with Jesus, Live with Jesus and when you die you will die with Jesus and enter “the land of the living.”
May God Be Praised.
