The words of Saint Benedict come to mind.  I was very fortunate to travel twice to Italy, once with my paternal grandparents in 1983, and once with my mother/father in law/husband in 2003.  We were on a beautiful pilgrimage inside Monte Cassino.  I have in my possession a Saint Benedict Crucifix.  It is known that Saint Benedict made the sign of the cross against the assaults of the demon narrated...

How can we thank our Lord for everything good he has ever done for us? When I take the time to sit in silence and reflect upon his goodness to me, I am amazed everytime by his graciousness...This weekend was no different.  He opened the door wide and I saw his beauty in nature, and in our friendship's blossom!  Old friends, new friends, both are God's friends given to me for a season.  G...

A positive read, can be life changing.  My hope is that you are choosing well.  When we open the bible to read the word, we are putting on Christ Jesus!  We are entering into his powerful realm of knowledge and grace.  He graces us when we are living obediently in him.  Why is this important?  I believe it is because, when we choose to live in Christ Jesus, we are living out our very best life!!! ...

These are truthful words.  Because when we honor our priests who were sent by God to teach all of us "The Way" - we should be more appreciative than we are.  More gracious and grateful when we speak to them or speak of within their company and outside of their company.  The same holds true for all our Catholic Sisters who have sacrificed their entire lives to be teachers of the truth, a...

All of creation, created by God were meant to imitate Christ!  Men and women living etxraordinary lives through their mystical and spiritual practices and experiences who have gone before us leave behind a remenant of truths for us to uncover.  In essence they are our mentors, we look up to them and their great works, I believe they are Gods living treasures withstanding the test of time, given to...

At holy mass, our inner character is disciplined in the knowledge of truth and love of our Lord, we are guided spiritually and devoutly by traditional priests who want each and every one of us to get to heaven.  It is important to have a clean slate.  A Heart Contrite and Humble O'God You Will Not Spurn... and a mind so pure and clean so that Jesus can enter into our midst and we can hear him...

Prayer to Our Lady of Czestochowa (To be said each day upon arising)  Holy Mother of Czestochowa, Thou art full of grace, goodness and mercy. I consecrate to Thee all my thoughts, words, and actions- my soul and body. I beseech thy blessings and especially prayers for my salvation.  Today,I consecrate myself to Thee, Good Mother, totally - with body and soul amid joy and sufferings to obtain for m...

Blessed are they who choose God first!  We all know that God chose us first, so why can't we do the same?  It is possible to choose him, it is possible to live a beautiful new life in his friendship.  If you were to do nothing else in life, but choose to be in Christ, as a faith filled Christian, you are ahead of most people.  I will go as far to repeat what my husband said just today, he sai...

Saint Mary Magdeline.  Chosen by God to be at the cross, while being crucified.  She was also given the privilege to be present at his resurrection.  I cannot imagine what that would have been like.  But God knew she would be chosen.  And what an honor for Saint Mary Magdeline because she was able to be in our creators presence and be part of Christ's story.  How amazing and awesome is that? ...

Her life deeply reflected her love for our Lord.  Her church ministry and devotion to holy mother Mary led her to become a teacher for our first holy communicants.  A wife, a mother, a grandmother, a powerful convert to the Catholic faith, gifted in using her hands to make beauty come alive through her God given talents.  Whether she was making quilted childrens books for her grandchildren, or mak...

Souls experience sickness, often hidden way deep within a person.  A soul can yearn for healing but it is nearly impossibe to overcome sickness and I will go as far as to say even mastering it.  But without the assistance of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ nothing is possible.  As you already know, our Lord controls everything except for our free will.  We are free to live in a world of light, w...

The majority of us will live out our life never recognizing the Christ.  I am honored, greatly honored to be chosen by God, today in bringing this important reality back into your psyche.  How is it that this happens to us as faith filled Catholics?  We were given so much for a reason. To pass on the beautiful Catholic Faith and to preserve it for future generations.  Somehow we have failed in doi...

Jesus.  Jesus, I love you possess us!  Bring the light of your truth into the darkness of our souls and burn away once and for all, the lies we have clung to.  Heal hearts that can forgive but say they can and will never forget.  Jesus, hear my plea.  Come to my assistance, helping not only myself, but my brothers and sisters who are held captive, in the grave darkness of past sin, held tightly in...

This book will touch your soul.  For God's chosen ones heeded the call when it arrived and acted on behalf of our Lord's calling.  Have you been called on by God to serve?  Did you answer that call?  God invites us personally to live in him.  He always wants what is best for us.  When I was given the invitation to discover this book, I was blessed because, I had a choice, to accept or ig...

Accountability.  Every single individual born into this world will face their own judgement day.  For each of us are born for a greater purpose.  And it is up to us individually to discover that exact purpose.  We will one day be forced to revisit our lives, past, present, future, and face accountability for the life we were given, for the life we had chosen to live.  Each and every life will in f...

You and I are a work in progress.  Our best self has yet to be revealed.  You and I are living in Christ Jesus every single day.  He is in us and we are in Him.  Let that settle deeper into your psyche.  Deep breath.  Jesus created you in his likeness and in His image.  He made all of us beautiful.  He made the universe, the stars, the oceans, its creatures, the sun, the moon, the stars, everythin...

Rejoice again I will repeat the word Rejoice, in knowing our Lord loves us all.  He is present in the light and even in our darkest hour.  Our Lord sees us, as we suffer, as we heal from all brokeness.  Our Lord understands, more importantly our Lord wants us to grow in our spiritual walk with Him.  When we reject our Lord, our life experiences turn for the worse.  We were given by God commandment...

My Lord, My everything, it is now I experience the deep sorrow of your suffering.  Why it took so long for me to understand the meaning behind your death.  My attention was fully given to you this evening at the Veneration of the Cross.  I took very seriously the souls of my ancestors who have gone before me and met their reward.  Those who were more devout than most.  I am remembering them in a s...
