Deb's Podcast

We never know how the recitation of just one prayer, one novena can change the life and a soul living in just one human being.  I was given this gift by a very dear friend from church, who received it from his brother.  It is my honor and my gift to share it with you tonight with the greatest hope and greatest blessing imaginable. For the entire state of Florida is under a state of emergency with...

What a Great Gift this day has become!  I was very pleased, and greatly honored to share this podcast with my Mom this afternoon.  She too expressed excitement in her voice that I had chosen to actively follow Christ, as I reflected upon the life and the death of the matriarchs of our family.  She went on to share with me how God works in mysterious ways.  One day my great grandmother was jay walk...

What does the Associate Pastor, and the late Pope Benedict XVI have in common with Mother Teresa?  All the above have strived and lived like Saints.  Although I have never met Saint Teresa of Calcutta or Saint Benedict XVI whose lives both imitate a great love for God and a great love for our catholic faith.  They are some of the most influential and most faith filled people living during our life...

Experience the power of confession and experience the healing power and presence of Jesus.  Mending our broken hearts that have left us completely detached from our soul.  And yet God in his powerful love heals us from deep within.  Some hurts are just too difficult to overcome on their own.  That is why we need God.  We need faith.  We need holy scripture to teach us "The Way"!  I was l...

Blessed, to be present.  Blessed, to see the life of Christ, through the lives of all of the saints. We can begin again and again, in Christ.  We can learn from the saints too,  who have gone before us and returned to our Lord for their great reward.  Its an honor and a great privilege to speak with you tonight and share with you the awesome discoveries  about the saints and how much we are so muc...

In great support of life I write tonight.  An intrinsically evil desire for financial gain has taken over the minds and hearts leading our current generation down the path of ultimate destruction and failure.  This is an attack on the ALL people.  Against their faith, against their values, against their God given right to conceive and have life living inside of their womb.  There is no more meanin...

Many have never received the gift of faith.  Many need guidance, hope, direction.  Today more than ever every man and every woman is hungering for the truth.  And all of it can be found right here.  God wants the very best for you.  God loves you.  God however has given you free will do do with it as you wish.  Sometimes we can run off onto the wrong path and take a detour that will set us back a...

We all have so many obstacles to over come within our own selves, sometimes it can be overwhelming.  But with God he has the ability to calm down the storms happening to us from as early as our childhood and as late as our senior years.  Some of us are entering into the summer season of life and others are experiencing the winter season.  Summer is warm and always welcoming and winter is always co...

Today July 22nd, we celebrate the very special feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene.  How wonderful and great were the holy women who were chosen I believe by God himself to remain by the side of our Lord.  Mary Magdalene was one of those special women and today we get to remember her contributions to the faith.  She was converted by Jesus and witnessed the last moments of Jesus. She is identified as...

Saints have a profound role and responsibility to guide the faithful properly.  A great Saint who has accomplished this goal quite well is Saint Catherine Of Sienna.  She personally was consumed with the fire of God's love.  And because of that exact reason, she was sent to us by God to teach and preach his glory.  We can find great truth in Saint Catherine today, her life, her legacy, is a t...

We never know how our prayers are going to be answered but what I do know is this.  God brings his best people forward to be with us in the most difficult times in order to help us to grow and mature and live a life abundant in Him.  I ask you, are you living in Christ fully today?  Are you focusing on what he is trying to change in you?  By now I am sure he has your full attention, but the real q...

Poland.  All of my great grandparents, grandparents, great aunts and great uncles, my  mother, and her two brothers, were born there.  I have friends, some of the most beautiful polish friends, who still live there.  I was honored to visit 20 years ago, desiring to pay my respects to my Polish heritage.  I wanted to celebrate my roots.  And as I heard Gods voice speak directly to my heart the mome...

A dear friend of mine , a professed Secular Franciscan like myself, Allen blessed me with a book of prayers put together by his late brother.  Truly a marvelous gift idea to comfort us in our sorrow.  I believe our faith was meant to be shared.  My dad, God rest his soul, had a saying; that always made me laugh and smile, I can hear him say it right now.  " Don't hide it divide it"....

My Lord and my Blessed Holy Mother Mary have blessed my life with the desire to care for the abandoned and the widowed.  Little did I know at the time that God was working in and through my generosity and desire to love the unloved, to love the forgotten, and share in their journey.  Whether in their pain and sorrow, or in their joy and happiness, God was always present in their midst and in mine....

Saint Catherine, a most powerful intercessor in Christ, as a  Catholic, as a Dominican Saint, we prayerfully request that you increase our faith, inspire us daily, and uphold  in us, the greatest spiritual strength, that is Christ, that also needs to be in us!  We desire to live a holy life, but sadly, we have lost our sense of  good direction, and plead with you to guide us through our many fault...

How very blessed are we to be in the company of priests from long ago and still have the honor of being in their company today.  Each priest brings forth a different fruit yet the same message.  To love God, to serve God, through loving and serving each other.  When in the company of priests something unique and special happens.  They bring to us a beautiful perspective of years of devotion to God...

That morning after mass, I had the honor, of another day, to once again, walk over to the altar rail and receive Jesus, "My God and My All",  into my body.  And not only that, as I consumed the Holy Eucharist, he touched and blessed all of my senses beyond beyond my control.  For in that moment, my mind only desired to be in Him, and my heart was heavily drawn toward His love and compass...

When we enter into the gentleness of Jesus, our lives begins to bear fruit, the greatest  transformation begins, and we abandon every selfish desire.   We opt out of immaturity, embracing maturity, of the highest caliber.  It is then in our emptiness, the outpouring of our self, begins again, a life newer than the one we were given by our loving parents and family.  To be purged of our selves, our...

What is an entire morning devoted to God, look like for an average Christian? I would dare to say their feet do not touch the ground before they get out of their bed each morning, until they finish a prayer of thanksgiving to God. They fast, they devote themselves to God through the recitation of select prayers chosen, most important,  the Divine Office.  These morning and evening prayers unite us...

How refreshing it is to have this opportunity to share with you the great wisdom from one of the holiest women in our life time who made the largest impact on society desiring to protect souls and prepare souls for their journey toward Christ. Mother Angelica was given to us by God, using all the many gifts He gave her without wasting a single moment to do HIS will.  Her unique charism did reach m...

Father's are the most important role models living within every single family.  And this weekend we get to honor all Father's beginning with our Holy Father in Heaven.  Whom, all men are called to follow.   Our holiest Mother Mary carried her precious Son within her womb to bring forth great news. So, what is this great news we need to be hearing, within the twenty first century?  We nee...

It's a real thing!  We can enter into real time with our Creator and experience a life outside of the life the world is living.  We can become enriched beyond measure.  We may have to sacrifice and separate ourselves from the riches of this life in order to be rich in faith / rich in Christ.  Christ expects more from us.  More time spent in Him.  And the world expects us to be removed complet...

Unique times we live in.  Some of us sadly, have no direction, no one to turn to for the truth.  Some of us are so broken, some have no family, no faith, no guidance, and no hope.  It is for those individuals I write this podcast.  Whether you are forgotten by loved ones, mistreated by the people around you, please know that God is near.  If you do not know God and have not been to mass, or confes...

Allow yourself this time to be alone and in a special place with God.  It could be right where you are right now at home in your prayer room.  It could be outdoors in your back yard watching and listening and appreciating God's creation.  It is in the silence we can actually hear God.  To be still, to be silent, to desire hearing God's voice speak directly to your heart is something uniq...
