What is God Asking of you specifically to change about yourself this Advent Season.  Perhaps you have never looked deeply into your own imperfections.  Ways about yourself you chose not to look at, think about over coming, and changing for the better.  When we look deep within, we find our darkest self.  We need to look at it, in order to overcome the bad examples, blind spots, imperfections, we h...

Understanding the liturgical calendar is important.  I think that it better prepares us for an amazing faith filled journey! We as Catholic's,  were meant to experience a personal relationship with Christ.  Some may not have been shown the proper examples in their youth, nor have they received an explanation detailing the history of the catholic faith.  Others, may have only gone through the...

None of us know the hour, nor the day, when the Lord will come for us and take us back to himself forever.  And in some ways depending upon the timing of things,  what we do not know, sometimes can be a blessing in disguise.  Because we are swayed neither way.  But with time still on our side, we are given a grand opportunity to do something extraordinary with it.  For me personally I think it wou...

My life with God.  Your life with God.  Ever wonder what it will be like?  Do you think that you will be ready when the time comes for you to die and for Jesus to come back for you? It's a really good question.  I am sure that there are many devout Catholic's who are working out their souls salvation while still living on earth.  I just so happen to be one of them!  I am totally focused...

Beatitude means - - - good attitude.  Why is it we mess up so badly when it comes to responding respectfully toward others especially when we disagree with one another? We should be great at being cautious when we speak.  That would greatly help us to have healthier dialogue and happier relationships.  This Thanksgiving Eve, My prayer is for all of us to work harder on the things we fail in, and h...

Christ truly is our King forever.  Today on this most important feast day of "Christ The King", we are reminded that we are a people of God.   He reigns over the entire universe that He himself created.  Everything belongs to Christ.  Everything and everyone on this earth and in heaven, God created.  We are sons and daughters of a King! He is one God in three divine persons.  Father, Son...

I was in the 7th grade when I was given this booklet of prayers on how to pray the Stations of the Cross.  I am thrilled to have kept this jewel of prayers.  They were my guide post growing up.  And have led me to serve my Lord at a very young and impressionable age.  God revealed himself to me.  He told me long ago I was given more than most.  And I heard him tell me these words and they struck a...

Mothers.  Who are they really?  What specific intentional purpose did God give them?  God gave all women the gift to become Mother's.  But the beauty of motherhood was tainted by the evil one.  And an evil idea that life can be destroyed at conception.  It doesn't get more evil than that.  The beauty of marriage.  One man, one woman, for life, was what God originally intended for everyon...

The more that I read about the saints, the more I want to learn how to truly live a life that is fruitful and meaningful and purposeful in Christ!  Here are some beautiful truths to live by.   The Life of Saint Mary Margaret,  "A soul that is burning with love cannot remain inactive.  It will cling to Jesus feet, it will listen to his sweet burning words.    Saint John of the Cross, One act o...

Who were the Saints?  From what little I do know and have learned about the Saint's I believe they were a chosen people,  for a very special task during a very special time, in the history of our faith, desiring to know Christ, love Christ, and become the living example of Christ for the world to see and imitate. The Saint's were taught some really amazing lesson's during their life...

Division has taken over the world as we speak.  Division is not of God.  Therefore, those who choose this great divide do not follow the law.  They follow the way of death, their minds are so very focused on destruction, and they abandon what is good, what is just, because their hearts were turned away from God, and the greatest evil has entered into their veins.   Blinded by the most intrinsic ev...

As I write my personal expression of gratitude to all of you today, I want you to know that I hold the highest regard toward my creator, and those who represent goodness.  You will find that we as believers, truly are one!  Taking this time to invest in what I feel is important and always have, I believe we were given a small period of time to do something unique and not waste a precious second of...

On November 3rd I was asked to announce that after one year and six month's Deb's Podcast has received over 1,000 plus listeners!  I am very excited and grateful truly I am to have such a great following.  It has been a real joy for me to reach out to all of you in America, Africa, Netherlands, Poland, Canada, Spain, Morocco, Guatemala, please forgive me for not mentioning everyone'...

When we travel we prepare our self for the journey.  We have a plan all thought through.  When we live, we need to plan out our life.  Both take time, energy, effort, and most of all our full attention.  How are you planning to live out 2023?  We are less than two months away from the new year.  I think we should all consider becoming perfect at planning out exactly the way we want to live our lif...

Putting the pieces of the puzzle together takes time and having the great desire to dig deep within ones soul.  In order for me to know myself and be truthful, I had to document everything by keeping a life long journal.  When it is written in absolute truth which I have tried very hard to do, I was able to go back and reread the history of my life and figure out where I went right and where I wen...

The preservation of history is amazing because it allows us to see quite clearly what our ancestors wrote during their lifetime about Catholicism.  They were truly the greatest scholars who were chosen by God to keep the writings given to them and it showed us what the Christian faith was like a hundred years ago and I believe we received great insight into the generation before them as well.  So...

A strong prayer life is the best kind of life to live if you want to grow in your faith.  If you want to know your creator then prayer is your best outlet.  Today I decided to share my evening prayer with you as I daily recite the divine office, the Liturgy of the Hours.  If this is something you find yourself enjoying you can go on line a purchase a four volume set and give yourself the best birt...

As we quietly enter into the holy presence of our Lord, let us pause for a moment to remember all the living Saint's.  Those who may have already gone to meet God but have left their mark forever on our heart, our mind, and our soul. The Saints in our life time, were ordinary everyday people who cared for us, nurtured us, especially through our woundedness, and they loved us no matter what. ...

The Saint's in our life have a purpose.  We were asked in the 7th grade to choose a Saint's name for our Confirmation name.  I remember being so insecure and not knowing enough about the saints at the time to choose one I knew well enough to say I want that Saints name to be my Confirmation name.  When the struggle became evident to my teacher, she was there for me and helped me choose t...

When we are at our best it is easy to keep the peace.  When we experience confrontation peace becomes a challenge.  I wish we could all be great at communicating when confrontation comes into play.  I think if I could personally place Christ next to me the next time I have to correct someone, I think I could deliver my message much better without hurting someone else's feelings.  That happene...

All human life needs a powerful advocate/voice of hope!  Are you willing to be that special spokesperson ? The slaughtering of precious babies in the womb needs to stop.  To take a life is to kill.   And many babies in the womb have had no say in the manner. Today I am the voice for over 80 million babies aborted. I believe we have to look at life, and uphold all life with a respectful disposition...

Prayer does something to us internally.  It is a beautiful tapestry woven between you and God.  At first, you cannot see the progress, but in that moment and those thereafter, God is working miraculously through you and his greatest work is you!  I love to pray.  I believe that prayer moves mountains.  Prayer converts the most hardened of hearts!  It is the answer to everything that is unknown to...

A Saint so greatly loved and adored by many.  He was an amazing Shepherd guiding the flock properly and he was someone in my lifetime that I greatly looked up to.  He sparked the flame of truth for me as a Catholic.  I had the great honor and fortune of seeing him at Central Park in New York City 1980's, and during a papal public audience in Rome, Italy in 2003.  To see him was a gift, to be...

Be Lover's Of Christ!   How do we enter into a meaningful relationship with Christ?  How do we get there?  The first tool in the toolbox is prayer.  Pray the rosary.  Get to know the Mother of Jesus by praying and understanding each decade of the rosary reflecting upon Jesus and his Mother's life. Then pick up a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and learn your faith inside an...
