The legacy of early Christians, has definitely inspired me to research further the rich history of our Catholic faith.  If only we (our brothers and sisters in Christ) would greatly desire to  expand our knowledge we would certainly have the ability to engage in healthy dialogue, when it comes to reading books that prepare the mind and soul for spiritual growth as we live out the life, we were giv...

Saint Ignatius of Antioch gave his life to Christ.  He knew that there was no other way to live.  He knew he needed to follow Christ.  To die for Christ at the appropriate time of his death.  He could for see the truths of Christ happening in his own journey as he knew he was about to leave this earth and so he left this earth by leaving for us a wonderful legacy.  He was divinely inspired by Chri...

When I was 12 years old, my mother gave me a journal to write in.  It was there my thoughts, dreams, ambitions, were all written, hidden, locked away, with a key in a draw.  This gift my mother gave me was truly a wonderful idea, but it was one that continued silently in the dark.   An idea that didn't grow beyond her gift or beyond my gift to write, if that makes sense.  Then, one day, sever...

We are so connected to the saints in heaven.  Today we rejoice, again I say rejoice, because we all get to participate with Saint Dominic and all of the Dominican Saints here at Queen of Peace. At holy mass, we all beautifully received the holy word of God, and we celebrated together the holy Eucharist.   After this beautiful mass, Filomena received her perpetual promise, connecting her and everyo...

I am sharing this amazing discovery with you from a dear person in my life whom God brought to me, a gentleman who greatly has inspire me in my faith walk over the last four years .   Thank you Allen, for the loan of this wonderfully written book by Father Benedict.  The Reform of the Renewal states openly and freely the truth about our faith, and what is expected of us.  This book opened up my ey...

Praying a Novena is a powerful way of entering deeply into the Holy Presence of Our Lord and Our Lady.  We are so blessed to have these prayers as guides to help us make our journey much more meaningful, through are reflections, meditations, and ritualistic repetitions that bring us into the veil of our holy mother as we rely on her to bring all our petitions and concerns and requests to her Son....

The power of prayer, may we all come to desire it and place ourselves in the silence of our Lord.  We do receive the power of the most high Jesus Christ through every mass, holy communion, confession, adoration, because Christ is alive in us!                               Let's do this more often!!! This power is for the greater glory of God and his children.  Propelling us to live out our be...

We traveled to Poland by airplane, by bus, and on foot,  we walked where my ancestors walked.  We prayed where my ancestors prayed.  Above  ground we saw streets filled with beautiful polish men, women, children, whose lineage is one of great faith, great strength, great talent, whose minds and hearts greatly loved Christ first and foremost.  Professional in every sense of the word, God gave them...

Sing  "All  Praises Be To Mary our Blessed and Holy Mother! Father Patrick Francis O' Doherty reminds us quite often of this truth, " Heaven Is Not A Place, Heaven Is A Person", and that person is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of our beloved parishioners whose name is  Mark, randomly cantors for us before we receive the Holy Eucharist at daily mass.  Just today he looke...

To live in a covenant life with Christ one has to completely desire to sacrifice one self for Christ, in order to truly live in Him!  How do we get there as Christians?  We begin with a more serious prayer life.  Attending mass, going to confession, receiving Holy Communion in a state of grace.  This builds a stronger relationship between you and God.  We have to desire goodness, our hearts have t...

May 27, 2021 I first began publishing my audio narratives online.  It was a project that began two years prior within the adoration chapel.  It was there that God had greatly  inspired me to write my reflections down in a journal.  Instead of just writing and keeping my journals to myself, I immediately felt it was time to share my faith walk, and my journey with Christ. with my brothers and siste...

Just imagine being born without the ability to talk.  What would your life have been like if this were to have happened to you personally.  Do you think you would have become a great listener?  I wonder...That would be quite the handicap.  What if... You were not able to speak and on top of that were deaf to the tone of your own voice ?Some people are born this way too.  I think we can very easily...

Be a woman of silence.  Today is the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi.  Francis shows us "The Way"...  I desire to be found always and completely in harmony with and obedient to God's will, alone in everything.  For death is not an end for us, we are able to in faith and love deal serenely with the coming of Sister Death.  Psalm 139:1-18, 23-24.  How does this give you hope?  Ev...

Bishop Barron ordained six new priests into the Dominican Order.  I was so blessed to have discovered the Dominican Friars on you tube under the title of:  " Six Paths To The Priesthood".  Just a remarkable testimony of six young men called by God to be totally devoted to a personal calling into the priesthood.    Every priest exuded love.  Their love for Mary, their love for Jesus, thei...

Today we call on Saint Michael, Saint Raphael, Saint Gabriel. God had assigned all three angels to help us.  Saint Michael we call on him to protect us as we say the Prayer of  Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou oh prince of thy heavenly host, by the power of God cast int...

May I ask, who is it that you serve?  First and foremost, we must be true to our self.  And from there everything else flows.  When we are true we can be open with others.  When we are not true to our self the barriers go up.  God made us all to be beautiful.  He made us in his likeness and image.  Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we lose sight of this beautiful truth.  We lose sight of God...

I cannot be my best self for myself or for others without being in an authentic relationship with Christ.  I have lived life long enough to know this is impossible.  I do not doubt that God is beside me as I think, write, edit, and publish every page within Debs Podcast.  He is that close to me and I am grateful to acknowledge his almighty and powerful presence.  Tonight I am writing for the souls...

When we examine our conscience, we are filtering through our words, our deeds, and our actions of the day.  This is a good idea, considering all the difficulty, and confusion, happening at one time in our world, which can be very overwhelming for most of us.  To consider an examination of conscience, is to deeply desire keeping ourselves healthy for ourselves and everyone connected to us.  A healt...

We are told that the greatest weapon against all evil that the devil himself is afraid of is the recitation of the Holy Rosary.  The blessed mother is depicted with her heel pressing against the snake, a symbol of the evil one.  Sin unfortunately is running rampant in the world we live in.  So many Catholics have walked away from the Catholic faith, even though they have received all the sacrament...

On June 24, 2022 Roe V Wade was over turned.  It is very sad to know that this deliberate act of taking a life out of a mother's womb had been going on in our world for the last 50 plus years.  The number of children that could have been did not have the chance to experience the life you and I were given by our mother and our father.  Each one of those children all created by God himself were...

Attain the goal of faith.  The salvation of our soul.  Peter 8:  Although you have not seen Him, you love Him.   You rejoice in the indescribable and glorious joy,  as you attain the goal of you faith, the salvation of our soul. Prophets prophesized about the grace that was to be yours. Search and investigate it, the spirit of Christ indicated, the Holy Spirit sent them from heaven, things that in...

Mary our Holy Mother asks us to pray for the world.  We need the intercession of our mother Mary during the spiritual attack and war fare that continues to hurt souls that belong to God.  We begin our prayer every day honoring the request of our mother.  To deny her is to deny our existence.  We, her children must unite as brothers and as sisters in order to have peace amongst one another and peac...

Born. Baptized. Confirmed. We were given the greatest of all these gifts and yet, what do we do with the one important gift that God has given to us.  "Our Being"... He created us in his likeness and in his image. He made us perfect. Our skin, our muscles, our bones, our eyes, our voice, our hands and feet, our hearts, our imagination, our ability to create a thought and bring it to life...
