Deb's Podcast

I find the greatest delight in studying the Catholic faith.  You too can find that pearl of great price, the moment you arrive in the company of the Holy Spirit, living inside of you!  Fear not to be within the greatest of all company.  I am reminded of the greatest gift I had received when God had invited me personally to attend my very first adult bible study class offered at our church within t...

Purgatory.  We as Christians are taught about purgatory.  The majority of us will first enter into this state to be purged of all past sin.  Not all will be taken by God and go directly to heaven.  We don't really know the true depth and knowledge of what heaven, hell, or purgatory will be like, but we have an idea because we were taught by early Christians, who knew Christ first.  And even a...

Truth...  God's greatest gift to humanity is your soul...  Why?  Because your very soul, will go on to live forever, when your body begins to fail and die.  We are solely, His amazing creation.  We are all solely, filled with Christ, and with endless possibilities, deriving from a most brilliant imagination, passed onto us from Adonai.  If only we could tap into the righteous resourcefulness...

What will it take for us to recognize that every single moment we live, is given to us, as a precious gift from God?  If only we could once and for all just take our very eyes off of ourselves, and choose to pay more attention to Christ, our lives would dramatically change for the better.  If Christ would present himself as you read Deb's podcast, what exactly would you say to Him?  Would you...

Yes!  Our Lord is near!  Oh how blessed we are to have a keen awareness of his presence.  There is so much he wants to reveal to his children.  If only we could make him our main focus in everything we do.  Yes, our precious Lord is near!  He is with us now, as we pray together, as we unite for his greater glory.  The Lord wants to reveal himself, his mighty power, and beautiful presence is ours! ...

Our prayers greatly impact our life journey.  Our prayers feed our soul, strengthen our mind in overcoming obstacles that could of other wise, deeply damaged us in the process, instead our prayers lift us out of our present predicament, we endure the gravity of great trials, and having Gods blessing through the consistency of our daily prayers, God fills us in our souls spirit with greater hope, g...

We are called and personally invited to enter into a personal relationship with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  Be not afraid.  Be trusting.  Place all of your trust in our Lord.  He will guide you, protect you from all harm and all evil.. He will make your path straight.  He will remove all confusion.  His power will rest upon you.  Your responsibility is to answer yes to his call.  He will in...

For my dearest friends in Christ, for my dearest family members in Christ Jesus, I have devoted all of you who are suffering in Christ physical pain without relief, please know my every prayer and every rosary along with every Eucharist is received in honor of your special intention for great healing.  I love you all.  Our precious daughter, our dearest church family members neither of you are alo...

Blessed .  You and I are blessed beyond measure.  You and I are of great worth.  Yes, we come from great stock!  We come from our Lord!  And we mysteriously come through our mothers womb and we mysteriously enter into this universe naked, without a compass, given life by the creator of all life, we receive a tiny body created by a genius, inside of it are cells, veins, bones, capillaries and blood...

God is everywhere.  God is in all of creation.  God is in us.  God wants us to recognize his presence.  I think when we walk closely with God, we can see our life through a very special lens, and watchful eye of God.  God can do anything.  Especially in and through us, his greatest of all creation.  He wants what is best for our lives.  And we can really live out our best life yet, if we choose hi...

Today I would like to honor a dear friend and share with you her beautiful legacy.  She was very instrumental in bringing Christ closer to me.  Although honestly, at that time , I had no idea this was happening.  It was definitely Christ living in her touching and enriching every life she was coming into contact with.  On the very first day entering into our church, she just so happen to be leavin...

How do we experience God's love to the highest degree?  It isn't as simple as one might think.  First we need to recognize that we have an important role to play in that process.  You and I, whether we realize it or not, we are children of God.  And on one very fine day, we will return to God.  He will come for us and take us back to himself.  It is, a very beautiful reality, being a Chr...

Like Mary, all mothers love their children.  Like Mary, we are called to follow in her footsteps.  Her fiat.  Do whatever the Lord tells you!  But how do we hear the voice of God calling?  Is it possible?  All things are possible in our Lord!  All things are possible in our Blessed Mother Mary.  I am excited to speak with you about her.  She is veiled and robed in glory.  Conceivd without the stai...

The beauty of service is profound in the eyes of the beholder.  The past five days have been a glorious experience in serving God through serving our youth.  Jesus must be very pleased with the outcome of the efforts of every adult and teen participating in this important mission of retreating in Christ.  Christ began to touch the hearts of everyone in the room.  We all walked in shy and at the en...

Holiness.  Delving deeper into the holiness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  How do we go deeper into the faith that we were given?  Desire.  We must desire Christ first.  We must place Christ first in all things.  When we make this decision an important part of our life on a daily basis, we are no longer the same.  We are one in Him.  And a newfound journey begins in us through that relation...

One hundred and twenty two pages of truth being shared to the faithful, a priceless reference for anyone seeking to grow in their faith with our holy and our blessed ever Virgin Mother Mary.   Quote of Mother Teresa of Calcutta on The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood... "From reading portions of this book, I can see how well it is written, so true to the teaching of Mother Church and such an aut...

In this episode of the reflection of our Blessed and Holy Mother Mary, Father John Paul Mary had more to share, I only overlooked it in my notes.  Israel is found by the grace of the church.  Virgin made Church or Virgin who became church, spouse of the the holy spirit, the new eve, mother of the new creation.   Saint Ireneaus.  God does not force himself into the world.  Mary's consent is cr...

Taking our eyes off of our selves and placing our very eyes upon Christ.  Look at him on the cross! What do you see?  What is Jesus saying to your heart?  Gaze upon him.  And go deeper into the silence.  Stay there for just a while.  Give this time personally to Jesus.  Setting aside time for yourself.  You now desire to give your time to Jesus.  What exactly does that feel like to you?  How is th...

Gut level honesty is necessary in life to overcome the pain in ones past.  A clean heart create in me O' God!  Does your heart need to be cleaned?  Your sins are red as crimson, but Jesus wants to make you white as snow.  Allow him the honor to step in and clean up house!  Your spiritual house, your interior soul!  Something amazing awaits the person who has the courage to step forward and co...

The Cross.  After mass,  I had decided to spend extra time in the sanctuary with God.  After receiving the holy eucharist I wanted to enter into more deeply the silence of Christ.  It was difficult.  Reverence in the church after the mass dissapates.  It's a problem when you have great concern and need to speak directly to God about it.  I had to ask the congregation to be silent!  I went bac...

This is perhaps the most beautifully written meditation dedicated to all Catholic priest's.  I was given a copy of this priceless gem on November 5, 2003.  And our Lord has brought it to my attention today to encourage all of us to a deeper prayerful life devoted to prayer and devoted to the priesthood.  Fr. Gobbi of the Marian Movement of Priests has blessesd us with his writings and reflect...

I am greatly honored to share with you the holy experience we had at the Shrine in Hanceville.  It is a real treat for anyone interested in the great work of one wonderful human being who heard the call to serve Christ globally, and listened, and as she listened God's perfect plans unfolded.  Mother Angelica was in tune with our Lord.  She is a  saint in my day, devoted to prayer, devoted to...

Finding our way to humility.  I think it is one of the most important ways that you and I can rediscover ourselves through learning, through listening, through understanding ourselves and others much better than we do.  In Michael Caseys book "Living In The Truth",  he states this.    Humility brings fundamental happiness that is able to cope with external difficulties and sorrows .  Sto...

Christ desires to live in all his people.  What creatures desire altogether is another story.  But we need to remain on point.  We must decide whether we are going to live this life within the power of prayer that opens up our soul to the spirit that lives deep within us.  Cracking open our inner desires to know about the spiritual forces that surround us.  We cannot remain oblivious to this most...

I am truly blessed to have a friendship among the faithful.  I have a wonderful group of married couples who gather every month to celebrate the friendship we share with our precious Lord.  Every day that goes by I am most blessed to be amongst these men and women who feed me the truth about life, faith, friendship and most importantly the friendship we all share in Christ.   Christ has brought us...
