Deb's Podcast

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...

Reference:  Announcing the Apostolate  Of Common Sense by Dale Ahlquist The Magazine of the Apostolate of Common Sense engages in the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are an apostolate dedicated to evangelization, education, and justice.   Justice, because every child demands it, starting in the nursery.   Education because every parent demands it. Evangelization, because Christ demand...

Author of the Gospel of Matthew.  He wrote on the account of that turning point in his life.  We too need to look at our very own lives in this same manner and discern what God has done and what we need to do to live a full life in Christ.  Matthew was approached by Jesus while working in the taxing booth, he said to him, follow me, and Matthew stood up and followed Jesus. He wrote for his country...

In God's perfect timing all comes to fruition.  Fruition of soul.  Today we are blessed to share my interview as I am about to be temporary promised.  God is allowing his grace to overflow through me by accepting my calling to become a Third Order Dominican.  It's a very exciting time for me, and my fraternity which just received approval from the Bishop of Orlando Diocese.  I so thank o...

Paving the way to live more fully the life God has given.  I am working very hard on perfecting the spirit living within my soul.  We all have an identity.  We all need to identify that identity with Christ.  I am in that exact crossroad.  Today I am moments away from the interviewing process that takes place prior to receiving my temporary promise as a third order Dominican.  I am sharing this mo...

What joy fills the heart of the faithful when they discover great news about a saint and the great works they were chosen to do for God while still living on earth.  No two saints were given the exact same mission to serve.  You and I are no different.  We too like the saints were given a very special task to take on.  And it is up to us to discover what that particular task is through our relatio...

Sincerity of heart, mind, body, and soul.  We are given all these wonderful gifts from God and yet I ponder this important question.  Are we respectful of these divine gifts or are we just taking each and every single one of them for granted?  Great question's to think about but much more importantly deeply reflect upon.  Are we sincere in our person, in our God?  Are we sincere in our family...

Saintly Pope Benedict XVI, has greatly inspired me today, years after his death, I am called by God for a very specific task to openly share his reflection given on Saint Dominic on  February 3, 2010. He had this to say.  Saint Dominc always spoke with God about God.  Can you imagine what that must have been like for those people who were alive during the reign of this great saint. At separate tim...

This audio is a great reflection of God at work in his people.  God does reveal his omni presence when two or more are gathered in his holy name.  This audio in particular holds great meaning to me because some of the members that shared their thoughts to the questions asked have gone onward to receive their heavenly reward.  God placed me in a group of holy men and holy women whose lives exuded s...

It takes a lifetime to really look deep within ones soul to see exactly how one had chosen to live out the precious life that God has granted.  Life is a gift.  And life should be looked at with a magnifier by each of us in order to see the goodness of God weaving greatness through the life time of every individual He has ever created specifically for this important time in the history of ones sou...

During Lent we fast from eating meat, we fast from committing sins.  It is an important part of who we are as Catholic Christians.  We receive the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, ONLY in the state of grace.  We attend mass daily and we frequently show our face to the priest and give our confession after having a well examined conscience. Something worth considering on a daily basis as you pray be...

What is Love?  Love is Christ Jesus.  Love is allowing our free will to be expendible through the love we have for Christ.  That love brings us forth into his eternal presence while still living here on earth.  His love has alot of purpose, his love has alot to teach each and every one of us.  We can be stubborn about love.  We could struggle with loving those who hurt us.  Especially our family. ...

Now more than ever we need a Saint that we can pray to on behalf of our spiritual intentions.  Who better to call upon than the Father of Jesus, the husband of Mary, the parents of our Lord.  Tonight so many prayer requests have come my way and I was drawn very closely to Saint Joseph, and I believe that you too were meant to be drawn to this Saint and learn from Him.  I have included and referenc...

We were once inspired by someone very dear to us.  And we were able to tap into that inspiration at some later point in our life.  And when we recognize the great gift it is to be inspired, we don't waste that inspiration, I believe we build upon it.  For quite some time I have done exactly that never really knowing what it was exactly God had me do but as the decades of my life evolved I beg...

During Lent our Pastor Father Patrick and our Associate Pastor Father Paul bless us tremendously every Friday following mass.  We all gather in the main sanctuary as a church family to recite together the Stations Of The Cross.  The Stations of the Cross, are special prayers.  They bring to our attention our Lord's suffering.  Yes, greatly did He ever suffer so that you and I can have life et...

I pray that you are experiencing the greatest peace during this Holy Lenten Season!  The peace of Christ is meant for everyone.  Christian, non Christian, believers, and even those still searching.  I know from personal experience if one chooses to search far and wide for the truth, they will stumble upon Christ.  I also know that deep down we are all searching for more than what this life has to...

During Lent we are drawn ever closer to God, and ever closer to the truth about ourselves.  (Yikes)  Who we truly are is yet to be determined. And I say that because we have yet to become our very best self! Yet to be .......  Fully in Christ!  When we look up to Christ for all the answers we are never disappointed, disciplined yes, but never dissapointed in the outcome and the journey we begin to...
