A PERMANENT QUESTION

When we spend time with Jesus we become like Him. Why are we not encouraged to do so?

Oh, How I Miss This Sacred Space

Eucharistic Reflection - The True Light

January 21, 2025

The Lay Dominicans of St. Joseph Province invite you to spend some time with our Eucharistic Lord. They pray that the reflection that follows (as well as the other 174 in their book, Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoratio n ) will draw you to Him and provide you with much to ponder, meditate and contemplate. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Last night, Lord, on a dark and starless night, with no moon in evidence, a lone star was shining and breaking through the darkness. It had a brilliant radiance. The star was surrounded by the reaching branches of trees, which seemed so much like the distractions and the problems of our lives which try to tear us from our focus on the Light. The radiance of this star kept calling to me again and again, drawing my attention to the radiance. I was unable to tear my gaze away. Is this what the star of Bethlehem was like? Did it so penetrate and permea...

Book Review - One Hour for My Priest by Tina Jost

January 23, 2025

"When a respected friend and fellow author suggested I get a copy of Tina Jost’s book One Hour for My Priest , I followed her advice. When I received it, I skimmed through it to get a feel for it. It was not until I brought this gem of a book with me to Adoration that it became alive! I cannot recommend this book more highly. Our priests are under attack. We can no longer be timid in our prayer support for them. Remember: No priests, No Eucharist, No Mass, No Sacraments. Join the battle to strengthen our priests and to save souls."

Virtual Blog Tour - Mentored for Good by Keith Lilek

What a privilege it is to participate in this Virtual Book Tour! In the past, I have been the beneficiary of authors who participated in Virtual Blog tours for several of my books. When I am asked to reciprocate for a fellow author, I generally jump right in. That was the case when a friend asked me to take a look at Keith Lilek's Mentored for Good. I had no idea who Keith was. I soon learned this about him: He has dedicated himself to learning, absorbing knowledge, and living out the teachings of his faith... He is happy with who he has become...but he didn’t get there by himself. He is the beneficiary of many God-inspired mentors throughout his life. Their guidance and wisdom have shaped him into the person he is today. Do you remember who lifted you at various times in your life? Who inspired you to actively change your course? He does. He remembers. He remembers them all. And he wants to share with you how their guidance and his willingness to learn transformed his...

Eucharistic Reflection - God Is Thirsting for Our Love

January 21, 2025

God is love and He loves each of us more than anyone can. And what does He want from us? Love! When you love Him, you become like Him and you are united together as one! When you grow to love Jesus more, you will feel a very special and deep closeness with Him and a growing awareness of His presence in your midst. When a soul feels His love, it will be overflowing with love, peace and joy. It will be drunk on the love of God. Stay still with the Lord. Just as the baby falls asleep in his mother's arms, fall asleep in the presence of the Lord. Instead of gossiping, bring Jesus all your worries and concerns. Tell Him, instead of your friends! God is my best friend! He will never leave me or forsake me. He loves me unconditionally! In the Sacrament of the Eucharist, You Lord have left us a memorial of Your Passion. Help us, we beg You, to so reverence the Sacred Mysteries of Your Body and Blood that we may constantly feel within our lives the effects of Your redemption. You wh...

Don't Overlook This Palm Sunday Message

Thank you Father Darr Schoenhofen: Palm Sunday without Palms This day, the beginning of an extraordinary Holy Week of unprecedented imposed penitential deprivation, open your hands, palms up toward heaven, and pray: Jesus, our King, ridiculed, rejected, and crucified for our sins, have mercy on us, for we have sinned; have mercy on us, Lord, for we have sinned .

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - November 21, 2024

November 21, 2024

Pondering Tidbits of Truth is my simple and inadequate way of providing nuggets of spiritual wisdom for you to chew on from time to time. Dan Burke and Connie Rossini "When we have too many vocal prayers to say, our goal easily changes to getting them done instead of praying them well. They become less, rather than more, contemplative. The Holy Spirt might be moving us to linger silently on the meditation of a mystery, but we feel that we can't stop or we will never fit all our prayers in. So we find ourselves working against the Holy Spirit...We forget that the very purpose of prayer is communing with the Lord." (From The Contemplative Rosary ) Dom Lorenzo Scupoli "No creature ever loved Jesus Christ more ardently, nor showed more perfect submission to His will, than Mary, His mother. If then, this Savior, immolated for us sinners, gave His mother to us, an advocate and intercessor for all time, she ca...
