Feast Day of St. Dominic - Founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans)

The bride and I are traveling cross country to visit our son, his wife and our two youngest grandchildren. 

I was unable to write something new for this occasion, so I am sharing a previous post in order to give you a glimpse into this great Church leader and the Order he founded.

May something you read there ignite a passion for Truth and zeal for the salvation of souls.

Eucharistic Reflection - Go Be with Him!

Image
" You must spend time in the Presence of God! When you go to church to spend time at Adoration, give your full attention to the Lord. Talk to Him just as if you were talking to a friend or relative. Know that He is there in front of you, waiting for you! All you need to do is to open your eyes and your hearts to God. Even though God knows everything that is in your heart, He wants you to share those thoughts with Him. He is waiting for you to ask Him to help you, your loved ones and others in need.

May these periodic postings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (God willing) generate fruitful discussion and faithful change. I was prompted a few weeks back to go through and empty out my desk drawer. It had been far too long since I had de-cluttered it. I had forgotten the hidden treasures it contained. Then I saw them – about 15 of them. Suddenly, I realized how long it had been since I last went to prison.    Odd, isn’t it. The one place I visited where I was always immensely blessed is filled with men and women whom the majority of us would never voluntarily choose to have anything to do with - no matter that our Faith teaches that all of us, including the greatest sinners among us, were created in the image and likeness of God and that each of us, without exception, by and through the unearned and undeser...

Eucharistic Reflection - Model For Christian Life

Image
(From Hands At Mass )   "Think of how the Eucharist is given: bread broken, wine poured out: this is a model for Christian life. We, too, are called to be broken for others, poured out in service, hidden in love. The Eucharist gives us the strength to live this way, but it also sets the pattern for how we must live.” (Father Richard D Breton from the October 16th 2025 issue of the Wanderer , entitled Learning Humility from the Eucharist )
