When we spend time with Jesus we become like Him.

Why are we not encouraged to do so?

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...

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - December 19, 2024

December 19, 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. Venerable Fulton J. Sheen “The Christian soul knows it needs Divine Help and therefore turns to Him Who loved us even while we were yet sinners. Examination of conscience, instead of inducing morbidity, thereby becomes an occasion of joy. There are two ways of knowing how good and loving God is. One is by never losing Him, through the preservation of innocence, and the other is by finding Him after one has lost Him. Repentance is not self-regarding, but God-regarding. It is not self-loathing, but God-loving. Christianity bids us accept ourselves as we really are, with all our faults and our failings and our sins. In all other religions, one has to be good to come to God—in Christianity one does not. Christianity might be described as a 'come as you are' party. It bids us stop worrying about ourselves, stop concentrating...

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - January 2, 2025

January 02, 2025

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. Father Jose Gonzalez “Reflect upon the unique mission that God has given to you whatever he has called you to do with your life it is a calling given only to you do not run from it do not reluctantly accept it instead run to it with your whole being and allow God to do great things through you.” (From Catholic Daily Reflections - October 20, 2024) St. Teresa of Avila "We must beg God constantly in our prayers to uphold us by His hand; we should keep ever in our minds the truth that if He leaves us, most certainly we shall fall at once into the abyss, for we must never be so foolish as to trust in ourselves. After this I think the greatest safeguard is to be very careful and to watch how we advance in virtue; we must notice whether we are making progress or falling back in it, especially as regards the love of our neigh...

Eucharistic Reflection - He Never Rests

December 16, 2024

" It is nightfall...One by one the lights go out in the dwellings of men...Millions of stars twinkle in the vast vault of heaven...But on earth one only star still glimmers - the tiny star of light in the sanctuary lamp. Its feeble rays struggle through the windows of a little church...it moves unsteadily to and fro...until it reaches you...Do you not see it? Jesus sends it to tell you that He never rests, that day and night, year in and year out, His heart is busy loving you, and the poor, and the unhappy - yes, even those who crucify Him." ( Eucharistic Whisperings - Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.)
