with our real absence!"

Eucharistic Reflection - You Are There! You Are There!

Image
Dearest Lord Jesus! You are present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist, we know.  Sometimes, as in the miracle You granted us in Bordeaux, France in 1822, You appear as a person, blessing the faithful.  Sometimes, as in Chirattakonam, India, in 2001, You appear as an image.  Particularly poignant to me are the miracles in which the Eucharist becomes a piece of flesh.  I’m thinking specifically of the 1996 miracle in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since this was obviously a miracle — You allowed the Host to turn into flesh and stay uncorrupted for 3 years in the Tabernacle—then Cardinal Bergoglio allowed a sample to be sent to a doctor without sharing any information with the doctor about the source of the sample.   The doctor, a cardiologist/forensic pathologist, was disturbed by the fact that the sample was a piece of heart muscle that belonged to a living person when taken, and that this person had been beaten about the chest (as evidenced by...

Monday Musings - Unless

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - March 19, 2026

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. Ven. Fulton J. Sheen "Because kindness is related to love, it follows that the kind person loves another not for the pleasure the other person gives, not because the other person can do us a kindness in return, but because the other person is loveable in himself...To a great extent the world is what we make of it. We get back what we give. If we sow hate, we reap hate; if we scatter love and gentleness, we harvest love and happiness. Other people are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast. The kind person bears with the infirmities of others, never magnifies trifles , and avoids a spirit of fault-finding." (From  Way to Happiness )   Paul Washer "Your children will go to public school and they will be trained for somewhere around 15,000 hours in ungodly secular thought. And then they'll go to S...
