Begin To Be Afraid
On April 13, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThe Lord has been teaching me a lot about fear lately. This has not been an academic or scientific teaching on fear, but more of a spiritual one.

Asleep in the Boat
On April 5, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThere have been times in my life when all at once it seems that everything falls apart. During these times, as I work to get one thing “under control” something else ends up going wrong and it seems to never end. I can spend most of my time doing damage control all around me, putting
Jesus, Do Battle on My Behalf
On March 24, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodI love this time of year! The buds are beginning to sprout forth on the trees and flowers, bringing with them the new life that comes with spring.

Little Girl, Get Up!
On February 2, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodHe took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!” Mark 5:41 This past year the Lord has given me a pretty heavy cross to carry.

Come To The Water
On January 25, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodAs a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:12 Whenever I read of Jerusalem in the Old Testament, especially in the Psalms, I think of Holy Mother Church.

Lord Teach Me Your Ways
On January 21, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodEver since my husband went through RCIA, I have been on a journey of learning more and more about our faith.

The Glory Of The LORD Shines Upon You
On January 7, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodAs we celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany I wanted to share some thoughts on the virtue of charity and how it relates to the gospel today.

When He Comes Again
On December 23, 2023 by steadfastheartofgodSee, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple.

Behold
On December 8, 2023 by steadfastheartofgodI’m in a Blessed is She women’s study on the Mysteries of the Rosary this year. Each time the group meets, we ponder more closely one of the mysteries of the rosary. We started with the Joyful Mysteries, which are the mysteries leading up to and immediately following the Incarnation. During this time, we have
