Jesus, Do Battle on My Behalf

I 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. The weather is getting warmer and so it’s the time of year when I find any reason I can to be outside; picnics on the porch with

Through Suffering…

In the days when Christ Jesus was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of

Little Girl, Get Up!

He 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. It is one I have come to know well. As I willingly carry it, I have come to realize that it

Come To The Water

As 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. The fulfillment of Jerusalem is the Church, which is the gift given by God to us and for our

Lord Teach Me Your Ways

Ever since my husband went through RCIA, I have been on a journey of learning more and more about our faith. That year spent in RCIA as a sponsor really ignited a fire in my heart. I can remember each week leaving class just astounded at the beauty and depth of truth that can be

The Glory Of The LORD Shines Upon You

As 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. The virtue of charity, being a theological virtue, is an infused gift from God. So unlike the cardinal virtues, which are human virtues that start with us and

When He Comes Again

See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—indeed, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For

Behold

I’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

The Hour and Moment

This prayer stands outside of time. While all prayer does this, the Christmas novena clearly does this through the actual words of the prayer. We are taken by this prayer, from the present moment and placed into the hour and moment of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem with Mary and Joseph. There in that moment we

My Immaculate Heart Will Triumph

“Through Mary we drink of the wellspring of salvation” – From “The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary” I few years ago I was enrolled in the brown scapular and I began reading The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary as part of my morning prayers. Since starting this devotion, the Lord has
