Shalom…

We are still in Easter time. That time between Easter Sunday and The Feast of The Ascension. It is now looked on as the time spent in adjustment. These are the days and weeks we visit each year so as to reflect and be taught anew by The Risen Christ. We learn each year something […]

We are in Easter Time, Paschal Time, and will be for some time to come. We are being immersed ever deeper into The Mystery of the wonder-full, awe-full events that took place 2,000 years ago.

The…Gift…Of…Transformation

We all have been brought together by the power of God’s spirit to be again “dipped and dyed,” in the Paschal Mystery. Each year, we come to an ever deeper understanding of our daily participation in the Paschal Mystery. It is so essential for us to remember, it is a daily participation in the suffering, […]

Stones…

As I focus more on my inner life, I sometimes perceive a big wall of stone within that I have carefully built over the years to protect myself. Now though it seems as if the Spirit living in me is removing some of the stones from my wall. This is very scary and hurtful for […]

Anxiety…

“Deliver us Lord from every evil and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety, as we wait in joyful hope,” so we pray, at each and every Mass. In the Mass, during which we celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage, there is the […]

Mystery…of…Death…and…Rebirth
