We live in a world that sometimes conveys to me “be tough…never let them see you cry!” So we are trained to bottle up all our emotions. It’s possible to see little children on television with tummies that are swollen from malnutrition and not connect with their pain. I remember... Read More →

In the front hall of my tar-paper house where I lived when I was five years old we made a small altar and placed a picture of St. Theresa the Little Flower with a small vase of fresh-cut flowers.  It was such a joy to kneel on the floor in front of the little altar and pray….... Read More →

Would you like to join my mission of encouraging people to pray at 3pm, the time Jesus died for us? I have this dream of people all around the world, meditating on the Passion of Christ and standing at the foot of the Cross of Jesus each and every day in memory of the greatest... Read More →

In this reflection I consider ways in which we lose Jesus in our world.   The world’s way is commonly NOT God’s way.  Consider the following… Results, Process and Effort  The world focuses on results.  Have you ever had a boss who said, “Get to the goal, I don’t care how you get... Read More →

Divine Mercy is, in my opinion, the name that describes Jesus the best.  Jesus is Divine and Jesus is Our Merciful Lord who suffered so much to open the gates of Paradise to us. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”  John 15:13... Read More →

Every day at 3pm, the time Our Lord died on the Cross, I pray.  I walk the Way to Calvary as I meditate on His Passion and then I stand at the foot of the Cross looking up at Our Holy Lord suffering for our salvation.  Do you ever wonder what Our Lord saw from the Cross, as He... Read More →

Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.” Matthew 5: 8 When I think of being pure of heart, I think of children. They are naturally kind, trusting, giving…assuming they have been raised in families that are loving and kind. Jesus said, “Let the... Read More →

In my city I have seen billboards that say “Have fun there’s probably no God.  Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”.  These marketing campaigns are funded by Satan.  The devil is everywhere luring people into meaningless lives and empty relationships.  But we don’t have to fall... Read More →
