Oh Happy Fault Between the weather and the overly soft pillow there is a dull ache residing in my head that even with the something I take for headaches waxes and wanes. At the end of each day of Creation God called it, "Good," for so it is. We, here and now, call today, Friday, … Continue reading Good Friday
Savor the Graces
Luke 17: 11-19 "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well." Jesus said this to me as I knelt before Him. Thanking him. Praising Him for healing me of leprosy.

Except that during Lent … Continue reading In Between

When he asked what I wanted to do over the weekend -this was it. We started … Continue reading Building Callouses

Harry said at mass “there are six weeks until Lent begins” and added, “you know the Crib and the Cross are never that far apart.” Ash Wednesday is two weeks … Continue reading Invitation
