Savor the Graces

December 20, 2022 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

The benefit of practicing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius in this 30 week retreat format is learning how to Savor the Graces of the week. This is the same kind of practice, or a similar practice to Spiritual Direction wherein you look for the ways God is working in your life, in this moment. … Continue reading Savor the Graces

Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding

October 22, 2022 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

On the wall in my living room is a framed poster of St. John Paul II, there are tickets to the Mass in Central Park and a t-shirt from being "ushers" in Yonkers. In the cabinet is a bottle of water blessed by him at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers. My husband saw the helicopter … Continue reading Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding

Asking for Help

April 25, 2022 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

I'm currently working on editing a video interview. A couple of months ago I knew how to add a couple of features and now, because of lack of practice, I don't remember. Thankfully I have a friend who will help me so I'll be back up and running fairly quickly. This is a good reminder … Continue reading Asking for Help

Book Study: Strange Gods Chapters 4 & 5

May 26, 2021 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

Chapter 4 - The Idol of Prosperity; Chapter 5 - The Idol of Technology I'm taking a bit of a different focus this week with the Book Study by combining the reflections and sharing an experience. First the experience. Yesterday I had a private lesson with one of my students, having scheduled this after checking … Continue reading Book Study: Strange Gods Chapters 4 & 5

In Answer to Prayer

February 29, 2020 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

https://twitter.com/Joeinblack/status/1231179922191847424 One of the thoughts I picked up when working with a friend is, "God writes straight with crooked lines." While thinking about this an image of mountain switchbacks popped into my head. And because of that an image of quilted ribbon candy. Then I thought I'd like to start out every single story with, … Continue reading In Answer to Prayer

On a Desire to Hold Hands

May 6, 2019 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

1992 a good year indeed. After Confirmation and First Eucharist my Sweetie and I started talking about the when and how of getting married. In my family there were three weddings in less than six months, and one of my besties married that year. Celebrating Twenty-seven years with this guy in September Twenty-seven years. Sometimes … Continue reading On a Desire to Hold Hands

A Longing Heart

April 26, 2019 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

Usually around this time of year I spend time reflecting on and in gratitude for the Rite of Christian Initiation process and my coming home to the Church. I'm reminded of Brene Brown's comment that we are hardwired for struggle. That year in RCIA was a struggle that's for sure, and the months leading up … Continue reading A Longing Heart

Lent & Loving Deeply

March 8, 2019 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ 1 Comment

I'm sipping coffee, listening to music, and thinking. When I returned to the Church twenty-seven years ago the experience was intense. From the moment of knowing Jesus in the Eucharist right through the entire Rite of Christian Initiation. The guy leading RCIA made mention more than once of my own intensity. God's grace, and life … Continue reading Lent & Loving Deeply

Going out into the Deep

November 7, 2018 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs Last night just before my Sweetie went to bed I held him close for a moment to thank him for loving me through, walking with me, reminding me of God's love and direction and to pray for that, to be open to where God is leading. This was one of those "I am always … Continue reading Going out into the Deep

Go to the Source

November 4, 2018November 4, 2018 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

The horizon is changing color quickly as the sun begins to rise. Our room here in Houston faces East making it possible for me to enjoy the beginning of the day. The color today begins with a red purple, into a kind of green yellow, into the end of the deep blue night sky. Moment … Continue reading Go to the Source

A prayer by St. Augustine
Prayer:
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy;
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy.

Amen.
