How many times have you ever said, “If I only knew”? How many times have you said, “I had no idea.”? How many times have you said, “You should have told me”? "One fact" in life is that you can never really know, or have an idea, or can count on someone telling you... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow is the Day! Pray for Me :)
I have been smoking since I was about 8 yrs old. I heard my mom say many times that the doctor told her the calming effect outweighed the bad (remember, this was the early 60s). I was “hyperactive” and always in trouble because I could not sit still, so I thought I found a resolution.... Continue Reading →
Not Me, Never! Well, Maybe
You probably have heard the term “cafeteria Catholic”. This is defined as a person who picks and chooses what they want to accept or reject as Truth, necessary, or “relative to life today” from Catholic teachings. Most of the time, this term is used for the people who support abortion, sexual activity outside a consecrated... Continue Reading →
Tears for Memphis
As joyful as I am right now, a piece of my heart cannot help but be sorrowful and angry. Partially through my naiveté and always believing in the good of people, and mostly because of seeing the Holy Spirit doing tremendous things, I thought the chaos in our Diocese was calming down. I learned today... Continue Reading →
I Surrender
It has been a while since I blogged, so I thought I would just share some of what went through my mind so far today in Adoration. This world's definition of surrender connotes defeat, loss and often humiliation. From this world's perspective you never want to surrender to anything or anyone lest you may be... Continue Reading →

On the one hand, Scriptures tell us in a few places not to judge, but then St. Paul tells us to "question everything" and in Matthew we read "by... Continue Reading →
How I remember that fateful day
9/11/2001 Lately, I often find myself thinking of that fateful time. Not as a reminder that terrorism exists. Not as a comment on the immigration controversy, nor the various "lives matter" campaigns, nor any of the issues that are dividing us. How do I remember that day? I remember that for a short time, we... Continue Reading →

Would you take the form of a worm?
I have been praying a lot regarding humility... begging for the virtue itself, but also trying to understand how do I practice it in every day life. There are a lot of opinions of how both man and God define humility or what it means to be humble. Every time I either pray the Rosary... Continue Reading →
A Deeper Love and Respect
An unfortunate incident at Mass tonight led me to my next benefit of Eucharistic Adoration - A deeper love, respect, and reverence of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Through my reading, prayers and meditations during Adoration, I have truly become more aware of the truth in the Eucharist. I select a... Continue Reading →
