I am reminded today of a former boss who originally was a co-worker. When he was deciding whether or not he wanted to move into management, he asked me what I liked and what I disliked in a boss. I told him, I only have one thought on the topic - don't ever lie to... Continue Reading →
Why Did We Go There?
Last week a basket showed up on the table in our Narthex that contained "I give on-line" slips. You may ask why I am blogging about this or how this relates to my Spiritual Journey which is what this blog is supposed to be about. It was my initial reaction and then reflection after which...

His Valentine Message (and my most vulnerable post yet)
Valentine’s Day has always been difficult for me. It hurt deeply to see the flowers and gifts delivered at work, all the commercials showing people in love, not being able to walk into a store without the displays hitting you in the face. It heightened my feeling that from a “human” perspective, I am unlovable.... Continue Reading →
The Big Picture
I recognized that this special Priest was one of the members of the Church that seem to get the “big picture”.
God’s Emphasis
I have been struggling for several weeks in my prayers... saying them, somewhat, but mostly writing them. The last several I have written, I felt that I was doing on my own - without the Holy Spirit's or Blessed Mother's assistance (usually, I do not even think it is assistance but actually their words).

If you truly... Continue Reading →

Ruben Villalon-Rivera) and 2 other good homilies, as well as, watched 2 good homilies on the internet, and heard in person one good sermon (not related to the actual readings, but...

He Gave Me Back Time
What an unpredictable but amazing life it is when you let go and let God. The simple things are what floor me the most. Nothing I plan seems to be what happens LOL. For example, I was determined to work on Christmas yesterday afternoon. I had several commitments at Church starting last night and through... Continue Reading →
Cradle/Converted Catholics – Do Converts Make Better Catholics Part II?
It has been a long time coming, but I was re-inspired after a conversation with an elderly Cradle Catholic in the Kroger parking lot the other day. So here is part II of “Do Converts make better Catholics?”. In my musing in the first post, https://blessedadorer.wordpress.com/2018/10/25/cradle-convert-lapsed-catholics-do-converts-make-better-catholics/, I expressed what I have witnessed as the difference between...

Catholics Unite!
To all non-Catholics: Much of what you are seeing on Social Media and the News about the Roman Catholic Church is NOT, I repeat NOT, who we are, what we believe, and what we do. To all non-Catholics: Much of what you are seeing on Social Media and the News about the Roman Catholic Church... Continue Reading →
