The Luminous Mysteries The Baptism of Jesus My Lord, there is so much to contemplate with this great Mystery – but in this meditation I am concentrating on 2 aspects – the Humility demonstrated by Yourself and St. John the Baptist, and the revelation of the Holy Trinity. You showed Your humbleness by asking St.... Continue Reading →

Rosary Meditations for Our Priest Convocation – The Sorrowful Mysteries
The Sorrowful Mysteries The Agony in the Garden My Jesus! Throughout Your life, You experienced every pain that we could possibly experience – but more intensely. Ever so much in the Garden!

Scared but I Remain Hopeful and Blessed

At Which Parish Can I Do the Most for His Glory?
I have never really discerned where I belong as far as a Parish is concerned. Until I was led to Eucharistic Adoration, I was never even registered at a Parish. I went to Mass where ever. It was not until my current Pastor chastised me for being a roaming Mass goer, that I even considered... Continue Reading →
