Father Forgive Them

Today is the second day of the Triduum, Good Friday. The day that Jesus fulfilled the scripture, having completed all that he was asked to do. Last year in this little blog I shared my thoughts about Good Friday, this most solemn day. I reshare that blog here as I truly don’t believe there is…

The Triduum

The final days of Jesus’ life, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, the most solemn days of our Christian life. Today, we begin that final walk, the journey to the Cross—the Triduum, the three final days of Jesus’ life. The Maundy Thursday service has always been meaningful to me. During this service, we will…

Short Little Life Unites a World

Yesterday, a friend shared with me a story about a young family she knows. I’m going to try to share this story being respectful of this young family and yet sharing the incredible love of Christ that worked through the middle of it all. As I listened to the story of this family’s little girl,…

Holy Week

Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I’m focusing this year on trying to be more present during this week to remember our Lord’s Passion and Death. Jesus gave everything for me, for us, and I’m going to do my best to remember the days leading up to and through it. I simply share…

Be Silent

A friend of mine posted something on social media yesterday that caught my attention. I have to admit, I don’t go there much. I post this little blog each morning, wish friends happy birthdays, and pop in later in the evening, usually looking for sunset pictures 🙂 . However, yesterday, her post made me stop…

The Beauty of Nothing

Well is that an interesting title to this little blog this morning? It came to me as I was having my morning chat with Father. You all know that there are many a morning when I ask Him for guidance on what to share here. This morning as I asked my usual question of what…

Monday Wishes

Here we go, the start of a new week. I gave thanks this morning as I talked with Father. Of course, I give thanks every day, but I usually start my Mondays by giving thanks for a new week. It’s a chance to grow closer to Him through whatever may come. Mondays get a bad…

When Music Comes to Life

Last night, my husband and I had a date night. We went to see one of my favorite groups, Mercy Me, in concert. We’ve seen them before, many years ago, and I was just as excited to see them this time. We were supposed to see them last October, but Hurricane Milton forced them to…
