In Anticipation of the Ressurection

Thinking on the Transfiguration of Christ. Matthew 17:1-9 Jesus takes three of the disciples up a high mountain and he is transfigured before them. His face becomes like the sun and his clothes become white as light. Then Moses and Elijah appear to them and Jesus is speaking to them about his future exodus. ThereContinue reading “In Anticipation of the Ressurection”

Intimacy with God

My friend shared this picture and it got the wheels to turning (thanks friend for sharing). At first I thought this was good, then I thought, “No, that’s the second most intimate thing.” My spouse and I pray in public. There are are some things that are intimate that no one should do in publicContinue reading “Intimacy with God”

Jesus Did Not Take My Place on the Cross

I started struggling with the whole notion that Jesus “took the nails for me” or that “ Jesus took my place”. What do we mean by that? I decided it did not make sense to me anymore. Jesus could not have taken the nails for me or taken my place, because I would not haveContinue reading “Jesus Did Not Take My Place on the Cross”

Here I am Again Talking about Confession

So, next weekend is the Catholic Conference and I am looking forward to it. I will go to confession since I am such a procrastinator and do not make time for confession. The main problem for me starts with discernment. Romans 7:7-12 7 What then can we say? That the law is sin? Of course not!Continue reading “Here I am Again Talking about Confession”

On the Sacraments and Receiving Grace

1 Corinthians Tradition of the Institution.  23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, 24 and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembranceContinue reading “On the Sacraments and Receiving Grace”

So Thankful for the Church

There is nothing like receiving Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Catholic Church.  You will not find Him anywhere else.  His Holy Spirit is present everywhere, but you will not find Christ super-substantially present in your midst, except in the Church that he founded through His Apostles and their successors.  So I wokeContinue reading “So Thankful for the Church”

You R Unique

So I’m working on a little craft project that I started a few years ago. I did not know what I wanted to do with the shells we collected at the beaches we visited. (St. Augustine, Fl and Sanibel Island, Fl) God has been showing me things in nature, and that by observation we canContinue reading “You R Unique”

Jeremiah 31:12-14 (DR 1899)

Verse 12 speaks of the mass. We go up to the house of the Lord to receive the grain and the wine and the oil.  Our souls are watered, and we no longer hunger, for we know where the source of life presides. 12 And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: andContinue reading “Jeremiah 31:12-14 (DR 1899)”
