Weekday Reflections 
The Better Part
“There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” – Luke 10:42 I have often been more Mary than Martha. Prayer time is a priority for me. Or at least it was. Since this pandemic thing took control of our lives, my prayer… Read More ›
Love Forever And Two Days
For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother. – Mt 12:50 My husband and I are celebrating our 41st anniversary today. 41 years that have gone by so fast, in the blink of an eye. We are so blessed and we have not ever taken our relationship… Read More ›
Trust in Jesus
At that time Jesus said in reply, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.” (Mt 11:25) Pharisees rejected Jesus.

Do Not Be Afraid
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. – Matthew 10:31 “So do not be afraid.” Jesus tells us that a lot. In fact it is in the Bible over 300 times. I guess God knows we need that reassurance. Do not be afraid. We are not alone even though it… Read More ›

Jesus, Hold Us Close
I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. – John 17:15 Jesus asks the Father to keep His apostles from the “evil one”. He asks that they be protected from evil. And consecrated in truth. He loves all of His disciples. He… Read More ›
Our Hearts Will Rejoice
So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. – John 16:22 The present time is certainly a time of anguish and grief. So many deaths from this pandemic. So many separations as family members cannot… Read More ›
Come, Holy Spirit
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. – Jn 16:7 I can understand the apostles not wanting to see Jesus go. They really do not… Read More ›
