We root for the underdog, because we are all underdogs.
“We Need Each Other”
I enjoy reading about groupings of saints; holy people that knew each other and helped each other in fighting the good fight of faith. We read the other day about Mother Cabrini and Pope Leo XIII. Most of us are familiar with the lives of Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa…. talented and holy people that collaborated in changing the … Continue reading “We Need Each Other”
“Can Loose Ends Be Good ?!?”
I often experience a certain “literary tension” when I’m preparing my BLOG. It goes something like this: I’m trying to make a particular point, but realize that several loose ends are hanging . Yet in order to write a daily BLOG, I’m limited in time and unable to tie up all the loose ends; this BLOG needs to … Continue reading “Can Loose Ends Be Good ?!?”
“Work Cabrini, Work”
The mass readings in November stir my heart. We of course have the great feast of All Saints where we honor the “Hall of Fame Saints”, but then we celebrate All Souls Day where we look to the rest of the holy men and women …more like you and me. These are the souls also precious to the Lord. But … Continue reading “Work Cabrini, Work”
“Hey, I’m No Jimmy The Greek”
Future saint or sinner?!? Gamblers think they have a special gift in predicting the future; yet in the long run most of them end up broke. At times all of us give it a try…. from predicting the weather, to the elections, to ball games. In 2022 you heard “no way the Yankees aren’t bringing home … Continue reading “Hey, I’m No Jimmy The Greek”
“The Kids Will Be Okay”
The news of the day is not encouraging…. wars, declines in our culture and society, an inability to agree on even the most basic of truths, and the trends seem to be heading the wrong way. With that in mind, it’s not uncommon for the elderly to express concern about the life they’re leaving to … Continue reading “The Kids Will Be Okay”
“For All The Saints”
The Communion of Saints includes the Church militant (Church on earth), Church suffering ( souls in purgatory), and the Church triumphant (the Church in heaven). You and I who are reading this BLOG are part of the Church militant; we are still in the fight. Our destiny is still up in the air. Having just celebrated All Saints and All … Continue reading “For All The Saints”
“Dance Like Nobody’s Watching”
I saw an interview with the newly elected Speaker of the House Michael Johnson. He spoke about his “adopted” first son whose challenges, including skin color (he’s black), made it more difficult for him to grow up than for his second son who was white. He commented that every person has a different path in … Continue reading “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching”
“We Can’t Fix The World”
Sometimes I tend to fixate on solving all the world’s problems. I spend time thinking about how I’m going to settle the war in Ukraine and the “crazy developments” in the Middle East, and of course China, oh let’s not forget the increasing chaos in our own country, not to mention the church. And I … Continue reading “We Can’t Fix The World”
