Note: I have a song to celebrate Saint Therese’s Feast day I remember asking Jesus and St. Therese. “Please illuminate something to me. So if you have something you wish to say, please point it out to me.” I asked this of her today, and ohhh, does St. Therese come through when you ask forContinue reading “A Real Encounter with St. Therese”

Little Way
To be honest, I want to reflect on the innocence of a child. I was out yesterday, heading to my church to make a private holy hour. On the news, NPR, the host of the radio show, said, “Children are able to boil things down to such an innocent truth.” While I was driving, IContinue reading “Little Way”
Strength
I was in church yesterday, praying to Lord as I stared up at the crucifix. I’ve been struggling with a lot of anxieties and just an… sense of great unease. I first thanked God for giving two of his most trusted saints, St. Therese and St. Joan. Thank you for giving me two amazing friendsContinue reading “Strength”
A Letter to Saint Joan
My dearest friend, The words I wish I could speak. The emotions I wish to convey. The Lord alone knows these unknowable feelings that sprout up. The tightness in my chest and the lump in my throat prevent me from truly expressing the things I wish for you to know. I take the most… difficultContinue reading “A Letter to Saint Joan”
Finding God in Little Things.
My dear readers, I had an exciting experience I wanted to share with you. I guess you could say it was in a key series of events of finding God in the most simple of things.

Sometimes we have too much need or want to do to the point that nothing gets done. Yet as Saint Joan tells us, “Act, andContinue reading “The Dynamic Duo: St. Joan, the Little Shepherdess”
The Mystery of Suffering
Hello, my dear readers. I came across a quote from the most adorable and beloved, St. Therese, that I wanted to reflect on. Saint Therese wrote, “I would willingly spend the whole of my religious life in this dark underground passage if by it I might win light for sinners.” That, in essence, is religiousContinue reading “The Mystery of Suffering”
Whom Do You Fight For?
I was reading Mark Twain’s Joan of Arc… If I didn’t know otherwise, I would have thought that he was a Catholic a devoted follower of St. Joan… it’s a bit ironic that he was against religion, specifically the Catholic Church There is a scene that struck me to the core because I so completelyContinue reading “Whom Do You Fight For?”
How did I find God: Part 1
I grew up a cradle Catholic. I grew up going through Sunday School. I went to Confession, and I went to Holy Communion. Yet, I didn’t find God. Of course, I believed that God was in the Catholic Church. Jesus was our Eucharistic Lord who hid under the appearance of bread and wine. I absolutelyContinue reading “How did I find God: Part 1”
Anxiety and the Christian Response
Anxiety is a part of the human condition. So what is the response to this primary human response and emotion? We’re all human. We all have fears and concerns down the road. I think that’s part of the human condition, to be honest. We want to know what is coming down. One reason could beContinue reading “Anxiety and the Christian Response”
