Happy Feast Day Our Lady of Lourdes !!

Today is the Feast day of our Lady of Lourdes!! I’ve ben celebrating since 3:33 am. I didn't plan it that way today. But all I can say is that one of the fruits of this long recovery and challenges I’ve had from these two spine sugeries has been a beautiful opportunity for me to draw closer to Jesus and His mother. Truly it Is His grace. So this morning I woke up looked at the clock and wanted to turn around and go back to sleep but something stirred in me and so I put on my prayer routine on Hallow and snuggled back under the warm covers to listen and pray and accepted that I might just fall back asleep and I was okay with that.

Living our potential for the glory of God

  The nuggets from Sunday's Gospel from Matthew 5:13-16 and the reflections from the homily's I heard  were about wasted potential and being who I was created to be, a bold and authentic witness to the to the glory of God.  Boy do I have a long way to go, but just diving deeper into His word, ruminating on what I read and heard yesterday has been with me all day today as well.  Lots of food for thought for me for sure, and maybe some changes that I can work into my Lenten journey next week.....

I love "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas Kempis

  My second go to aside from the Holy Bible is "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas Kempis. There is so much wisdom in those pages!

In the midst of the storm, rest with Jesus!

  Today's ruminating reminded me to snuggle up next to Jesus when I'm feeling anxious, worried or afraid and soak in His peace

His grace always abounds

  Ruminating today on what I heard on Hallow this morning about St. Magdalena Son So-Byok, a Korean mother and martyr who declared "My life is not mine, I cannot deny my God to save my life" and has also been quoted as saying “If I have to die for God, who decides life and death, I will gladly die. But I cannot betray him”.
