Repent and believe the good news! These words from the Ash Wednesday liturgy remind us of our call to live in such a way that we do proclaim the good news. The readings for this Sunday are a good preparation for the days of Lent, which begin on Wednesday. The stories of the lepers can […]
“Amen,” I say when I receive the body and blood of Christ at Eucharist. The “amen” of my response is a simple word. Yet, at the same time, “amen” is a word that confirms for me that the bread and wine I am receiving is Christ. In receiving Christ through the bread and wine during a Eucharist celebration, no […]
“Blue Wheelchairs”Provided by Pexels.com I fell and injured my back. I can see, hear and talk and my mind is as sharp as a whistle. Ninety. Wheelchairs. Bring on changes.

One used in the 1560s relates it to the Old Norse word “hugga,” which meant to comfort. The other related it to the German word “hegen,” which […]
The monastery’s “Peace Pole” I can’t stop reading what Pope Francis, via Fr. Rosica, sends out to me almost daily! He speaks and writes a dangerous message to those of us who desire to be followers of Jesus Christ, and yet, his message is full of direction on HOW to fulfill not only God’s desire, but […]
Happy New Year. Many people like to make New Year’s resolutions that may focus on physical health, such as a healthier diet or renewing an exercise program.
