A child of Jesus and Mary.

She is the world’s first love

She is the world’s first love

(an excerpt from “The World’s First Love” by Venerable Fulton J. Sheen) Like unhatched eggs, some of us refuse to be warmed by the Divine Love, which is so necessary for incubation to a higher level. We are in constant need of repairs; our free acts do not coincide with…

The Opportunity for Reparation

The Opportunity for Reparation

Seeing Jesus with the crown of thorns on His head… He doesn’t take it off In His life, He never said, “Begone, suffering!” But rather, “Begone, Satan!” So when we choose the infernal father of lies and a life of pleasure and sin, Jesus reveals the Father of Mercy and…

(from “Introduction to the Devout Life” by Saint Francis de Sales) Picture to yourself a young princess beloved of her husband, to whom some evil wretch should send a messenger to tempt her to infidelity.

Through the Devil’s envy, death entered the world

Through the Devil’s envy, death entered the world

(from the book “The Hidden Power of Kindness” by Father Lawrence G. Lovasik) St. John says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the…

“Suffering completed the work of divine grace in my soul”

“Suffering completed the work of divine grace in my soul”

(from private revelation given to Sister Mildred Mary Ephrem Neuzil of the Contemplative Sisters of the Indwelling Trinity) On October 7, 1957: My beloved daughter, what I am about to tell you concerns in a particular way my children in America.  Unless they do penance by mortification and self-denial and…

To Be Consecrated in Truth

To Be Consecrated in Truth

I’m emotionally unable to let go of an encounter from a few weeks ago… with a woman named Dawn, and her dog, Spirit… she’s one of the homeless in Downtown L.A. As we presented her with items (lunch, grooming kit, etc.), she became a little overwhelmed. I asked if I…

Reclaim the Rainbow (with Father Mike Schmitz)

Reclaim the Rainbow (with Father Mike Schmitz)

I felt that this is a really wonderful video (despite the low volume). I transcribed some quotes that really struck me: “They could have a loving relationship. They could be committed to each other. They can have a mutual upbuilding, all these kinds of things… exclusive. But it’s not marriage…

The Calming of the Storm

The Calming of the Storm

(from private revelation given to Maria Valtorta on January 30, 1944) This is what I saw. A sailing boat, not excessively large, nor very small, a fishing boat, on which five or six people can move comfortably, is ploughing the water of the beautiful deep blue lake of Gennesaret. Jesus…

“I am dying of longing for You”

“I am dying of longing for You”

From the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, #841: O my Creator, I long for You! You understand me, O Lord of mine! All that is on earth seems to me like a pale shadow. It is You I long for and desire. Although You do so inconceivably much for…

To Learn Patience

To Learn Patience

(from a reflection by Father Henri J.M. Nouwen) While Jesus brought great comfort and came with kind words and a healing touch, He did not come to take all our pains away. Jesus entered into Jerusalem in His last days on a donkey, like a clown at a parade. This…
