I was happy to start my journey of growth and grace last week! Lenten promises or intentions are much more important to me than a new year’s resolution. That resolution seems to revolve around reflection of the last year and goals for the new one. It’s also something that I fail to keep the rest of the year. Lent is […]

Do you feel like you are being tossed in waves that could sink your boat? Life has dealt me more than one challenge. Staying positive and encouraging through the storms of life is difficult. One thing that has helped me is to stop, breath and sit. I’m not really in a boat during a terrible storm. I am here in […]
As director of a faith formation program, I enjoy sharing my newsletters. I also post resources each week on my web pages. This week’s inspiration is Walking in faith, a reason for hope. Our classes start on September 3 so we are getting prepared now. I really appreciate all of our volunteers who help to make this a dynamic and […]
Sometimes, we are looking for ways to inspire our kids. How can we make some real connections? Cooking and baking are one of my favorite pass times and ways to connect. We may have traditional foods for certain times of year or faith celebrations. I love to create. Food is comfort. Food is nourishment. Good food nourishes the soul, too! […]

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation. cf. Psalm 27:1a (this is a great phrase in times of trouble to meditate on. Do you believe? Can you trust in God? Come, Follow Me From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say,“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” As he was walking by the Sea […]
R. Lord come and save us. Cf. ISAIAH 35:4 (Psalm 146) This is the one whom I sent—a PROPHET! John the Baptist has lived like a patient farmer awaiting “the precious fruit of the earth.” From the midst of the “hardship and patience” that he suffers in prison for being a prophet “who spoke in the name of the Lord,” […]
R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever. Cf. Psalm 72:7 Is anyone listening?! As a parent, Catechist (teacher) or even friend, we can feel like we are John the Baptist! We are a voice crying out in the desert. Is anyone listening? Our message that Jesus is coming can get lost in the noise […]
Scripture focus for October 2, 2022 R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. cf. Psalm 95:8 What’s a Parable? A parable is a story with a meaning. It has a purpose. Jesus wanted us to understand something better. And actually do something with it. It is one of the smallest of all seeds (only 2.5mm), but […]
