I Really Struggled With The Idea Of Mary While Converting, But THIS Comparison Was One Of The Things

I really struggled with the idea of Mary while converting, but THIS comparison was one of the things which conquered that fear.

Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant

Hope means that the agony and the ecstasy of longing for joy this world can never give is a sure sign that I was made by and for One who is joy itself, and Him alone.

My Week

Well that was a pleasant surprise.

Oh no...finally got Covid for the first time.

Oh no! He got it too!

And.....I think I am feeling better.

And that's the end of that part of life.

And that's the end of that little job.

Stay tuned for next week....

Good words.

When you understand that God is never late, you wait differently.

I MADE IT!! WOOT!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

On Being Poor

This is going to sound a bit weird, but as a Catholic I am thankful that I don't actually have a lot. I am not attached to what I have either because none of it is worth much. There is a blessing in being poor. It means that my focus can be elsewhere. I am not talking about abject poverty here, because we have always had enough, and we often have a bit more than enough. I am saying that it is a blessing to be content with that. It is a blessing to not be able to look lustfully and enviously at what I cannot afford and what I do not need anyway. I have learned not to care about such things. I wonder if I had a lot of money, if my life wouldn't be a lot tougher from a spiritual point of view. To be content with enough, with what you have, and to have what you need, truly is a great blessing.
