    …Celibacy for the kingdom…

    I stand on my feet,
    With my spine upright,
    My lungs are free,
    I breathe….
    I have arrived,
    I have emerged,
    I have chosen.
    I look around,
    I see,
    I feel,
    I hear…….
    I have already chosen.
    With my hands I firmly shake another,
    With my heart I embrace another,
    To finally rest in you,
    It is yours Lord,
    I have chosen…….
    There is a death,
    There is a mourning,
    A tear is shed,
    That [...]

    …slow…

    Lord,
    I know my progress is very slow,
    But I know Lord that every inch of growth,
    Is one thousand kilometres deep,
    So Lord I walk with you.
    Thank you Lord.

    “God is alone — but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion.”
    Henry David Thoreau, one of my favorite authors, knew much about solitude. His two years at Walden Pond were but part of a life spent marching to his own drummer.
    I have been thinking [...]

    There Is Something Precious In Your Heart

    When I had the opportunity to visit Ecuador, we had a chance to visit a precious metals mine. As we were going, I asked Fr. Julian where it was. “El Corazón.” In english, The Heart. That is the name of the town where the mine is.
    When we got there, I asked [...]

    You must know that there is only one joy that is worth pursuing and that is the joy of living in the will of God…

    Luke 2:34-35 Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
    BVM: “My little children, do [...]

    The Oz Chronicles, Volume 2

    It has arrived! We found an affordable copy on Alibris, after losing an EBay auction for another reasonably priced one (got it for cheaper than EBay too!) – and my son has been devouring it.

    He is practicing geography, 2D art, language, story chronology, narration, plot development, answering what-if questions, creating costumes, re-enacting with Legos, blocks, [...]

    love it: michelle willams at the venice film festival.

    First, she wore this vintage inspired piece for photo/press calls during the day:

    And then…she wore this very demure off-white gown for her premiere that night:

    So beautiful and so feminine…I wish other celebs would take note!

    THE BLOOD

    One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God’s call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. [...]

    Liturgical Footnote #19: The Preparation of the Gifts

    As the collection is being taken up and the offertory gifts are made ready, the Altar is prepared for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  Up to this point, the Altar with the top covered by a white cloth, really should not have anything on it.  The Book of Gospel is placed on the Altar [...]
