Forgiveness is easy to praise, yet hard to accomplish.

Knowing that you should forgive and knowing how to successfully accomplish forgiveness are two different animals.  Deacon Tim points out in this week's podcast that even if you HAVE forgiven someone, resentment can creep back in later if you are not watchful.

A really helpful and provocative podcast. Take a listen!

Grace-filled Moments

Life is comprised of a million moments.

Some moments are trials which must simply be endured, but on occasion, we are gifted with both the moment and the understanding that we are experiencing a glimpse of eternity!

Does the whole concept of Catholic marriage "annulment" seem confusing to you?  Perhaps you've had a personal experience with the granting or denial of an annulment- or else known someone who has.

Cyndi guides Deacon Tim through many questions that a lot of us likely would love to have answered about the Catholic doctrines concerning marriage and annulment, but were to scared to ask.  

What is Your Parish Mission Statement?

This podcast points out that we will never accomplish our goals if we fail to clearly state what those goals may be!

For our non-Catholic friends, a "Parish"  is a territorial unit historically under the pastoral care of one parish priest.  By extension, the people within that area are members of that parish.

So, the real question is: do you and those with whom you regularly worship have an earthly plan with an eternal destination?  Listen to this podcast for an engaging discussion of this issue.

Mysteries, Through Mary

If you think about the lessons and stories in Scripture, they are really quite abbreviated, a "just the facts, ma'am" sort of version of the events.  For me, Scripture really comes alive when I can imagine the real-live people present, their emotions, the details of the situation - the humanity of those events. 

A powerful gateway into the the heart of Scripture is through the eyes of Mary.  Imagine her thoughts as a parent:  the wonder of watching this child grow into manhood........then miracles occur........then the accusations..........then the brutal, unjust death..........then, resurrection!   This glimpse into the life of Christ through the eyes of his mother gives us fresh perspective and new insights into our Saviour. 

 

"Blessing" as a Verb!

Click here to play: Blessings

Many of us are comfortable with the word "blessing" as a noun, such as,   "My wife is a blessing to the world."  

However, "blessing" can also be a verb to denote action on YOUR part.  It's perfectly acceptable (and encouraged) to ask God to confer divine favor/protection/grace upon a person, place, or thing. 

Do we have any "blessers" out there?  Post a comment if you have a "blessing" story to share, and God bless you!
