Living The Consecrated Life When we turn our will and life over to the care of God, we embark on living a consecrated life.

Optimism Requires Commitment “Cheap optimism is never spiritual.” We should never be satisfied or resign ourselves to live with anything less than the full expression of God’s love in our life. Never settle for any condition in your life that expresses lack or limitation. Divine Life wants all to be happy, joyous and free, soContinue reading “Optimism Requires Commitment”

The Universe Moved Do you pray expecting to receive or with trepidation? When we pray with doubt, believing secretly in our heart of hearts that God is too busy or we are insignificant or since our hands are not perfectly clean our prayers will not be answered, we are praying with two minds, wanting ourContinue reading “The Universe Moved”

Saint Peter Cried We lay “claim” to things daily, usually without a thought. Whenever we start a statement with “My”, we claim ownership.

GodContinue reading “When We Change The Way We Look At Things….”

Justified Anger and Living on the Spiritual Basis We cannot have our indignation or “justified” anger and live on the spiritual basis.

There are many things in life where we can be lukewarm, wishy washy, kindaContinue reading “Justified Anger and Living on the Spiritual Basis”

Prayer Is Always The Answer 2019 I have not always “really” prayed. Sure, there were those furtive pleas of “please let me pass this (math, English, history, etc.) test,” “please stop the room from spinning” (if you have never said this prayer, I hope you never have too), “please, don’t let her be pregnant, IContinue reading “Prayer Is Always The Answer 2019”

Selling It It is been suggested we “pray with a feather” for prayer should never be hard work.
