The Big Choice
The time we live here on earth is not our full life. It's more of a practice, or preparation, or pre-game warmup for what is really our life. Our real life is the eternal life that comes after this. While we are here on earth we need to make a decision about how we want … Continue reading The Big Choice
A Gift for John
John hung the towel on the hook and opened the door to the bathroom. He slowly took the 2 steps across the hall to his bedroom, holding the door jamb to steady himself. From the door of his bedroom to the bed was a step and a half and then he could lean down to … Continue reading A Gift for John
He Waits
He waits. Waiting for souls who want to share their lives with Him. Waiting for souls who want to become one with Him. Waiting for souls who know Joy through Him, with Him, and in Him. He waits, for them. I kneel, looking at the tabernacle, knowing He is there, waiting. Waiting and hoping that … Continue reading He Waits

This past April, Cardinal Collins published a pastoral letter about the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I had previously heard of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but I knew next to nothing about it. Curious about it, I went looking for the pastoral letter and found it here: (https://www.archtoronto.org/en/offices-and-ministries/sub-sites/sacred-heart/sacred-heart-jesus/). I have learned a lot from it, … Continue reading Read the Sacred Heart of Jesus Pastoral Letter from Cardinal Collins.
No Hiding from God
Many years ago I was riding my motorcycle across southern Saskatchewan. I’d left the trans-Canada highway, and was riding about as far south as you can go in Saskatchewan, parallel with the US/Canada border. At one point I came to the top of a rise, pulled over to the dirt shoulder, took off my helmet, … Continue reading No Hiding from God

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. … Continue reading Our Father
