Ordinary Old Catholic Me
There are lots of Catholics like me out there. We are lifelong practitioners of a certain age, folks who remember Pre-Vatican Two and were thrown into the deep end of Post-Vatican Two where we still swim. We are well read, but we are not theologians. We need to stick together so that we can navigate the tides of modern life which are probably just as choppy as they were 2000 years ago. Ordinary Old Catholic Me is Ordinary Old Catholic You. Let‘s walk together!

Last weekend I dove, as it were, into the Rules for Discernment of Spirits at a Seminar at St. Peter Chanel Church with the wonderful, brilliant and humble Fr. Tim Gallagher. What a blessing! I just want to share a little with you, and encourage you to explore! There is plenty of source material and spiritually educational tools. A way to Consolation and a bulwark against Desolation!

Struggle. Struggle. That's all sometimes I seem to do? How about you? The world around us is so profoundly difficult, in small and of course in the large things barrelling toward us. It gets to be overwhelming, and I lose the trail to God. It is critical to keep looking toward Him, no matter what. I tell that to myself, and to you!

Another week, another obstacle. It's the same for all of us. As a Catholic, I know how I ought to respond. Alas, I fail utterly. Thus the importance of prayer, of the Sacraments, of learning to let God take the reins. It's a battle.

The events, the barbaric actions of other human beings, just can't get it out of my mind. Can you? Life can change, and end, often at the hands of our fellow men, in a moment. Be awake. Be prepared. It's God, or the Devil.

Gethsamane on my mind and the opportunity we have every time we are at Eucharistic Adoration. More than an opportunity. A necessity.

A moment driving up on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles started my thinking about how difficult it is to stay on the narrow road and reminded me what I have to do to DO IT! Old news, usual difficulty in absorbing it.
