Ordinary Old Catholic Me

Will You Not Watch One Hour With Me?

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

Really Random Thoughts

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.

The Following Christ Thing

How often do I miss the reality of what it means to FOLLOW Christ. As soon as the slightest suffering comes my way, I am down for the count. How about you? But He offers us a solution in prayer, in letting Him hold us to Himself. It's simple. We complicate it. I complicate it.

Random Thoughts of an Ordinary Sinner

Bad night last night spiritually speaking. Without Grace, I'd be doomed. Without Grace, accepted, responded to, we all would be doomed. Confession. Confession. That's the ticket!

As Veronica Goes So Should We Aim

A close friend, and devoted Catholic died this last month. Some thoughts on her, her Catholicism and on her death. 

Drat, Failed Again

Instead of turning to God I complained, very loudly, with little restraint. Good thing for Confession.

Miracle of Miracles 14:14

Today the exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles at my parish.

Jerusalem Right At Our Doorstep--Carlo Acutus

As part of the Eucharistic Revival, parishes are hosting the Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit that was created by the late teenager, Carlo Acutis, Blessed Carlo Acutis. He saw what so many of us, Catholics even, do not, that the Eucharist is the "highway to heaven". 

Lord, Activate the Glow!

A personal experience this past week I hope generalizes to your life.
