https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ncxba-11a5a8f Can you believe, it happened again? Another week at Mass. Another person walking away with God in her hand. It is the tip or the foundation below the water of the iceberg. Small disregard becomes larger and larger disregard of moral imperatives. The Church is not immune, as we know, but how frail theContinue reading “What Is Going On Is Very Scary”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-yvws4-119bf16 I am not pretending to be holier than thou, I promise! But when I see someone, often many someones, receive Communion like they could not care less, or as if they have other, not so wonderful plans to desecrate the Host, my dander gets kicked up.  That’s God in our hands! That is howContinue reading “That’s God In Your Hand!”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-r5xz8-11914f1 It is easy to think that the times in which we live might be the worst ever. But when you look at past times, and events, you are not so sure. But whether these are the worst times or not, the solution is the response that we make to the existential realities about us,Continue reading “The Worst Times?”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-n4cee-11877a4 Praying is difficult for me. And it’s even harder to pray to Trust Him. I am a creature full of fear about what happens if. . . .a million things. And what if I trust and still the worst happens? The point isn’t whether the worst does or does not happen. The trust itselfContinue reading “Pray Pray Pray for Trust”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-tjma7-117d983 This is a big subject and, as usual, I barely scratch the surface. Is it required that we all be Catholic to be saved? I look to the history, in brief, and give some thoughts as an ordinary old Catholic girl. Best thing to do is for each of us to study, and pray,Continue reading “The ”Privileged Way” or the ”Non-Negotiable Way”?”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-y9982-1172fc4 I have returned to considerations of the Play “Brand”. His “All Or Nothing” should, perhaps, give way to the paradoxical but more compassionate, “All And Nothing”. What do you think?

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-gcxwb-116a43b It has been a discouraging two years, and sometimes it feels like trudging through a desert without ever finding the oasis. I find myself murmuring–complaining–about God’s purposes. A priest friend reminds me of the Psalms, which I have hardly ever spent any time with, and they remind me of God’s Modes of Action fromContinue reading “2022: Continuing the Journey through the Desert to the Promised Land”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vv7yf-1162e42 I suppose this title rather speaks for itself. Here I am doing what is “right” but somehow something is terribly wrong. 

It’s called “All or Nothing”. I ran across this Henrik Ibsen play. I admit, rather ashamed, that I never read anything by Henrik Ibsen, though he wrote very famously, “A Doll’s House” and “Hedda Gabler”. But I found this play while reading about a television show called “The Prisoner” with Patrick McGoohan. It’s all ratherContinue reading “NEWEST EPISODE ON THE PODCAST ORDINARY OLD CATHOLIC ME”
