Thought of the day

If I'm going to be paying for insert thing here, I ought to determine where that thing called money goes.

Back from retreat...and so I'll try to get some thoughts out.

Fact of the matter is that I haven't been home, and have not had a chance to type out my handwritten notes from the retreat that I went on.

Before I begin though, if you can pray for a priest named Fr. Matthew, I'd (and he'd) appreciate it.

The theme of the retreat was the Family: The Martins, for those of you that know me, know I have a particular affection for St. Therese (and St Tatyana, whose feast day it was yesterday)...

a. There are certain sins that are deep symptoms of loneliness and regret. One should avoid these things, remember that in God is strength, and not other people.

b. It is important to have a disposition of silence so that God can speak. This is the spirituality of Carmel.

c. To conquer the past, one can't do it on their own. Some anger with God is healthy, but can' dwell or be a perpetual pity fest.

More to come....

Thought of the day

Silence is a disposition, not merely an absence of noise.

Please pray

For myself, and all of us that will be going on the OCDS retreat this weekend.

If you need any intentions prayed for, please mention them, so I can bring them before Our Lord.

The theme of the retreat: The Family, the Martins...(haha Therese, hahahahahahaha, very funny)

Thought of the day...

Do little things, do those little things with the greatest love possible.

Thought of the day

The idea of multiple fathers can make life a bit confusing for a child. Perhaps it's best to not do that to a child. One mother, one father, good enough.

Happy Birthday to my dear St Therese

And so today is the nativity of the most important woman in my life, not named the BVM, Mrs. M, my own mother, and my sister...

More later today
