Balancing Act

I attempt the difficult balancing act of loving that intellectual part of myself while putting it in its proper place. I don't want my smartness and cool intellect to overwhelm the caring part of me. — from Healing Troubled Hearts

In Good Times and Bad

Today, look around you, and find God in both good news and bad news, in the obvious and in the hardships. The hardships just might exist as a way to draw your hearts closer to Him. — from Ask the Bible Geek

Ven, Espíritu Santo

In time for our Day of Pentecost...I share the following article in Spanish. It is also in English.
Ven, Espíritu Santo

Shine Through Me...

The presence of Jesus among us is just that—a widespread presence among all of God's people. We are able to embed the wonders of the presence of God within us. Each of us can and must be the “Jesus Presence” in this world around us.

— from Eucharistic Adoration

The gift of a daughter...

When our daughter was born...
the world around us became brighter!
The sun shined stronger,
the sky was bluer,
the day was longer...
For a moment,
Life stood still...
as if God was lighting up His beautiful created world to say to us - her parents -
this precious one is unique and special...
Make sure to guide her on the bright path of virtue and truth...Angelina has changed our lives as a family. Her boldness and way of living has inspired me to be a more valiant person...
I thank God this day for the gift of our daughter... A bright and shining light in my life!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! May our dear Lord bestow many, many blessings upon you this day (and every day...) Love you more, Mom (and Dad)
