OT means ordinary time. Today, Saul is in the right place at the right time and is selected to lead the people of Israel. He was anointed by Samuel for the Lord. What a blessing to be chosen by the Lord! As well, in the gospel, Jesus calls Levi (Matthew), a tax collector, to follow…
OT means ordinary time. Today’s gospel is of the paralytic being lowered down through the ceiling to Jesus because it was so crowded at the door. What friends he had to find a way to get healing for this man. What faith they had! Jesus says that his sins are forgiven. I struggle with that…
OT means ordinary time. Today Jesus heals the leper (Mark 1:40-45) “I do will it. Be made clean” Those are the words I want to hear from Jesus. Clean from my sins. The response today is “Redeem us Lord because of Your mercy” Jesus has unstoppable and vast mercy for us. He waits for us…
OT means ordinary time. Today is the story of Samuel being called by God and not knowing it is God. Eli tells Samuel to say, “Speak Lord, Your servant is listening.” Will I know the Lord when he calls me? I pray that I am doing His will and will say YES to Him when…
OT stands for ordinary time. Today I see two miracles in the readings. In the first reading Hannah receives a miracle in her son Samuel. She asks God to provide a son and God provides. Ask and we shall receive! In the gospel, Jesus drives out a demon from a troubled man in the synagogue…

Today we celebrate the journey of the Magi to give homage and gifts to the new born king, Jesus. In the first reading of Isaiah 60:1-6, he says to Rise Up! Reminding me of the new song by Lauren Daigle. He also says to “Proclaim the praises of the Lord”. There’s my word of the…
I always think of January 6th as Epiphany but this year it is January 7th. I will wait until tomorrow. Today’s readings focus on my word of the year, “proclaim”. In 1Jn, God is proclaiming about His Son, that he gave us eternal life through the Son. It also states that those who believe in…
I know a little of this saint since when I was a child, living at home, my mom took classes at Neumann center in Ft. Worth. What a blessing to be a saint! In the gospel, Jesus says to Nathaniel, “you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on…
Joy for the recognized saint today! I wish she was on my birthday, the 11th. First saint of the US. I visited her shrine and school in Maryland. Wonderful history and works she did. Today’s first reading says that the one who sins belongs to the devil! What a frightening thought. Other bible translations say…
