The Only Way to Heaven

Let us take courage, my very dear Sisters; the Cross, it is true, awaits us at every turn, but it is the way to heaven. 

~~Saint Mother Theodore Guerin~~

Tomorrow on CNN there will be a documentary about the canonization of Mother Theodore.  Please watch.  It promises to be most enlightening.  It airs at 8:00 p.m.

Reflection of the Day

Reflection of the Day

How precious the gift of the cross, how splendid to contemplate!  In the cross there is not mingling of good and evil, as in the tree of paradise:  It is wholly beautiful to behold and good to taste.  The fruit of this tree is not death, not darkness, but light.  This tree does not cast us out of paradise but opens the way for our return.   ~~Saint Theodore the Studite~~

Still Anticipating at 65

Advent is such a beautiful season.  It is time for renewal, it is especially a time for forgiveness, because brings this forgiveness o us in the shape of his Son.  ~~Catherine de Hueck Doherty

On this the occasion of my 65th birthday, I just want to say that Advent is a wonderful time to be born.  My whole life has been one of anticipation.  And no season says it better than Advent!!!
