Mondays

I don’t like Mondays. There is no morning mass in our parish. I have to start my day without our Lord in my belly. 😞

Charisms part 1

CharismsPart 1
Each of us, thru the power of the Holy Spirit are graced with a charism. Some, maybe just for one time; some forever. But how do we know which one, or ones. Or, perhaps what we think is a charism, is merely something we are particularly good at.

I have found a way to navigate these graces. Or should I say, I am blessed with a way to navigate. Recently, I asked my Spiritual Mentor to help me rediscover my purpose in our church, our parish. I had retired recently and found myself without direction or purpose. But, I did know, I wanted to spend more time serving the glory of our Lord.

Imagine, if the Spirit has blessed you with the blessing of Miracles. Maybe, one time, one person , at one specific time, someone had the gift of Prophecy.

The list is not all inclusive, for the Spirit of God uses us as He wills and our wills should be His.
