  • Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament – for health

    The fourth meditation has been a hard one for me to articulate, Father. How do I ask You for greater good for my body, my health, when You’ve given me life overflowing? Do not hesitate to ask for the good of your body – for health, for memory, for success. I can give you everything, […]

  • Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament – for personal favors

    In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. I come before You today, Father, before Your Blessed Sacrament, with special prayers and to ponder the third meditation. First, a friend ask for prayers for strength for her faith during this time of isolation, during this time of separation from […]

  • Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament – for the sick and the broken

    As I meditate before Your most Blessed Sacrament, please bless me, Holy Lord, with Your presence and guidance. Tell me about the poor whom you want to help, the sick whom you have seen suffer, the sinner whom you would convert, the persons who are alienated from you, and whose affections you wish to win […]

  • Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament – for family

    The Church of St. Joan of Arc has a wonderful pamphlet of meditations to ponder as we sit in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Written in Jesus’s own voice, even the questions are comforting, as though He were holding us in the palm of His hand — intent on our concerns, lavish in His love, […]

  • On Divine Mercy Sunday, isolation from all but You

    Bless this time together today, Father, on this Divine Mercy Sunday. Have mercy on all of us, hopeless sinners all, in this time of isolation. In this time of isolation let us never isolate ourselves from You, our only hope, our only true friend through whom all others, all else is ordered. Never allow our […]

  • Have a Holy Thursday

    I struggled early on after my conversion to Catholicism with whether to soldier through some of the challenges I was experiencing or whether to revert back to Anglo-Catholicism. I read whatever I could find to help understand what belief or lack of belief the Anglican martyrs held so strongly that they were willing to be […]

  • Feeling small in isolation

    I’m feeling very little in this time, Lord, as though You in a holy chastisement have sent all us squabbling children Into a sort of global time-out, Restrictions, like when I was a child and someone else was in control of my life. I gave in back then to my parents authority. I wasn’t one […]

  • Revelation of irrelevance

    Oh Lord, I have so much to give thanks for, yet so little energy for giving thanks. Thank You for our health and for each other and for our relationship with You, most especially. This is an odd time when I feel so very grateful and yet so reticent to sit down to spend time […]

  • On grief

    It’s a mystery why things happen as they do. We try to trust that God will not abandon us, but sometimes we feel alone. Well-meaning friends may try to cheer us up, yet tears are often the only possible response. When we pour out our hearts like that, we are in good company. Jesus himself […]

  • In this time, send us Your Peace

    Good morning Father. As with the whole of the last week, You have blessed us here with clear skies and warm weather. These blessings have been appreciated by everyone in our community and all our neighbors who are clearing and cleaning up debris, recovering after the treacherous tornadoes that attacked our area. So much devastation. […]
