Our Journey Home

Posted on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 by Guest Blogger

By Ellen Mongan

The best Christmas gifts are not always found under a tree rather they are discovered along the journey. This Christmas season Deacon Pat and I found ourselves homeless and alone. Our home in Viera, Florida sold miraculously in just one week without a realtor. Thirty days later we closed on our Florida home and that chapter of our life.

I came that they may have life

"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

-John 10:10

Today's Reflection:

Lack of forgiveness blocks the grace of God in our lives. It brings death--spiritually, emotionally, and often, physically. Examine your life. Where do you need to forgive? Pray for the grace to do so.

You also be patient

Posted on Saturday, January 19, 2019 by Women of Grace Staff

January 19

"Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand."

-James 5:7-8

 

Today's Reflection:

To evangelize effectively, we must be patient. When we look around us to our family and friends, do we impose our Faith on them? Or do we, instead, propose it through our testimony and the example of our life? How beautiful it is to patiently sow the seeds of truth in the hearts of others, water the seeds with prayer and friendship, and wait for the seeds to take root. This process can take time, but we must be willing to invest the time, confident that the Lord's work will be accomplished in the end.

The Battlefield of Life

Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2018 by Women of Grace Staff

“Let us always keep before our eyes the fact that here on earth we are on a battlefield and that in paradise we shall receive the crown of victory; that this is a testing-ground and the prize will be awarded up above; that we are now in a land of exile while our true homeland is Heaven to which we must continually aspire.”

-St. Padre Pio

A Millennial Look at Humanae Vitae

Posted on Monday, July 23, 2018 by Women of Grace Staff

“This love is above all fully human, a compound of sense and spirit. It is not, then, merely a question of natural instinct or emotional drive. It is also, and above all, an act of the free will, whose trust is such that it is meant not only to survive the joys and sorrows of daily life, but also to grow, so that husband and wife become in a way one heart and one soul, and together attain their human fulfillment.” Blessed Paul VI

“In forming a family, a community of love, you have to accept the cross – embrace it gloriously and willingly. Your cross is composed of little things and of the acceptance of each other as you are. You must develop the ability to see each other’s talents, and to rejoice in them and be glad about them."

                                                                                    -Catherine Doherty

Today's Reflection:
