  Emily, Ben, Johnny, me, Mac, Jake, Zack and their dad John last Thanksgiving. Friday August 22 on the Queenship of Mary I celebrated my birthday with my sons and my daughter-in-law Emily who thanked me on mother's day for giving  her her best friend.  Isn't that who every girl wants... to marry-their best friend?!  Anywho I'd now like to share this blog I recently wrote but never posted because, quite frankly, I couldn't get the picture uploaded.  Technically challenged. So I woke up tonite as I often do in the middle of the night..and I thought of how grateful I am for my five sons….I’ve written   in the past about our struggles, however today, I want you to know the power of unrelenting prayer. My oldest son Johnny is getting his Doctorate in International Development.  He is a missionary in Liberia west Africa where he spent 8 years….earned his mba (straight A’s) online to run a Catholic school there for orphans and other children…now he’s statesi...

Gift of Life

    Sometimes God gets our attention through miracles, meteor explosions, and mind blowing human beings. The latter is my friend Hedy. On this day -July 3-many moons ago, God sent her into the world to rock our reality. She single-handedly infuses God‘s presence in our lives. She never shys away from cultural expectations and judgments, which demean and even deny the one and only God of creation. Her love for Jesus and his mom Mary pours forth a resounding and anointed spirit of heavenly grace and light that transfigures each and every life that is blessed to come to know her🌅 Praying for amazing supernatural blessings on this your day of birth🙏💝🌹 2 Corinthians 12:2

God is with us

I’m in Germany, helping my uncles …one of them had to go to the hospital because his wounds were infected…and as I returned home from the hospital -this is what I saw “in the car driving through the lush green countryside of Germany the Lord gave me a glimpse of his over arching presence in my life, the miracle of the sun I always like to call it…a solar heartbeat…….the pulsating sun with a disk that looks just like the Eucharist …tonight the colors were just beautiful. …rose and blue and then as time went by - more vibrant, royal blue, lime, green, deep rich violet it was just amazing and it was like it was following me and my second cousin Ursula. Such a beautiful anointed gift and all I could say was I love you Jesus because I knew he wanted me to know I’ve got this. I’m here, it’s OK and I have felt a tremendous peace this entire trip so thank you for all your prayers. 

Honoring Life

 I’m in Germany helping my two uncles who are 89 and 90 because they have leg wounds that have caused them a lot of issues and my second cousin is worn out so I’m here to help. I don’t know how much help I can actually give but I know I can help reduce the stress. Stress is a killer…and as I took a few moments to relax, I was looking through some of my old blogs cause I haven’t written in a very long time …I came across a comment from an old friend, Matthew, who apparently still reads my blog and I was praying that he’s happy that he’s found his purpose and the people that make him happy. I don’t know how to contact him , but I want him to know that  you can reach out and connect… Through helping the elderly who are my friends I’ve learned that life is a very short journey and connecting with those we love and giving of ourselves -breathes resurrecting life into us… through their suffering, and our yes-life begins anew💝

Pedophilia

Link to  I am writing to all the precious human beings who have been ravaged by the soul binding effects of rape by memb ers of the  Catholic clergy.  My heart bleeds for you and I’m so sorry  for the systemic coverups ,  and  that you have not received more public empathy from the  Church hierarchy or the  Catholic laity.   However,  I am very grateful to all the voices that have cried out in this darkness :  my son, the press ,  and the lawyers.   I am a mom of two sons victimized by a pedophile,  as well as  a Catholic  graduate of Notre Dame Seminary  who  continues to  kneel before the Lord at daily Mass.  I want you to know that I see you, that I am here for you, and that your lives matter to me.  I want you to know that you are God’s beloved and  that  he sees clearly  the evil that has been inflicted upon you by those who  stand in persona Christi who...
