LED BY GOD

By -
There is something sweetly satisfying about being led by God.
There are no hidden agendas, false pretenses or uncomfortable feelings.
There is only the serenity in knowing that the spirit is moving and the movement is transcending all the earthly anchors that have held us back.

I have been feeling the spirit move in my life in ways that I could not have engineered nor would I have tried. In fact, when I moved into complete and total acceptance that God is guiding me...Good things began to happen...Great things have begun to unfold and goodness has wrapped itself around me.

We sometimes grow weary of the journey, not fully understanding that our journey is the footprint that makes us who we are. Every time we take one step forward, we walk away from the past but we carry within our being, the gift of our experiences and the inspired knowledge.

God is always with us, walking alongside us, carrying us when necessary, letting us go when we pull away. He never abandons us because he is so much a part of who we are...He is the interior light of truth and Love-keeping us centered even when we feel off balance.

I am watching my own family being pulled slowly, but surely back into the light of that Love. A Love that is healing the human hurts that have held us captive and in the dark. I am watching the forgiveness that is forging a fortress of hope around those of us who are finally submitting our journey to God's guiding hand.

In our heart of hearts-if we are honest-we know when we are letting go and letting God-and when we are holding back. With god, there is the ultimate feeling of liberation and true Love, which always leads to the most miraculous moments and the feeling of good things to come.

As I have learned time and again, God's transformative Love is the essential truth that we must carry in our hearts as we travel this life. In the end it doesn't really matter what has happened or where we have been, how low we have fallen or how dangerously close we have come-to death...God will conquer every heartache and eliminate every injustice-if we surrender ourselves and our journey completely-to his guiding hand.

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

By -

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

CONFESSIONS OF FATHER JOE BENSON

By -
As we sat in silence, meditating...I nudged my friend Terri, "What do we have to complain about?!" I whispered. There he hung, pain stricken, vulnerable in his nakedness, sharp thorns cutting into his head, pleading eyes fixed on the heavens. What I thought, on God's green earth, do I have to complain about?! That's probably why they do it...place the life like crucifix dead center-above the altar, just above the Blessed Sacrament, right where you can't miss it...just to remind us-things could be worse, but they're destined to get better-if we keep our eyes focused-on the solution. Another friend-likes to remind me-he's not on the cross anymore...So why do we keep him there? Every one's got an opinion, but to tell you the truth, I need to be reminded of the sacrifice...and every painful moment in between. Puts my problems in perspective...helps me see clearly...gives me strength to proceed. We went to first Friday adoration in the upper ninth ward..
