The special feast day of Saint John Vianney is upon us.  We are exponentially blessed as Catholic's to celebrate their memorial and reflect upon God's goodness in our lives.  Whether we are in deep prayer within a holy adoration hour, or  reciting the holy rosary and participating in daily mass, there is an abundance of grace to be received by the faithful.  Are you faithful?  Are you interested in becoming the best version of yourself?  God is waiting to receive your yes today.  As Christians we have an advantage that non Christians are missing out on, that is the gift of faith.  This precious gift is there for anyone desiring to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Fortunately for us our Blessed Mother, the apostles, all the angels and saints have participated in the awe and wonder and great mystery of God and his most perfect plans for his creation.  We were fearfully and wonderfully made in his likeness and image.  We were born in our mothers womb and brought into the world with a beautiful temple that houses our very soul.  That too is Gods awesome gift to us because even though our bodies will die, our souls will go on to live forever in eternity.  How blessed are we that we can discuss all the greatest gifts, given to us, from God. How often do we stop and pause and think about this and actually do it?  The greatest gift, is the gift of life!  God fashioned us in a lovely way.  He purposely wanted us to co exist in Him, because of his great love for us.  With every creation we, you, and I, were born for a great purpose.  To know God, to love God, to serve God, in this life, and into the next.  When we awaken to this reality, this truth, we contemplate the serious nature of our being, and god willing we go on a quest to figure it all out every detail imaginable relating to our existence.  In order to accomplish the entire truth, we must establish a relationship with our creator.  Once our relationship is established, we can think, we can pray, we can speak from our heart to our Lord directly and experience the most amazing dialogue.  We are spiritual beings.  And the holy spirit lives within each and every person our Lord has created.  Your birth  was NOT a mistake.  You were made for Gods greater glory.  In God we find perfection, although, you and I are imperfect people, we look up to God to guide us.  God listens, God sees everything about us.  How we think, what we say, what we do, and so forth. God knows exactly where and what we are lacking.  To be a mature Christian, one has to become honest with oneself and with ones God.  Only then can spiritual maturity flourish in ones soul and in ones spirit.  I believe we were meant for greatness, for holiness, for a profoundness in Christ, and in his most holy Mother, Mary.  I believe we were meant to immitate the lives of the Saints, and take the God given gifts we were given at our Baptism and expound upon them throughout the duration of our lifetime.  If we are truly paying attention to God, we will hear him speak directly to our hearts and we will respond appropriately to the God given grace he is outpouring into us so that we can be Holy in his sight.  We have alot of work to do in a very short period of time given to us while we are living on earth.  Let us recognize the serious nature of our being and remain totally focused on this great gift of life, and bring it to fruition, now, while we still have life and breath in us.  This my brothers and sisters in Christ, would be ever most pleasing to our God.  I know for me personally, I want to delve deeply into the lives of the saints, and learn as much as I can so I can share that knowledge, wisdom, and rich spriritual history of our Catholic faith with all of Gods children who are ready to experience an enriching conversion of their soul, so that at the same time they are being drawn ever closer to Christ through the greatest of all mysteries.  The mystery of faith.  

When we trust fully our lives to God, we can experience an amazing life.  When I was searching for Him, he led me beautifully though time and experience and beauty.  The majority of it was under the sea.  Why I loved that journey so much was because I was able to seek him, and find him, and delve more deeply into the Catholic faith in solidude, on my own, the Lord and I and my guardian angel had a blast!  Christ reveals every detail of truth when we cooperate with his grace.  I have learned that the beauty of faith goes beyond knowledge, it enters into different realms as we choose to remain free in Him.  For the Lord knew I was searching and placing Him in the forefront of my search, he added a flare of adventure to my life that he knew I would like very much.  There are many gifts and graces given to us by God, we just have to allow those gifts and graces to flow naturally and we receive them with great surprise.  It could have been partially that and partially the intervention of my ancestors for they too were adventurous souls.  Traveling from Naples Italy and Baranova Poland seeking what they thought would bring them the life truly worthy of living.  You and I are no different.  We too are seeking and trying to unravel the truths we need to know as we traverse the universe in the great company of the great IAM.  All the above are willed by the Holy Spirit living in us.  I am so grateful to share and inspire you my podcaster follower, perhaps there is an adventure you are desiring to experience and when we include God and place Him way up front of everything else because all else comes directly from Him, we get to really see his power and understand who we are in Him.  I discovered through this adventure, I could write, I could photograph, and I could explore the underworld as a diver appreciating everything He had created under the earth.  Not too many people are willing to go to this extent, but that was something that captured my attention and my late paternal Italian Godmother would always comment Arent you afraid of the sharks?  What are you looking for down there? I guess I was searching for my true identity even though at the time I didn't fully understand it.  You see, we are all searching for something, but in essence it is God with whom we are searching for.  It doesnt matter if we are traveling the globe, or every corner of the earth, it is Jesus we are trying to find, trying to understand, trying to meet.  And when we find Him we stop running.  We center ourselves within his company, and his holy presence, enters deeply into our soul.  Then, we comfortably surrender into Christs heart.  Because as St. Augustine would tell us, "Our very hearts are restless until they rest in Thee".  No truer words my fellow podcasters!  So I am now resting in the loving company of our Lord some thirty four years later and I am a much more completed individual.  Because we can go through life not having God, not understanding God, and be oblivious to his love, his truth, and the life of enrichment we could be experiencing through an intimate relationship with Him.  I am a bride of Christ.  I live a holy life covered by the mantle of our Holy Blessed Virgin Mother Mary.  The mother of God, and the mother of us all.  Until we come to this conclusion, we wander, and we miss the gifts Christ so anxiously wants to share with us.  This poetry is his gift to me and today I am sharing his gift with you, why?  Because you may be still searching for Him, and I want you to be inspired to go out on an adventure and seek Him.  No two stories are identical, but to encourage you further, if joy sings through every adventure you take, you can be sure, all of it is the Lord!  He knows everything.  And not only that, who better to be your tourguide guiding your soul properly toward truth than Him.  I wish you a powerful and prayerful amazing journey!      

Today we celebrate the feast day of Saint Bridget of Sweden.  Servant of God.  How can we best live out this day in honor of the life God has provided for us?  We as Catholic's attend daily mass.  We receive the body blood soul and divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  We learn from listening to the gospel, and then we go out into the world proclaiming the word of Jesus!  By proclaiming the word, we live not of this world, we live in Christ Jesus.  We follow in his footsteps, his truths, and in the greatest mystery of all, in faith, we trust everything to Christ.  Fear has no place in this process, fear is not of the holy one.  We as servants of Christ, grow through his great grace upon which we receive instruction on how to live.  As followers of Christ we enter into the realm of truth, the realm of holiness, that transforms our very souls for the duration of our eternal journey.  Christ is alive.  Christ will never die, and neither will we.  We as his children will go on to live forever.  And the preparation for that eternal pilgrimage begins today and it is definitely built upon through prayer, through service, and utmost trust in our Lord.  The moment we stop trusting fully in the Lord, Satan has us in the palm of his hand.  Reject him.  Reject all of his negativity, only to set ones mind and heart, and spirit, back.  With Christ we propel forward in a fashion created and specifically and personally detailed to each of God's children.  A gift is waiting for every Catholic to participate in the Lords plans.  We only need to respond yes Lord, I come to do your most perfect will.  Renouncing the gift of free will given to us, brings us closer to God and in that intimate relationship it is there we are given the gift to see perfectly and clearly Gods plans for our lives.  Once we trust, once we fully trust in this process, the veil is lifted and the truthful process begins.  And our ministry in Christ is revealed.  And how beautiful it is to be in the great company of our Lord, serving Him in this most important capacity.  We can serve him fully in having a devout life.  For 36 years I have been walking with Christ on my own road to Emmaus.  He has allowed me to see so much.  Especially within my own minds eye, I could see his face, see his angels, see our holy mother Mary.  There were and are exquisite visions that come to me when my eyes are closed and pictures of them enter into my mind and these are his precious gifts given to me.  I don't question them, I accept them for what they are.  I am living within the company of all the angels, all the saints, and even in Mary's and her sons company I am most privileged.  What Jesus wants, I want! And may his most perfect will continue to be done in me and in you.  These gifts are available for all of Gods children, we were called to become saints.  To live in Christ, to live in Mary, to live right here and now, and share what he has done, is miraculous, holy, divine.  I am so deeply honored to be growing each and every day in his presence, in his love for me to become his daughter of the light, his daughter of the truth, nothing will ever be more meaningful in my lifetime.  I think Christ is asking this of you.  Are you ready to experience his deep love, and his transforming guidance that will bring you too, to that fruitful place of charity in your lifetime, worthy of sharing, worthy of participating in, worthy of living as a true child of Jesus Christ.  Not an inkling of doubt can exist in your thoughts, you have to be true to yourself and true to your God in order to experience his presence and most abundant graces.  There is no wiggle room here, only the sincerity of your heart being outpoured into Jesus's heart bringing you to the next level of growth in your spiritual walk with Him.  We can truly advance in this life and into the next as "Children of God"... Why do so many of us procrastinate?  Why do so many of us live in fear?  When it is all so simple, and we make it complicated.  To deny our free will is a huge sacrifice that alot of people arent ready to give back to God. But they dont realize what they are renouncing, becomes an even better more powerful gift that God is placing inside of them while taking away that free will offering.  We are in essence offering it up for all souls, so that all souls can get to heaven. Jesus wants all his children to be forever with Him in eternity.  This is the first step kicking off that process, and giving us the ablility to work freely in Christ and in his mission for the church.  I am thrilled to be sharing this great news with all of you, because it needs to be shared, and recognized in order for it to be propelled through the stagnancy that has entered into the hearts of all men and women.  An awakening, a shakening up if you will, must take place in this fashion, because we do not see the full picture of our purpose driven life.  It has to be brought out of us, and when we come to Christ in our humility this stagnancy molded within us, is lifted, drawing our complete attention toward Christ.  And that is a good starting point for all of us.  When our attention is drawn to Him, there is nothing he cannot do through his children.  He wants to bestow upon us all the greatest of all gifts.  The eternal gifts that will go on forever.  We have future generations coming after us who will be searching very deeply for Christ.  And we are the remenant that they will be looking for, and what we do as that remenant, will become the future blessing for them to build upon.  Our every contribution to the Catholic faith relies totally on us.  Those who are living right now.  Let us awaken from our slumber!  Let us trust fully in this great and awesome mystery called faith.  And never ever waiver from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Today I want to wish my daughter in law a Blessing of Great Grace in celebration of her birthday.. Gods grace it is available for everyone desiring a life in Jesus!  What exacatly does this mean?  A whole lot!  It means when one chooses to live in Christ, a New Life begins inside of them.  They no longer live, because Christ is living in them.  New Life can be an ongoing transformation removing what no longer needs to be in me or in you because God has entered into the heart, mind, soul that desires to have Christ living in them.  When we go to mass and we receive the holy eucharist, we receive Jesus, and when we receive him, we know as Catholics we must be first in a state of grace, without any stain of mortal sin. Christ can live in us and transform us into his likeness and his image, but we have to want it.  What exactly do I mean when I say this, Christ wants us as his children to be one in our heavenly father?  It means we follow the disciplines of the ten commandments, and experience a great conversion through our desire to say yes, as our holy mother Mary gave her fiat, so must we.  So must we in order to receive the gift of great grace being bestowed upon us through the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Truths.  Truths, that will enhance your journey as you pilgrimage toward eternal life.  For now life as we know it on earth is very trying, uncomfortable, uncertain, but life chosen in Christ Jesus, is fufilling, purposeful, meaningful, fruitful. And if we are all honest with eachother, trying to walk in the exact shoes of Saint Peter the first Pope, I can honestly tell you, it's a moderate challenge.  Are you up for it?  Challenging ones heart, mind, body, soul to change.  To live a new life with a new set of rules that pertain to the salvation of ones soul.  Its alot to grasp.  But it can be done.  And why wouldn't it be done, when we were all born for this momentous gift called life, but to fufill it in Christ, one can measure joy seeing ones progress in real time that will go on indefinitely.  "We were made in our Mothers Womb", according to Father O' Doherty, and "We were meant to life forever".  Every soul will go on to live forever.  No one dies in Gods book of life!  No one...  Truths.  Truths to live for, why is that?  Because you were given life to pursue the truth.  How far have you pursued the truth?  If we are honest we can digest that question for a while before responding.  When we enter a relationship we seek what is best for the other person.  When we seek to enter into Christ, we seek to become our best self.  Christ takes away old layers of self that no longer need to be and replaces them with new layers of self that will benefit the new person Christ is weaving through me.  I love that!  Christ has the power to do a miraculous work in you, something you can never do on your own, and when we step aside, and stand out of his way, great things begin to happen.  Are you ready to experience his presence working with you and through you on a daily basis?  You have to seek and want his love first, in order to experience agape love!  The highest form of love, becomes the highest form of grace, living inside of you!  This is available to everyone.  They can choose agape love and receive grace upon grace, healing upon healing, joy upon joy, when their free will is offered freely back to God.  If you are searching for the truth, I have just given it to you.  If you are searching for love, there is no greater love, only the love of God, because he created us all out of his love, his image, his likeness.  Therein lies all the answers to all the question.  Christ is the answer every single time.  Yes.  It is that simple.  We only make it complicated.  And sometimes we go on wasting the very precous life we were all given.  And for what?  To realize we have the greatest regret?  We dont need to walk down that path of sorrow.  We need to walk the path of light and be that light for everyone we encounter.    

This episode "Meet Every Soul That Desires To Be On A Journey With God"  is dedicated to my Mother and Father whom I had recently had a funeral mass, honor guard, and garden internment for, on June 16, 2026.  I am so ever thankful to my spouse undivided attention every step of the way, and to Father Patrick Francis O' Doherty, for the gift of offering the huge blessing of having a very holy mass at Queen of Peace Catholic Church.  I am especially thankful to all of his staff who were amazing during this process.  My church family who went out of their way to attend and be supportive, all of you are forever etched in my memory of this day.  It was your prayers and love that held me up when I couldn't stand.  We are one in Jesus, we are one in Mary.  Our holy mother is holding us, the exact same way she held onto her baby son, in her loving hands we are shielded, we are protected, we are given the great gift of her love supported by her intercession, bringing every single prayer, directly to her Son.  

When I talk about Meeting Every Soul That Desires To Be On A Journey With God, I mean it.  We are all here purposely through God for this exact moment.  Be in it!!!  Dont run away from it, but run toward it.  Jesus wants to meet you there.  Allow him that honor through the people he has placed before you.  He has his reasons in time and in history, we just need to be open to the gift he wants for us to receive.  Receive him in the Confessional, receive him in the Holy Eucharist, receive him in The Mass, receive him in Your Church Family, receive him right now, exactly where you are.  

I think, I belive, that "His Heart Needs To Become Our Heart".  For the Sacred Heart of Jesus holds the lock and key to our souls salvation.  And if all of this is true, we must be open to it.  We must not miss it!  But find it and tap into it, and drink from the well of truth.   

When we are of all one heart, one mind, one God, and one truth, one understanding, this world will be set aflame in God's eternal love for all eternity!  

Consider every grace that you have been given, as a deliberate gift from our Lord.  You cannot do anything whatsoever without Him.  God is living and breathing deep within you, and yet you cant see Him, but He is there.  He guides his children, and blesses them every step of the way.  He opens doors that could have remained locked for eternity.  God does an amazing work in all of his people.  We owe Him a great amount of gratitude.  No one on the planet should be frowning, because God is in their midst.  We can talk with God, we can break through our own barriers in life that have set us back instead of propelling us forward.  We are a unique creation living in God twenty four seven.  How is that sitting right now deep within your spirit?  Do you agree?  Or are you still trying to figure out what has already been revealed?  You are sons and daughters of Christ Jesus.  You were meant for this time.  And your true purpose in Christ is leading you toward him, in a deep and profund way.  For so many have lost their way.  So many have not protected themselves from the attack of the evil enemy himself.  We must always be on our guard.  For the moment we let our guard down, evil enters into the soul.  How do we protect it?  We remain in Jesus, we attend the holy mass, we receive the holy sacraments, and frequently visit the priest to not only examine our consciences but to receive reconcilation of all past sins.  This washing away of the dirt that has made us unclean is necessary as a Christian to mature spirtitually and to live a life worthy of Christ and his teachings.  We should be aware very aware of the gift of life.  It just didnt happen because of any reason we may think however, truth is it happened because it was the will of God.  We have to return to the basics.  The ten commandments were written to save ourselves from final damnation.  When we remain true to our God, to ourself and to others we are living out our best life for Christ.  Anything else is unacceptable.  We must learn to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect.  In other words we uphold the bar of great worth in the eyes of God, because he is worthy of that gift from us in return.  We cannot take our eyes off of God, because when we do we fall.  We fall into sin.  And sin sets us back from the beautiful plans God wants to bestow upon all of his children.  To be holy, to be blameless, to be loving in his sight, is our job.  How are you doing with that today?  When we take every precautionary measure there is out there to protect our soul, we are living in perfect union with Jesus Christ.  It is very difficult to remain perfect every day but our aim should be to do so no matter what the outcome.  If God sees our efforts, he will honor our good intentions when bad things happen to us and others.  We must keep our honesty always in check.  Because our honesty will save us from all that is evil.  Protect the mind, protect the eyes, protect the tongue, do not use any of the above to curse, but only to bless.  We hold a higher accountability than most.  Because we are in Christ, we belong to the King, and we are his most prized possessions.  I cannot emphasize enough the importance of protecting the soul, the conscience, stand true to your post, and never ever lower the bar of expectation because Christ is watching you even as you read this, he sees you, and expects great things from you.  Do not disappoint him, but do everything in your power to show him who you really are.  A soldier in Christ on earth and for all eternity, a soldier fighting in the great battle for the soul, that if not cautious, can lose it through the slippery path of the evil one.  Stay the course with Jesus, and Mary the mother of God, call their names, pray daily for the conversion of all souls.  They will hear you, they will protect you.  Prayers are much more effective, much more powerful than any action we can ever do as Christians.  Prayers move mountains.  Prayers convert souls to Christ Jesus.  Prayer overturns all evil in an instant. Trust in the power of God your deepest intentions, and wait upon the Lord.  His goodness will be revealed in his most perfect timing.          

Words.  They are very important.  May yours be voiced to bless and to heal a very broken world.  Words.  Have you chosen yours carefully this day?  Did you stop to think before you spoke?  Words.  Words are sacramentals.  They were given to us to communicate the good news.  And today, you most certainly are receiving good news from above.  Let us try our very best to enter into a communion with God that exhibits holiness and an even greater desire to become holier than ever before.  If we did nothing else but try our best to become holy, we honored God greatly this day.  I know if I try with all my might to grow in Christ, by being in his company, by talking to him daily about my struggles, my every concern that stops me from being the holiest daughter in Christ, I know my voice is heard because he willed it.  Christ knows all of his children living within this universe.  Not for a split second does he ever take his eyes off of you (according to my Pastor Fr. PJ.)  Imagine what life would be like if you and I were to never take our eyes off of Jesus.  It would be an amazing time to experience because everyone living in Christ would unify as one, I think we would all have alot more in common, we would have alot more to talk about, and therefore we would all be living in great peace and great unity.   Oh how lovely it could be.  If we could all begin today, living in Christ and in his love, we could set this world on fire, and all relate to one another again. No more indifference, just love, love filled with understanding, and compassion, that would be the kind of love Jesus is deserving of from all his children.  We can get there, and I believe that we will!   

Why is it we are in need of a great transformation?  I believe in my heart we were destined for greatness.  To be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect.  Why?  Why is that?  I believe it is because Christ himself is perfection.  He made the universe.  He made you and I in his likeness and in His image.  He made us for his greater glory.  So why cant we magnify the Lord the same way Mother Mary did?  All things are possible with Christ.  And it may take a life time to perfect every imperfection deep within us, but that choice is solely blessed when we offer it up to Christ. 

Our responsibility toward Him should be that of total obedience.  We should be thinking about getting ourselves on the right path of trusting God with every single detail of our life.  Starting with our hearts.  

Can you live a life in Christ with that exact mindset?  You may never had given this any thought before now.   You may need time to reflect upon it, and pray about it.  God understands we are a people reluctant to move fast in the realm of faith.  Faith is a mystery.  Our very being is equally mysterious.  But God allows the mystery in our lives to reveal his power.

God also gives to us a period of time on earth and all the latitude we need to figure it all out.  But do we always get it right?  Of course not.   And by no means was it ever meant to be simple.  Yet we endure, we trust and we live and we thread the needle. Sometimes breaking both the needle and the thread.  Testing the parameters of our free will, we can go too far, and by the time we realize it, the damage is done. 

But in God, he teaches us the better way to live a great and meaningful life present in his love.  We can receive the gift of his blessing if we choose to include him in every aspect of our lives.  Allow him into the framework, and watch what happens.  What are you waiting for?  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain in Christ Jesus.  Take the great leap of faith and experience his power.

He will guide you and lead you on a path greater than you could ever imagine. His  truths will guide and protect your very soul.  Dig deep down and pull out the trust deep within your soul and present it to him right now.  So that his great work can begin by entering into the silent realm of joy He so wants to share within your company.

I was overwhelmed by the great gifts I was receiving through my Holy Mother, through Saint Pio, and through my maternal mother who were all celebrating May 25, 2026 in a heavenly way.  For some reason, God bestowed upon me the great gift of remembrance through the Mother of Christ, and the ability to pray for the intercession of a Saint in my lifetime, an Italian Saint at that, Padre Pio of Petrilcina, and my Polish mother was included. God did not have to allow this to happen but he did.  His mother Mary allowed me to participate in a heavenly celebration here on earth.  Again, God can do anything he wants to do.  And we as his children only need to cooperate with his grace.  When something supernatural happens, a phenomenon like this, it is a gift worthy of embracing.  And I embraced it and I felt at the same time a little numb because I was there to attend a mass that was cancelled, and then the Holy Spirit promted me to stay and pray the rosary with the select group that were also interested in praying together.  The rosary, the scripture readings, the singing of Immaculate Mary all flowed beautifully together.  It was the will of our Holy Father.  It was the will of our Holy Mother.  It was the will of Padre Pio whose great devotion and love toward Mary, toward her fiat, her yes Lord, I come to do your will, and because this day was reserved for my late Mother's Birthday, we as a congregation participated in a most powerful time of prayer.  Some have told me it was my maternal mother's gift given freely to me from heaven.  I would love to believe my maternal mother is with our Holy Mother, and Saint Padre Pio is present because they all shared in a feast day of our Lady that happened to be on the exact day of Saint Pio and my Late Mothers Birthday.

Our Holy Lady, allows me to see her during deep thoughts and prayers especially when I am thanking her for the gifts she has given.  It's powerful because she comes to me subtly, and sometimes in a monocromatic way and other times in color.  Best way to describe it, my eyes when they are closed, God allows me to see a picture of our lady, very quickly, and then she is gone.  I contribute those experiences to the many decades of rosaries, I have recited over the years for friends and family and new acquaintances that have asked for prayer.  Prayer is very powerful, and if you are blessed enough desiring to be in Mary, she will come to you and give you your very own personal gift of herself to treasure.  Mary the Mother of God, right now is offering all of God's children great hope. Truly she wants what is best for all of us.  In particularly, what is best for all women, because women become a wife.  A mother.  A grandmother.  A great grandmother.  And if you are blessed to be all the above, you know exactly what I am talking about.  Gods Grace flowing through our Holiest Mother to all Mothers!!!  Women share a special union with Mary, the holiest Mother of God.  Mary intercedes for all mothers, living and deceased.  Our work is an important, never to be taken for granted, but always meant to be celebrated in the Mother of God!  

Learn about Mary.  She is an amazing role model for women.  She is the perfect role model for men because she experienced the great incarnation, giving her yest to God and not fully understanding her pregnancy.  In faith, and in hope, she fully trusted in our Lord, and paved the way for Gods children to trust, to love, to forgive, and desire holiness.  Holiness is key to peace, joy, and love that this world will never ever give, because that love comes directly from God.  A love worthy of trust, worthy of commitment to, a love that transpires all hearts to the immaculate heart of Mary and her Son Jesus Christ.  To live in him, we must die to ourself, die to our own desires, die to the sinful nature of man, where true life begins, and false life dies forever.  

So don't be afraid to let go and let God!  It is a journey of TRUST.  And if you are bleessed enough to follow in the truth, you will be free for all eternity.  That is faith.  Tried and true.  Renounce personal pride and welcome great humility.  And your life will begin stronger, better, happier, holier, and you will see God face to face, you will see Mary face to face, and your guardian angel who has been in charge of you since the day you were placed as a seed in your mothers womb, you will meet, every miracle in your life time you will contribute to God who made the heavens and the earth and every single living creature therein.  

And there is more.  When we die, our body returns to dust.  And our souls are lifted up by Christ.  He comes for us, and we have to be prepared for that day of his coming.  We just cant be idle people, we should desire knowing the faith more than we do.  We are all missionary people.  We were meant to serve eachother.  To love as Christ first loved us.  To be servants first.  Servants of Gods people.  Because as my pastor reminds us quite often, "The servant of us all, is the greatest of us all"...

Amen...

Searching for God, searching for faith, searching for the truth, we experience a new found appreciation for the great gift of faith we were given as Catholic's.  I have learned that faith is the greatest expression of Gods love for us.  And if we are fortunate enough to catch hold of the faith and nurture the faith, we end up discovering that a life lived in Christ is the most amazing life we can ever endure.  

In this most amazing relationship, we experience a transformation of self.  Our inner self is reflective of our outer exterior self.  If we choose to work on our interior self, what I mean by this is - if we choose to clean out our very heart and soul today, tommrow, we can set this world on fire, as did Saint Catherine of Sienna, by living a life, a worthy life, as a woman or as a man of great faith in total surrender and total consecration is an act of service toward God and his people.  

Even in this very moment, God has made himself available to you and to everyone listening in on Deb's Podcast.  As a matter of fact, today within this last eposide for the month of May, I am celebrating with you our 5th Anniversary at Debs Podcast,  since inception.  And I am so very excited about this most great accomplishment because, to me, it is a gift of the heart and soul to connect with you personally as devoted followers.   It is so very fitting that I was inspired to begin this podcast during the Month Of Mary...

Today you are called by God to listen, to learn, to be seeped in the word.  And I do not take lightly any opportunity given to me personally by God through his most perfect design to use every single God given gift he has personally placed within my very soul.   In giving birth to Gods word thorough the holy spirit living in me I am able to show you how much he loves you too! Yes, you are that special to God.

And I reflect upon the very thought of being inspired by God to create and publish Debs Podcast as a podium and platform to share the beautiful faith I had come to know as a woman.  

I am literally jumping out of my skin, with seraphic joy, with every single presentation prepared by me through the works of the Holy Spirit living within my very own being.  This is an opportunity I know of that is instinctively instituted by Christ and Holy Mother Mary revealing to us exactly the way we aught to live.  To truly live, in his love and in his peace, is the most powerful choice and decision one can ever make within their entire lifetime!  

In harmony, in joy, in understanding, and only in Christ, we are able to unravel all truths because the holy spirit is living inside of you, with your permission then  becomes your guide.  And your very own guardian angel too is a part of this process with permission granted by God himself, protecting you from all harm and all evil from the exact moment you were born, to the exact moment you were baptized in the Holy Spirit, to the exact moment you were confirmed, receiving first reconciliation, first confession, holy orders, holy matrimony, and finally in death, the church is there for you as you leave this earth and enter into the heavenly glory of God.   Being called by God to personally to enter into an amazing relationship with him, will forever change the course of your life as you make your journey back toward your creator.  Your yes however has the power to save you!  It is that plain and that simple, it is we who make faith complicated because it requires giving up something.  Giving up our free will.  And when we do we follow and live within the parimeters of God's laws.  

The beauty of our faith is this.  We prepare one another, and we show one another our accountability in Christ, because if we are accountable to Christ, we can be accountable toward others, plain and simple.  And then our very lives begin to unfold and we build a life worthy of living.  The believer in you, cannot do this with an inkling of doubt.  No way!  That is why it is called faith.  We either believe or disbelieve.  And when we believe we begin to follow the greatest of all believers, Christ Jesus, himself. 

Yes, this journey we are on has and holds the greatest meaning.  Our very souls depend upon this life in Christ.  If you want to challenge me on this fact.  Please do.  Step up and surrender everything to Christ and you will begin to live unlike you have never lived before.  Christ has the ability to free you completely, on this fantastic journey, not to be missed, but to be lived to the absolute and fullest degree imaginable!  This is what happens to us when we give Christ permission over our free will to do something extraordinary in and through him.   

Are you interested in learning about and tapping into your highest potential ?  If you are, then you are ready to say yes and enter into an eternity with Christ on earth that will continue well after your duty on earth is completed.  I love this about our faith, it is a stepping stone, each yes, each desire to share Christ, and be like Christ in society that is dying of thirst and hunger in knowing their true purpose.  Your identity is defined by a lifetime well lived in Christ.  Are you ready to enter into his awesome arena?  If so keep a journal, keep a holy hour, and live a life devoted to Christ, and your true purpose will be revealed to you as a gift from holy Mother Mary.  Who never forgets her son and who never forgets us!

Pray to Mother Mary and ask her to guide you in finding the perfect church to attend mass, to involve yourself in church ministry.  Pray some more, and listen to our Lord respond to your requests.  Seek...Search...Trust...Verify...  And you will receive all your answers to the many unanswered questions of your life.
