Like other holidays or feast days, Easter is a day to reflect and worship and celebrate and be together with others… It’s also the beginning of a season when we are invited to start anew, see and act in more meaningful and intentional ways to help others, and make the world a better place. For …

The Best Job In The World
What job would you do for free? Ha. Came to mind immediately. Billions of us do this. PARENTING. Perhaps the analog, MENTORING fits here too. Nothing more satisfying than seeing others learn and overcome and persevere and shine. INDEED!
Alleluia, Happy Easter!
These days it fundamentally comes down to faith for me. It comes down to the hope founded in the Paschal Mystery. God interceding in our human world for the better. And with Jesus in particular, the fundamental forever lesson that love wins. Alleluia! More on The Mystery? This from Wikipedia, “The first known use of …
Mere Christianity
C.S. Lewis wrote a book by this title more than 75 years ago, “Mere Christianity”. It came from a series of talks on the radio Lewis did about well, Christianity. I was raised in that tradition and found my own strength and hope therein as an adolescent; faith and prayer still see me through my …
Friday, GOOD
I recall a Jesuit homily at a Good Friday mass some 30 years ago. Mission Santa Clara church, old Spanish motifs; sacred ground. As you might imagine, it was a somber mass; We pondered, reflected on the manner in which Jesus of Nazareth behaved and experienced his arrest, trial before the Sanhedrin, torture by the …

Awash Again
Awash again in anxiety, thoughts flooding my mind, to-do’s rushing over me, most always in the morning, early morning darkness, quiet, silent dread. Was this what killed my grandfather, my cousin too? No no, there’s must have been far worse, so much so they chose to exit, no longer wanting to dwell here, I have …
Enough Already
Donald Trump and his administration, Narcissistic, cruel, reckless, amoral, Mind you, the people that have supported Trump, the MAGA Movement, those folks need a voice in this country, in our communities, but NOT in a manner that forsakes the rest of the country and all who call America home. But Trump and all around him, …
Still Learning From GMD, 3:27
This post title gave me a smirk so I stayed with it. GMD, 3:27. Could be an abbreviated reference to chapter and verse of some book in the Bible or other sacred text. Not so much the case. GMD might also be G.M.D., my maternal grandfather's initials. And the 3:27 is actually the month and …
