Last updated on: June 5, 2019 at 1:03 am By Gary Zimak

It sounds crazy, doesn’t it? The thought of finding peace and joy in our hectic and fast-paced world seems just about impossible. I understand, but I stand by my statement. In fact, I’ll kick it up a notch. Not only can peace and joy be yours for the asking, but so can patience, love, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Want to know how? Once again, it has to do with our friend the Holy Spirit! Peace and Joy… If... Read more

Are You Willing To Step Out In Faith?

Last updated on: June 4, 2019 at 11:02 am By Gary Zimak

Did you ever feel that God was asking you to do something, but you were afraid to say “yes”? I know I have. In fact, it’s happened to me more times than I can count. Looking back, I can’t help but wonder what the Lord could have done in my life if I was more willing to step out in faith and trust him. In the First Reading from today’s Mass, Saint Paul summons the presbyters of the Church at Ephesus and... Read more

How To Find Peace In A Crazy World

Last updated on: June 3, 2019 at 12:39 pm By Gary Zimak

Be honest. Are you struggling to find peace? If so, you have plenty of company. We are all so busy and overloaded that finding peace seems difficult, if not impossible. What, if anything, can we do to fix this frustrating problem? In the Gospel from today’s daily Mass, Jesus tells us how to find peace in a crazy world: “I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I... Read more

Want To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit? Here’s How…

Last updated on: June 2, 2019 at 4:39 pm By Gary Zimak

Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and Stephen said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:55-56) Are you willing to suffer persecution and death for the sake of Jesus ? In all honesty, most of us will probably cringe at the thought and hope we never get put in that situation.... Read more

Come, Holy Spirit!

Last updated on: June 1, 2019 at 2:57 pm By Gary Zimak

This week on The Gary Zimak Show, we discussed the power of the Holy Spirit. By taking on a human body, Jesus could only be in one place at a time. After He ascended into heaven, however, the Lord would now be available to anyone who needs Him at any time of the night or day. In addition, His departure would enable Him to send the Holy Spirit to help us live holy and joyful lives. In this episode, we’ll... Read more

Mary’s Message For Us: What We Can Learn From The Visitation

Last updated on: May 31, 2019 at 6:26 pm By Gary Zimak

Today, as we celebrate the feast of the Visitation and the last day of the month dedicated to Mary, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on Mary’s visit to her relative Elizabeth. We can learn a great deal by looking at the details of this memorable event. Initially spoken two thousand years ago, Mary’s message is directed to each of us and still holds true today. Mary Cares After Mary gave her consent to become the Mother... Read more

Looking for Joy? Focus on the Ascension!

Last updated on: May 30, 2019 at 4:17 pm By Gary Zimak

Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God. (Luke 24:50-52) Something about the end of Luke’s gospel has always resonated with me. It’s something that’s so paradoxical that it almost defies belief. Did you catch it? After commissioning...

Never Underestimate the Power of Prayer!

Last updated on: May 29, 2019 at 6:38 pm By Gary Zimak

“All we can do now is pray.” If you’re like me, you’ve probably said this many times. Here’s the scenario. A serious problem arises and we launch into full blown panic mode, followed by numerous attempts to remedy the situation. It’s not until after we tried everything humanly possible and spent countless hours panicking that we typically end up where we should have started – by turning to God in prayer. Recognizing that we can’t get the job done on our... Read more
