Not Wading into It

Last updated on: May 21, 2022 at 6:39 pm By Sherry Antonetti

There’s lots of ripe fruit for Catholic bloggers right now, I want none of it. Instead, I’m going to daydream about what I hope happens this summer. Last summer got cut short by Cancer, surgery and recovery –and I taught summer school because I’d signed up for it before I knew I had breast cancer. So this summer is going to be summer, with ice cream, sangria, and grilled everything. 1. I hope I finish writing my book. 2. I... Read more

The beginnings of thoughts on the horrific shooting and violent deaths of ten people in Buffalo, and what the rest of us need to do as a consequence: https://www.osvnews.com/2022/05/16/after-the-violence-in-buffalo-pray-for-conversion/. After you read it, consider donating money to a local food bank in Buffalo, New York so that the residents who do not for the moment have access to their grocery store, won’t struggle with food scarcity in addition to the grief of being witness to such unchecked rage, hate and death...

Are We Salt of the Earth, or An Assault on the Holy Spirit by Our Acts

Last updated on: May 13, 2022 at 5:53 pm By Sherry Antonetti

To be a disciple is to deny one’s self, to discover how dependent on grace we are not to be depraved –not just today but every day. The seduction of the world is a constant press, which disguises itself as a means to a “greater good.” When ministry becomes an end in and of itself, as opposed to a means, it ceases to be a ministry. It becomes a carnival with a barker. It means that we are not witnessing... Read more

Each month is a different intention (focus) in my prayer life. Since I have ten children and a husband, each of us gets a month deliberately dedicated with petitions. What I can tell you, is I see the results. I don’t tell the kids which month is theirs, or even that I’m doing this, but there is a visible tangible difference. A favorite priest of mine (has a podcast) talked about his family having a day a week devoted, which... Read more

The Road to Heaven is Paved with Effort

Last updated on: May 9, 2022 at 10:29 pm By Sherry Antonetti

“The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions” is not actually something we should hold to be true. | God sees our heart, our intent, our desires and our works. He hears all our prayers. He recognizes what we seek to do. He knows our whole hearts. This is the great mercy of our God. God is not seeking a reason to keep us from Him, He’s searching our hearts for a “yes,” for an assent on our part... Read more

I watched Superman –Man of Steel, and the fundamental argument is that sometimes, you have to kill “for the greater good.” People did not like this movie for many reasons, but one of them was the fundamental reality –that we don’t want Superman to be morally ambiguous. We want our heroes to be heroic –bigger than life. It doesn’t matter what they do, we want, we long for those we admire to be better than they are. At the end... Read more

What Must We Do?

Last updated on: April 30, 2022 at 9:33 pm By Sherry Antonetti

There’s been a growing trend amongst those in the Catholic world of media. Those who have “made it,” succumb to their own sins, presumptions and faults, leading to preaching something less than the Gospel. I suppose all of us preach less than the Gospel because all of us in our living, fail to grasp how entirely we need grace to get through the moments of each day, and how little of our success if we have success in this endeavor,...

What do You Do?

Last updated on: April 25, 2022 at 9:49 pm By Sherry Antonetti

We just celebrated the Divine Mercy Sunday. We’ve held a Year of Mercy. Personally, I think we might need a booster shot Jubilee year of Mercy, because we seem to be finding the variants on hate, cruelty, pettiness, division, wrath and rage. What do we do with the person who is pro-choice? We love them. We offer friendship. We look for how we can work together to make the need for abortion unnecessary, because the world that surrounds the crisis... Read more

Easter Monday…How are We an Easter People?

Last updated on: April 18, 2022 at 6:51 pm By Sherry Antonetti

Most of us get Advent and we get Lent and we get the big wind up to Easter…but we don’t really know what to do with these fifty days until Pentecost. In Lent, we fast, pray and give alms –or are supposed to, and recognize that we are dust, and to dust we will return, that all this time is to help us discover how attached we are to sin and not Christ. However a lot of us spend time... Read more

The One Thing We Know…We are Not Ready

Last updated on: April 16, 2022 at 2:00 pm By Sherry Antonetti

Author’s Note: Wrote this last Friday before flying to Texas on Saturday to visit family. This week is Holy Week. The one thing we should know is, we are not ready. Lent reminds us annually of our fallen nature. If we succeed in our Lenten resolution, we will be tempted to boast of our success, even years after, and lose the lesson. If we fail in our Lenten resolution, we will be very cognisant of our weak willed and yet... Read more
