Need a boost? Try making a spiritual Communion

Last updated on: May 29, 2015 at 11:36 am By Marge Fenelon

The ability to unite by desire with Jesus, to invite him into my frazzled heart and soul, and to experience the power of his love gives me renewed hope and strength. It's a reminder that, even though I'm not physically at Mass receiving his Body, Jesus still is close to me, within me with his grace. All I have to do is ask. Read more

So, This is What Dying Looks Like: Preparing to Bid My Mom Farewell

Last updated on: May 24, 2015 at 8:25 pm By Marge Fenelon

I'm seeing it in my mom's eyes, and hearing it in her voice. She looks but doesn't really look, and her tone is flat, as if it's too much work to express interest or emotion. She'll give brief answers to questions, but doesn't ask any of her own. My mother is dying. Read more

Holy Fire: The Faces of Pentecost

Last updated on: May 22, 2015 at 7:59 am By Marge Fenelon

There are a number of Pentecost images that I love to meditate on. I read the Scripture passage and then pretend I’m there, letting my mind picture the people and happenings of the decent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and those gathered with them in the Upper Room. I can “see” all 120 or so of the men and women, praying and perhaps fearful and uncertain about what would happen to them after Jesus’ Ascension. Then they... Read more

Three Life-Giving Facts about Prayer

Last updated on: May 20, 2015 at 8:28 am By Marge Fenelon

With things coming at us from all sides - obligations, struggles, discord, hardship, and the like - we can be tempted to let prayer slide amidst the busy-ness.
