I Could Have Done More

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 10:52 am By Rebecca Hamilton

This scene from Schindler’s list is so powerful because it illustrates the difference between a person with a conscience and those without. Good people look back on the things they’ve done and wish they had done more good. A person without conscience is never troubled, no matter how many people he harms. I am confident — and a little afraid — that all the accounts will be settled when we stand before God. I believe, based on my own experience... Read more

Losing Jesus. The Third Sorrow of the Seven Sorrows of Mary.

Last updated on: August 7, 2020 at 3:59 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Didn’t you know that we have been looking for you these past three days sorrowing? Forgetting trauma, or at least moving if off center stage, is the only way forward in life. The first requirement of taking hold of what lies ahead is letting go of what you have now. Babies let go of their infancy, mothers let go of their babies to embrace the children they become. We change jobs, bury loved ones and surrender our youth to... Read more

Jesus was a Refugee, an Illegal Immigrant, Fleeing for His Life. Pray the Seven Sorrows of Mary

Last updated on: August 5, 2020 at 3:31 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

An angel of the Lord appeared to Joesph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him. Jesus was betrayed to Herod by the wisemen whom God had called to come pay homage to Him. These wise men must have been spectacularly unwise, naive and trusting to so completely overlook the ruthlessness of power. On their journey to see... Read more

A Sword Will Pierce Your Heart Also. Pray the Seven Sorrows.

Last updated on: August 1, 2020 at 8:10 am By Rebecca Hamilton

He said to Mary, the baby’s mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, and many others to rise. He has been sent as a sign from God, but many will oppose him. As a result, the deepest thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your heart also.” The moment you hold your first newborn in your arms is the most wonderful — and the most terrifying — moment you will... Read more

The world is evil and rushes towards its ruin. It is about to fall in its abyss. The world is in rebellion against God. Many sins are being committed. There is no love and no peace. If you do not repent and convert your hearts, you will all fall into an abyss.

Getting Back to God in this Time of Turmoil.

Last updated on: July 28, 2020 at 8:39 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I’m going to take the rest of today to pray and be with the Lord. I know I will spend time with Jesus in the Sacrament at a church near my home which has it available 24/7. When I was going through cancer treatment, I went there a lot in the small hours of the night. I didn’t pray with words all that much. I just went to be with Him, for the companionship of that Presence. It helped me... Read more

Pray the Angelus

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 11:50 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The Angelus is a brief, but profound prayer that encapsulates the story of Jesus in a few sentences. It’s a good prayer for lunch, or if you want to pray a noon or on Fridays at 3pm, the Angelus is a good choice. The Angelus The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit...

JP2’s Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 11:54 am By Rebecca Hamilton

When I was in public office, I read scripture and prayed the Rosary every morning before going to work. I ended my morning devotions each day by praying the prayer I am going to post here. It was written by St Pope John Paul II for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The moment I first heard it, I believed that it was a prayer for all people in these last days. I want to urge... Read more

Fr Frank Pavone Resigns from Trump’s Team

Last updated on: July 25, 2020 at 12:37 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Father Frank Pavone has resigned from his official position on Trump’s re-election team. He says he is doing this as an act of obedience to his superiors in the Church. The way his statement is worded, with the careful use of the phrasing “official title/position on the advisory boards,” I think it is likely that Fr Frank will continue in these positions in an “unofficial” capacity. What I mean is that I think, based on how he worded his statement,... Read more
