October, the Month of the Rosary
Promoting peace within ourselves promotes peace worldwide because peace grows one person at a time. Praying the rosary offers a way to do just that.

In the End, Will You Remember God?
If your faith is solid, will it carry you through your life even if you develop dementia? I believe it is possible. Your faith may even grow stronger.

Forgive Yourself

Right Trip. Right Time.
Timing is everything. When the perfect opportunity comes at a point in our life and we can take advantage of it, sparks fly. Such was the way with the pilgrimage I recently went on with my daughter, Lisa. When Lisa, invited me to accompany her on a two-week pilgrimage to Israel and Italy, I realized […]

One thing I can tell you now is that it was memorable, moving, and spiritually uplifting. A pilgrimage is a special kind of a trip. It is […]
