Let me know if there is anything else you want to see here.  I will be posting some other works from the author as well.   

Time for Prayer

I am humbled in the reminder of prayer.  I feel like a lazy pray-er.  It isn't that I don't pray, it is that I often pray sitting, lying down, walking, driving.  All well and good.  But the Son of God knew the value of getting on his knees and so should I follow that example.  Church is not the only place to remember that without the help and guidence of God I can not walk through my life. 

Here is a link from Fr. Martins' trip with the reflection that reminded me of how I pray.  I hope you reflect on it and feel free to leave a comment!

Walking the Gospels

Happy end of summer everyone!  I hope this finds you all rested and restored!


Fr. Martin has recently returned from  trip to the Holy Land and has shared many of his experiences with those of us who are on his facebook page.  This is an extraordinary gift for those of us who have never been there but has tried in the true Ignatian spirit to place ourselves in the time and place of Jesus, his followers and disciples.  I am going to try to link you now but since it is on FB I am not sure it will work.  I am certain that he will have a link soon as he processes all of his experiences. I feel that many of us will reap the rewards of his journey and with the help of the Holy Spirit will glean some insight into our own relationship with God through Jesus Christ. 

So here is to hoping you can see some!
