A Spiritual Journey

Our faith is not just a series of teachings, a code of morality, wise sayings, or a tradition.  It is a true encounter with Jesus Christ.  This meeting begins with the Scripture, especially one of the four Gospels, which shows us that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament.  In Luke's account, Jesus bids farewell to his disciples by saying, "These are the words which I spoke to you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
      An experience with Jesus changes a person - it certainly did me.  It changed me, it changed my world, it changed my personal story.
      I wrote about my experiences in my book, "Song of Hope."  If you are interested in obtaining a copy, contact me.  Sister wrote about her experiences of angels and answered prayer in her book, "Angels and the Power of Prayer."
      I had to ask Jesus into my life.  It was a prayer like, "Lord, help me!"  But it wasn't fleeting.  I cried all night long - didn't know a person had that much tears within them.  And I prayed all night long.  Shortly after that I received an invitation from someone - "come and see." - The invitation to a healing Mass - I had the strange idea that it was God inviting me - and I went - and I felt the touch of God's love, and I had an image of Jesus taking my wounded heart and holding it next to His Humongous Heart and healing it.
        Jesus is a gentleman.  He waits for your invitation.

Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your heart. It will help put a light on your desire for a deepening of your spiritual life.   A wonderful prayer to say is "Come Holy Spirit" which invites God into our heart to instruct us and to renew us:


"Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.  Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.  And You shall renew the face of the earth.  O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen."

Have you made your new year's resolutions?  Did it include growing in your
spiritual life?  It's not too late to add that.  What better time to start than right now.
     "How many paths lead to God?" was a question posed to Pope Benedict XVI.  He answered, "There are as many ways to God as there were people; since ultimately, each person has his own path."
       God will lead us on our journey, but there are tried and true steps that we can take.
        The first step is to invite God into our hearts.  Praying is talking to God, so just say / pray right now, "Lord, come into my heart.  Lead me.  Guide me.  I want a closer walk with you."
