Critical Mass

Little White Book, Monday 3/30
The Feast of the Annunciation
Of course, today we are discussing Mary’s “Yes” to God, and whether in our day-to-day routine we are saying “Yes” or “No” to God.  They point out that it’s usually not a direct “yes” or “no,” but rather a failure to take God into account in our [...]

Little White Book, Saturday 3/30
(Yep, I’m a day behind.  I’ll try to catch up.)
This reading is mainly directed at getting us to think about the immense magnitude of an infinite God, and what that might mean to us.  Then it tells us that, “Faith is nothing more and nothing less than accepting my connection with [...]

Little White Book, Saturday 3/29
Today’s Gospel (Mk 16:9-15) tells us of how the faithful disciples of Jesus were hesitant to believe in the Resurrection until confronted with hard evidence.  The reflection in the LWB talks of the context of Mark’s writing, being that the Christians had just gone through torture and persecution under Nero.  It [...]

Does anyone else have a recurrent theme of trial in their life?  For me, this seems to be laundry.
A little history:  Growing up, my mom was the Energizer Bunny of Housekeeping.  You would wake up in the morning, head off to the bathroom to get ready for the day, and by the time you returned, [...]

Little White Book, Friday 3/28
Reflection on the Gospel of the day:  Jn 21:1-14.  ”Jesus constantly reaches out to me, extends his graced love to me.  He wants only to care for me, help me, heal me, forgive me.  There are times when I especially need to be cared for.  By Jesus.”
How true is that!  Yesterday was [...]

Little White Book, Thursday 3/27
“We all have wounds — from broken relationships, injuries, setbacks, crime, tragedies.  Perhaps some wounds were the result of our own mistakes.  Some may still be bleeding.”
“…the Lord uses the dissonance of my wounds to create something beautiful within me.”
 Today, I am particularly having some problems with my “scar tissue.”  Especially [...]

Little White Book, Wednesday 3/26
Okay, for whatever reason, I have noticed that most parishes close down to a degree right after Easter and Christmas.  What this means for me (egomaniac that I am) — I don’t get to go to Mass at 6:30 a.m. before work.  Certainly, I do the readings, and, of course, I [...]

Little White Book, Tuesday 3/25
Today’s Gospel is Jn 20:11-18, where (to horribly paraphrase) Mary Magdalene is upset because the tomb is empty (thinking someone stole His body), and doesn’t immediately recognise Jesus when he greets her.
So, the book asks me, “…if there are times when the Lord is present to me in a special way [...]
