Week 486

Positive Post Sunday, June 21, 2026…. Week 486. Enduring suffering for the sake of what is good is never wasted; it is the quiet echo of Christ’s own path.

Week 485

Positive Post Sunday, June 14, 2026…. Week 485.  We’ve all heard the phrase, “I’ve hit rock bottom.” It’s a place none of us ever hope to visit, yet many of us eventually do.

Week 484

Positive Post Sunday, June 7, 2026…. Week 484. In a life of faith, kindness and honesty were never meant to be separated.

Week 483

Positive Post Sunday, May 31, 2026…. Week 483. I don’t know about you, but in today’s divisive, fast‑paced, and cluttered world, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to quiet my mind long enough to enter the presence of God. That is, until I spent time reading Brother Lawrence’s classic, The Practice of the Presence of God….

Week 482

Positive Post Sunday, May 24, 2026…. Week 482. In our spiritual life, the difference between reacting and responding is the difference between being driven by emotion and being guided by the Holy Spirit.

Week 481

Positive Post Sunday, May 17, 2026…. Week 481. When something breaks, when loss arrives uninvited, when a prayer seems to go unanswered, our first instinct is often to ask why.

Week 480

Positive Post Sunday, May 10, 2026…. Week 480. Following my retirement, Michele and I began attending daily morning Mass once a week.

Week 479

Positive Post Sunday, May 3, 2026…. Week 479.  God spoke to me on April 29th. I had been feeling discouraged about the quality of the time I set aside for Him each day. No matter how hard I tried, I struggled to quiet my mind. The noise of the world, the division, the tension, the…

Week 478

Positive Post Sunday, April 26, 2026…. Week 478.  Two simple questions have the power to reshape your entire day: “Is this pleasing to God?” and “Does this bring me closer to Him?” When we hold these questions close, they cut through the noise, the hurry, the temptations, and the distractions that so easily pull us…

Week 477

Positive Post Sunday, April 19, 2026…. Week 477.  Every day we are surrounded by good things; beauty, comfort, relationships, achievements, even ministry itself. These are gifts from God. But gifts were never meant to become gods we worship. Creation can inspire us, move us, and point our hearts upward, but it can never satisfy the…
