Understanding our bodies as temples has the power to better prioritize our daily focus and bring us more peace and unity with God. Will we let it?

Every year when the leaves begin to fall we rejoice because we abide in the one true living vine. - Apart from him we can do nothing. Stay rooted and cultivate those spiritual gardens, friends. - #truevine #Jesus #Catholic #Catholicpodcast
On my birthdays (like today) I like to look back at old pictures of little Richaél. When I was all rolls and cheeks. ... Just look at all that joy! ... Did I know the marvelous adventures the Lord had in store for me? I must have. At the very least my soul knew I was seen and known my God. ... O LORD, you have probed me and you know me; you know when I sit and when I stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize, with all my ways you are familiar. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know the whole of it. Behind me and before, you hem me in and rest your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your spirit? From your presence where can I flee? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I sink to the nether world, you are present there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I settle at the farthest limits of the sea, Even there your hand shall guide me, and your right hand hold me fast. Psalm 139
When the Lord want me to do something... ... So, I've been putting off making a firm commitment to attending a weekly praise and worship prayer meeting for a while. Today this Psalm RUNG with the Lord's *gentle* reminder. Lol He is something else-- I tell ya. ... Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150 ... #psalm #praiseandworship #praise #jesus #Catholicpodcast #catholic
I’m just bursting! On this week’s upcoming episode, I’m talking about prayer. Two types of prayer, actually. ... Prayer that uses the imagination and prayer that is a stillness and quietness of the mind. ... The fact that both exist and are equally important demonstrates the creativity of God and all the ways he reaches out to us. ... As I’ve been preparing for this episode I’ve had these moments during the day where the Holy Spirit fills my heart with an overflowing gratitude for the act of prayer. ... Mostly, how it is first God calling out to us every time the thought crosses our mind or the desire swells in our hearts. ... Reminding me—We are so fiercely pursued by a loving God who yearns for us. ... #prayer #StAugustine #imagination #God #Jesus #Catholic #Catholicpodcast #quietprayer
Did you know the mystical body of Christ also includes those awaiting his glory in Purgatory? - Let us take every opportunity to pray for their souls. - Even though in the Byzantine rite our designated time of year to pray for the souls of the departed is after Pentecost, I've also retained the Roman rite practice of praying for the dead during the month of November because it's so neccessary. - I hope you will join me and find my posts on the subject throughout the month edifying. - #lategram #diadelosmuertos #Catholicpodcast #Catholic #prayer #icon #iconcorner #homealtar #purgatory
Relics in honor of All Saints Day! - “How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been; how gloriously different are the saints.” -- C.S. Lewis - How gloriously different are the saints!! My imagination goes wild when I think of what world could like if all said yes to the sainthood God has planned for us. - Oh and these relics are St. Peregrine and St. Padre Pio. - #allsaintsday #saint #relic #kingdom #Catholicpodcast #Catholic
At last! The day of the year when my skull affinity isn't seen as morbid has arrived. 👻🎃💀 - Here's my Halloween PSA in four points: 1. Have fun. 2. Be safe. 3. Candy corn is probably the most under appreciated Halloween candy. 4. Skulls aren't creepy-- they remind us of our mortality and that every day moves us closer or further away from sainthood. - And yes, those are leopard legging! 🐆 😍 - #halloween #skull #candycorn #trickortreat
I overlooked the essential point of this Psalm for so long. - Before the Lord can give us the desires of our heart, the true desire of our heart, we have to know what that is. - So often we think we know what this is but we miss the mark. I've had a deep self-knowledge and never thought I was one of these people. - But God knows us better than we do! When we "delight in the Lord" we spend time with him. A lot of time. This is where he reveals to us what the deepest desires of our hearts are. - That's the point many overlook. You must spend time with the Lord learning about our hearts from him. - #prayer #psalm #bible #verseoftheday #Catholicpodcast #Catholic #heartsdesire
Incense makes me think immediately of prayer! You? - All week long I've repeatedly found myself humming this Psalm! - Let my prayer ascend to you like incense, and the lifting up of my hands like an evening sacrifice! Psalms 141:2 - We sing this during one of the Byzantine liturgy services. And we always go heavy on the incense! - I'm always reminded, my daily dealings ascend to the Lord as a prayer. He hears my heart--the good, the bad, and the ugly. He hears it all and he loves my authenticity. - Let the Lord see you as you are right now--the good, the bad, or even the ugly. He always wants to hear from you no matter what you're going through. You'll be thankful once you do. Trust me? - #prayer #incense #authentic #smellsandbells #Catholicpodcast #Catholic #motivation
