A Quality of Being in the Right Place

  September 30, 2025 Hello!   How is each and every one? I am being challenged by this post since yesterday.   I find myself going against the effects of a virus that caught up with me.   Tracing how it did, I remember somebody who had it sneezing in my direction.   I was unaware of how strongly she had it.   I did not really pay attention until now that I have caught it.   I have been with it for already 5 days. Fighting against drowsiness.   Yesterday we celebrated the Feast of the Three Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.   And we had a birthday celebrant; upon her request, we watched Michael Knowles hosting in Turning Point USA.   Actually some of us have already been watching and listening to different segments in You Tube.

September 23, 2025 LETTING GO    Creative Healthy Family Hello!  How is each and every one? I have been following the news about Charlie Kirk and last night we watched the memorial service and listened to Erica’s speech among other things on forgiveness, it was not easy for her to say it.

  September 16, 2025 Hello!  How is each and every one? Last Sunday, the 14 th of September,  the Church celebrated the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross by which we have all been redeemed by Jesus Christ.  One of the many aspirations of St. Josemaria, the Founder of Opus Dei was ‘In joy, not a day without the Cross’.  “ In laetitia, nulla dies sine cruce ”. He would use it to encourage himself “to carry the Lord’s burden with generosity, always with good humor, though often it means going against the grain” and that is why a custom in Opus Dei is to adorn the wooden cross with flowers from the afternoon of September 13 to the morning of the 14 th in preparation for the feast. It is to remind each and every one that love comes in the form of a cross.  “Love sacrifice; it is a fountain of interior life.  Love the Cross, which is an altar of sacrifice. Love pain, until you drink, as Christ did, the very dregs of the chalice” (12 th Station o...
