I heard an excellent homily today on the gospel of Jesus appearing to the disciples when Thomas was not present. Why did Thomas need to see the wounds in order to believe in the resurrected Jesus? Perhaps it is all about personal connection… I know it is true for me that my deepest moments of [...]

It has been another one of those tough weeks…my Monday started with me not feeling well and needing some down time. Fortunately, I didn’t have any classes or meetings on Tuesday, so I had an opportunity to give myself a little more rest. For some reason, I’m still feeling sluggish - perhaps charging through last [...]

I’ve been spending a fair amount of time at Gesu these days. Our Holy Thursday celebration was beautiful in a kind of quiet way. But the main thing I want to share with you is our Good Friday service. Starting at noon, we have a devotional service based on the Stations of the Cross, followed [...]

We just received this message via e-mail, so I thought I might post it here in case any of you might be interested in a road trip to western PA. Seems to me the Easter season might be a good time to reflect on what God may be calling us to at whatever time on [...]

Back in Baden, the celebration was held this past Sunday, but here in Detroit, I’ll be celebrating with some local CSJs tonight. At the same time, there’s a [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, I am using Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in my prayer these days. You can find the libretto with English translation here. Last night, I was reflecting on the woman who anointed Jesus’s feet at Bethany, and how his disciples were bickering about the waste of the [...]

I soooo don’t have time to be updating this blog…the conference work has me way behind on my regular grading, but I’m in the home stretch on that…most of the conference work will be finished by April 21.
Since music is one of my passions, I thought I’d tell you about a couple of on-line [...]

Arrived safely last night, with lots of nice memories of my time in Florida with good friends. On my last post, a couple of you commented on the photo of the scrub jay. So here are a couple of photos of an even more colorful bird - the painted bunting - I saw the female [...]

Survived my biggest adventure today…we did a 9.4-mile hike at Jonathan Dickinson State Park today…started at about 8:30, and got off the trail a little before 1:30. I’m feeling muscles I haven’t felt in a long time. Yet, I’m pretty glad I was able to complete the hike without any major difficulty, especially since I [...]

I know…not a heading you would be expecting on the web site of a nun…
Just letting you know I arrived safely in Stuart, Florida on Friday. My friends are wonderful hostesses, and we are having lots of fun. On Saturday, we spent the better part of the morning in kayaks at the Savannas Preserve State [...]
