Saturday, November 30, 2013. The Techie and the Traditionalist. Just had to share! The Price of a Miracle. Here we go again with another Internet story. My sister keeps sending them, and they keep being good enough to share with others. I hope this one is true. I have seen it before, but each time I read it, it is a tear-jerker. A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. And what do you want? The pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I...

100th Lamb: September 2012
http://emahlou.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. We had two priests in our parish, both proved innocent (seems to be against the law of the land that one has to prove innocence rather than an accuser having to prove guilt) who went through this difficult period. One ended up with no food at all at one point. Our parish helped, but not all parishes are wiling or able to do so. Saturday, September 1, 2012. A New Book Especially for Widows. It was written by Dr. Joanna Romer, an English professor and journalist who was wido...

Sharing encounters beyond human understanding . the voice, the presence, and the touch of God . contemplation, deep prayer, and union. Saturday, June 4, 2011.

Modern Mysticism: Daily Life and Prayer Life: A Form of Schizophrenia?
http://diaphanouspresence.blogspot.com/2011/07/daily-life-and-prayer-life-form-of.html
Sharing encounters beyond human understanding . the voice, the presence, and the touch of God . contemplation, deep prayer, and union. Monday, July 4, 2011. Daily Life and Prayer Life: A Form of Schizophrenia? How do others do it? Combine a life of prayer and a life of activity? I suppose one can define prayer somewhat more broadly, along the lines of Br. Lawrence's definition, in which he did everything in his life as if doing it for God (as described in The Practice of the Presence of God. With the fol...

Sharing encounters beyond human understanding . the voice, the presence, and the touch of God . contemplation, deep prayer, and union. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Of Miracles and Mercies.

And that little miracle led to a small tender mercy: it gave me $50 for a Subway gift card so that he does not have to return home and cook meals these last few days he has left with his wife.

Modern Mysticism: Humility III
http://diaphanouspresence.blogspot.com/2010/07/humility-iii.html
Sharing encounters beyond human understanding . the voice, the presence, and the touch of God . contemplation, deep prayer, and union. Saturday, July 3, 2010. Oh, yes, I love it when God attends meetings with me, when I can feel His presence in the room with me, whether I am leading them or attending them. There was even a time that a prayer resulted in intercession. In what could have been a very awkward and uncomfortable meeting. Practice of the presence of God. July 4, 2010 at 9:34 PM.
