"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. " 1 Cor 10:13

Lessons from Jesus’ Arrival in Jerusalem

On April 20, 2025 By Paul RoyIn lent, UncategorizedLeave a comment

The post reflects on Palm Sunday, recalling Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and the people's initial welcome followed by betrayal. It suggests that today, societal values still prioritize materialism over faith, highlighting a lack of genuine love for neighbors. Despite modern indifference, Jesus' return and judgment remain imminent. Embrace Him now.

So how's the whole Lent thing working out for you? Keeping all those Lenten resolutions? Yeah, same here. Out of four, I've kept one and a half. No excuses, I'm just a slug. But why should Lenten resolutions be any different than anything else in my life - half done? Maybe it's just the old …

Getting Older

Ok, before you say anything, I know I didn't post yesterday but I was just exhausted, I pretty much spend 10 hours a day staring at a computer screen, and frankly, when I get home I don't always feel like looking at another one, In addition, I had to do some work of the parish …

Are you ready

On March 7, 2022 By Paul RoyIn Faith, lent, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I mentioned in my last post how I have kind of drifted away from the faith in the last two years. Although I didn't lose my faith, I just stopped attending Mass, reading scripture, and praying like I should. So for today's post, I thought I would take a little time to explain what happened. …

Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble

On March 6, 2022 By Paul RoyIn lent, prayer, Uncategorized1 Comment

Today's title is brought to us by today's responsorial Psalm. But you knew that already since you have all been to Mass. It fits nicely with the Gospel reading, about Jesus spending 40 days in the desert and being tempted by Satan. This is one of those verses that lends itself nicely to a short …

Forty Days, Forty Posts

On March 5, 2022 By Paul RoyIn lent, Reflections, Uncategorized1 Comment

Here we are in another Lenten season. For the last two years, I have not written much of anything, I have stopped attending Mass and I have almost (not quite) gone back to my pre-reversion ways. With everything that is going on in the world I have come to the realization that I better get …

And Now a Word From Our Sponser

On March 5, 2017March 6, 2017 By Paul RoyIn Faith, lent, Religious Freedom, SacramentsLeave a comment

Here it is the first Sunday of Lent and the Gospel reading was actually the same one I used yesterday about Jesus going into the desert and being tempted by Satan. The first reading of the day is from Genesis and is the story of Eve being tempted in the Garden of Eden. As I read this …

Stop, Look and Listen

On March 4, 2017 By Paul RoyIn Faith, lent1 Comment

It's Saturday, the fourth day of Lent and so far I have kept to my promise of writing 500 words each day. Now I am not saying they have been 500 quality words, but they have been words. Maybe today since I have more time I will be able to do better.  Why do we …
